I've worked with individuals from many walks of life throughout my years of practice most of whom have experienced trauma and struggle with mood instability, anxiety, personality disorders, and/or attachment and relationship disruption. Most of my clients are some combination of neurodivergent, queer, trans, non-monogamous, and/or kinky. My practice is driven by a deeply held belief in the power of relationships to cultivate positive change and healing. This begins with the therapeutic relationship which I give ongoing attention and priority to as maintaining the therapeutic alliance is essential for successful treatment.

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindful Self-Compassion which provide you the tools for emotion management, creating an accepting view of yourself, and cultivating a balanced life. Schema Therapy also allows us to address stuck points related to core emotional wounds and helps you identify unmet emotional needs.
I am here to walk with you on your path to healing. I'll help you gain insight into your thoughts and behaviors, develop effective coping strategies, and find a greater sense of fulfillment and authenticity in your life. Together, we can explore the possibilities of your personal growth and well-being, no matter where you are. Let's connect.
