LISW-CP, LCSW · Therapist

In a world filled with constant demands and sensory overload, I strive to create a space where you can slow down, gain clarity, and plot a course towards where you would like to be. It is my perspective that we live in a unique time where our minds are flooded with petitions for our attention. Conflicts of identity and labels bombard us daily, whether we seek it or not. These confusing times make for confusing minds, and it is my mission to help you find clarity and perspective through genuine connection and with the help of therapeutic techniques. I have six years of experience in providing therapy, and I have training in trauma, CBT, mindfulness, and ketamine assisted therapy.

I have always held ethics in the highest regard, holding the philosophy that the best work comes from a solid foundation, which is what I bring with me in sessions. I believe in human equality and the common dream we all have of obtaining freedom from suffering. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and more than happy to work with diverse populations.
