I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I specialize in working with individuals to enhance their self-esteem and support them in becoming their favorite versions of themselves, including both gender and sexuality affirming care. Through personalized therapeutic approaches, I aim to empower my clients to overcome challenges and achieve their personal goals.

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, as well as couples, families, and groups on diverse issues (e.g., life changes and day-to-day experiences, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, psychosomatic, gender issues, LGTBQ+ issues, substance abuse, eating disorders, personality, disruptive behaviors, and so much more). I have certifications in working with clients who have experienced trauma and have extensive crisis training.

My work as a psychotherapist is rooted in a profound belief that by recognizing and honoring our complex, messy life stories with honesty and gentleness, we lay the foundation to heal the obstacles preventing us from building fulfilling, meaningful lives. Throughout life, we all create narratives about ourselves to help us survive. These narratives are shaped by myriad factors (individual life experiences, relationships, intergenerational legacies, and experiences of oppression/privilege, belonging/rejection, among others). Over time, our narratives and coping mechanisms fall short. We wonder, what went wrong? What's wrong with me?

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My primary specialty is providing both individual and couples counseling to members of the LGBTQ+ population. I offer sexuality and gender-affirming care, sex therapy, and polyamory counseling. I also specialize in working with clients of all ages who suffer from complex trauma and PTSD. In addition, I have expertise in working with children and adults with brain-based differences such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), and other conditions of neurodiversity. I provide education and support to caregivers raising children with these challenges, as well as empowering individuals who live with these disorders to reach their full potential.
