Explore how experiences that disrupted safety, trust, or identity continue to shape your life. We’ll understand the purpose your survival adaptations once served, work through unresolved trauma, and strengthen your ability to honor your needs, set boundaries, and build relationships without abandoning yourself.

Someone who helps them feel deeply understood while also challenging them when needed. Clients appreciate this balance of compassion and directness as we recognize patterns of self-abandonment, self-criticism, people-pleasing, and painful relationships—and explore new ways of responding.

Space to share what brings you to therapy without having to tell your whole story at once. I’ll ask about your concerns, history, and hopes for our work, while making room for your questions. Together, we’ll begin identifying what you need, discuss treatment options, and consider whether working with me feels like the right fit.

Having walked a healing path myself, I understand how meaningful it can be to have your experiences met with curiosity and compassion. I became a therapist to help people understand the story behind their survival—how they adapted, what those adaptations protected, and how they can begin creating a life with greater self-trust and choice.

My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, BIPOC affirming, body-positive, kink-positive, and welcoming of polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships.
