About Me

Most of my experience has been with the LGBTQ+ community, treating PTSD, anxiety, depression and chronic pain. I generally aim to facilitate positive change by addressing unhelpful thought patterns and creating healthier emotional habits. I also work with folks who are looking to cultivate healthy relationships, and live their most genuine and authentic life. If you are looking for a safe and supportive space to process difficult feelings and an affirming and friendly therapist, I can help.

We will work together to help you gain greater insight into yourself and your experiences through the use of EMDR related tools and skills. Using my expertise in multiple modalities of psychotherapy and your expertise on yourself, we will collaborate to get you to a place in your life that feels more fulfilling and satisfying. Our work will focus on building a trusting , respectful and safe therapeutic relationship where you'll feel safe to express yourself fully, and also feel confident in being able to navigate your life in an emotionally safe way. Through our work together you might explore core beliefs and personal narratives that may be barriers to living your most authentic life. We will overcome these barriers together by capitalizing on the strengths you already have while integrating new strategies and skills. I also aim to take a nonjudgmental and supportive stance that will assist you in challenging yourself to make long lasting positive changes.

My ultimate goal of our work together is to assist you in processing and navigating your difficult feelings and past experiences by attuning to to your needs, building a supportive therapeutic relationship, and helping you strengthen trust and connection to your own feelings and your judgment. We will work together to minimize the impact of any past experiences, memories or feelings that have been holding you back.
