I work with adults in both individual and group psychotherapy to help them address a range of concerns such as trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I specialize in working with trans and queer individuals, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Psychotherapy can have a profound impact when there is a good match between the client and therapist. During sessions, I bring a curious, humorous, and compassionate approach to assist clients in understanding and shifting patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating. Exploring these aspects can contribute to better understanding and addressing symptoms, distress, and disconnection. If you find my approach resonates with you and you're interested in exploring how psychotherapy can benefit you, please get in touch with me to schedule a 10-15 minute introductory call.
