Our first session focuses on your history, what brings you to therapy, and your current symptoms and goals. We’ll cover confidentiality, too, since that helps people feel safer. I’ll explain my style and the approaches I use, and reinforce that whatever works for you is the way we’ll go. In the sessions that follow, we’ll dig into current stressors while building coping skills and awareness.

I love working with people who have experienced trauma and are ready to heal from its impact, especially childhood trauma and religious trauma. I also specialize in neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, and more) and relationship issues, and I work with teens, adults, elders, and couples. I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome BIPOC clients.

I’m a huge nerd: a lover of books, movies, video games, and anime of most genres, and I make Renaissance festivals a priority every year. I also have ADHD, so I tend to share fun facts as I learn them, especially when we need a moment to decompress and laugh in the middle of hard work.
