Trauma can affect us long after an experience has ended. Whether you've experienced childhood abuse, sexual assault, interpersonal violence, or other difficult or overwhelming experiences, the effects can show up in many ways—including PTSD or complex PTSD (CPTSD), anxiety, depression, difficulties with relationships, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You don't have to be in crisis or have a formal diagnosis to seek support. Therapy can help you understand how past experiences may still be affecting you and create space for healing and change.

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and centered on safety, choice, and your individual needs. I draw from EMDR, parts work (IFS-informed), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), somatic approaches, and creative/art therapy-informed treatment. We won't assume that one approach works for everyone; instead, we'll work together to find what feels useful and appropriate for you. My goal isn't simply to help you "move past" what happened, but to help you develop a greater sense of understanding, connection, and choice in your life.

Depression can affect much more than mood. It can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or unlike yourself. Therapy can provide a space to understand what may be contributing to these feelings, reconnect with yourself, and begin finding ways forward.

Anxiety can make it difficult to slow your thoughts, feel present, or trust that things will be okay. Whether you're dealing with chronic worry, panic, overwhelm, or racing thoughts, therapy can help you better understand your anxiety, develop effective coping strategies, and feel more grounded and in control.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand how important it can be to have a space where you don't have to explain, defend, or minimize who you are. I work with LGBTQIA+ adults navigating identity, relationships, coming out, gender, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other challenges. My goal is to provide genuine affirmation, thoughtful support, and a space where you can show up as your whole self.

I also provide comprehensive assessments and letters for gender-affirming medical care at no cost, without requiring ongoing therapy. Please reach out if you have questions about the assessment or letter you need.

Compassionate support from a therapist who truly gets it. Living with a pet who has behavioral or health challenges can affect far more than your relationship with your animal. We can talk through the emotional impact of your pet's challenges, their effects on your relationships and daily life, the stigma that can come with having a "difficult" pet, decisions around rehoming or behavioral euthanasia, and even the trauma of experiencing or witnessing pet aggression.

I also provide emotional support animal (ESA) assessments and letters for individuals whose school, landlord, or employer requires documentation for accommodations. Assessment needs vary from person to person, but typically require a minimum of three sessions. Animals being considered as ESAs should be potty-trained and reasonably well-behaved.
