Isn’t it hard to be a person sometimes? Life can be challenging, and you don’t have to go through it alone. My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore who you are, what you’re feeling, and where you want to go. Starting therapy can feel like a big leap into the unknown, and I get that it can be intimidating. I’ve been there! I’m here to assure you that you’re not alone in this. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, meaning that I meet you where you are, and we figure it out along the way.
I specialize in areas such as self-esteem, body image, dating + relationships, women's health, chronic illness, ADHD in adults, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, and life transitions. I have a special passion for working with the transgender community, and I have over ten years of experience in various roles focusing on LGBTQIA individuals.
At the end of the day, you are the expert on YOU. I’m here to be your guide, your ally, and your biggest cheerleader as you go through this process. Whether you feel you need a little bit of Rose or a lot of Dorothy in a therapist, I’m here to provide you with the support I believe we all need sometimes.
