Who I am
as a therapist
I am a creative, queer, neurodivergent therapist who is LGBTQIA+ affirming. Often my work is centered around identity, including the different parts of you that may be wounded, need cared for, and are calling out for growth. With a background rich in the performing arts, I am aware of the specific mental and emotional trauma and struggles that are often associated with creative work. Additionally, I have experience working in university and healthcare settings, and hold deep empathy for the particular struggles encountered in these environments as well. Perfectionists and people with high-demand careers are welcome here.
Curiosity, empathy, and creativity are the main things I bring into our therapeutic relationship. I am innately curious about people. It is my belief that each person has their own story which is influenced by their experiences, culture, background, and an array of multi-dimensional components. Throughout sessions, we will utilize an integrated therapy model to empower the exploration of emotions, thoughts, and experiences that impact you. I believe in creating an empathetic and authentic space where you can show up as you are. It is truly an honor to sit with you as your story unfolds.
