Accepting new clients. I do not specifically work with couples or do family/polycule therapy, but work with poly/ENM-identifying folks on an individual basis. I also specialize in working with LGBTQ+ folks and people struggling with body image, grief, trauma, and depression.

I specialized in all trauma, neurodivergence, IPV, DV, and assaults. I have many subspecialties under this as well. I take a more laid back, genuine route to therapy with my main modality home base being a relational psychodynamic approach but overall being an integrative provider as people’s needs change as do their environments which impact what they can handle and my treatment views. I take a true trauma informed collaborative approach to therapy and treatment as well with the ultimate view of the client as the expert at their life story. I offer individual, couples, and family counseling. I also will be starting some group skills services. I provide services in person and virtually as well as evenings and weekends. I only provide services in english. I work with all clients ages 12 years and older.

Create more intimacy in your life so you can have deeper and more fulfilling connections with yourself and those around you. I am an interactive therapist who will help you make the changes you want. I work mindfully and somatically. I focus on: couples, relationships, sexuality, trauma, anxiety, kids and teens, and life transitions. I welcome your unique sexual make-up including orientation, gender, and relationship style.

Do you want to feel better without conforming to someone elses idea of wellness to do so? Are you hitting hard spots in a relationship but are wary about seeking counseling for fear that important aspects of that relationship will not be understood? I specialize in working with adults and children who have found themselves out-of-the-box in one way or another, whether that be high sensitivity or learning, neurological, or physical differences, gender expression or sexual orientation and expression, or simply an unconventional experience and expression of life. Oftentimes these differences became tied up with hurt and sadness and with coping strategies as individuals navigated a world that often misunderstood them. I use and teach a body-oriented, mindful, heart-centered approach to resolve these hurts and develop new strategies. I welcome the unique and authentic in each person and relationship and honor the ways that each person, by being themselves, opens up more room in the world.
