I’m So Glad You’re Here! Life is full of highs and lows, and it’s normal to feel stuck or overwhelmed at times. Whether you’re navigating substance misuse, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or the challenges of being a people-pleaser, I’m here to walk alongside you. As an LGBTQIA-affirming therapist, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can be your authentic self without fear of judgment. I have a special focus on supporting women and LGBTQIA+ individuals, offering understanding and care that honors your unique experiences. Together, we’ll break painful cycles and empower you to live more fully and authentically.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and building a foundation for our work together. I’ll listen to your story, explore the challenges you’re facing, and discuss your goals for therapy. This is also a time for you to ask questions and feel comfortable with the process. I take a holistic approach to therapy, looking at the whole you—not just your struggles, but your strengths, values, and unique qualities. My toolkit includes evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Person-Centered Therapy, and EMDR. Together, we’ll decide which approaches best support your journey. This first session is all about setting the stage for healing, growth, and positive change.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and understood. I bring deep empathy to every session and meet each person where they are on their journey. My background in both mental health and substance use allows me to provide support that integrates emotional insight with practical strategies. By blending techniques like CBT, EMDR, Person-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness, I tailor my approach to each client’s needs. Above all, I am committed to being an LGBTQIA-affirming, empathetic, and empowering presence in your life, with a special focus on supporting women and queer clients through their unique experiences.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adults 18+ and offer both in-person and online therapy. I have a particular focus on women and LGBTQIA+ individuals, providing a safe, affirming space where your identity is celebrated and respected. Healing can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll work toward your goals with compassion and care. Take a deep breath—it would be an honor to support you on your journey toward growth and transformation.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my work with CBT, I love helping clients notice and challenge the thought patterns that keep them stuck. I guide you in breaking down overwhelming problems into manageable steps and discovering practical ways to shift negative thinking. Over time, I’ve seen how empowering it is when clients begin to take control of their thoughts and emotions, gaining tools they can use every day to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-Centered Therapy is at the heart of how I work with people. I focus on creating a space where you feel truly heard, valued, and understood. My approach is grounded in empathy and unconditional positive regard—I aim to meet you exactly where you are. I’ve found that when clients feel safe and accepted, they begin to trust themselves more, explore their feelings deeply, and uncover their own path to growth and healing.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I often integrate mindfulness practices into sessions because I’ve seen how powerful they can be for calming the mind and reconnecting with the present. I guide clients through techniques like deep breathing, body scans, and guided meditation, helping you notice and honor your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Over time, clients tell me they feel more centered, resilient, and able to respond to stress with curiosity rather than fear.
EMDR
EMDR has been one of the most transformative tools in my practice, especially for clients processing trauma or deeply held emotional pain. I work closely with you in a safe, in-person setting to help reframe distressing memories and integrate new perspectives. I’ve seen clients experience profound shifts—moments of relief, clarity, and self-compassion that they didn’t think were possible. It’s deeply rewarding to witness this kind of healing unfold.

Dacey is my dream therapist. I never thought I’d find someone I can talk to and just let everything out. She’s like a friend I can talk to and never feel like I’m being judged. I’d recommend her over and over again to anyone I know seeking a therapist. I always feel a weight lifted after each session.

Dacey is great! She has a great balance of listening, questioning to make me think differently, and she always makes me feel safe and comfortable. She also always makes sure to encourage me by telling me how brave and strong I am being and how much that shows about my character, which really helps boost my own self esteem.

She's always willing to help and listens to what I have to say even when I think it's silly. She helps me understand that my feelings and opinions matters and that its ok to have bad days. She makes me feel seen and heard and I really couldn't ask for anyone better to be my therapist.
