I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, and suicidal thoughts, with a focus on LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse clients. I specialize in religious trauma and spiritual harm, including the impacts of high-control environments, and offer a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment or pressure.

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and paced. I prioritize building safety, stability, and coping skills before moving into deeper healing work. I integrate modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and am an EMDR provider in training and CAMS Certified to support clients in managing distress, understanding themselves more deeply, and moving toward meaningful change.

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and a Master of Divinity (MDiv), which informs my work with religious trauma and the complex ways spirituality and identity intersect with mental health. I do not practice from a faith-based framework; instead, I support clients in defining their own beliefs, values, and sense of meaning.

As a queer, neurodiverse clinician living with invisible disabilities, I bring both professional training and lived experience into my work. I am committed to providing affirming, non-coercive care that centers your autonomy and lived experience.

My background includes trauma-informed research, training, and community-based work with high risk and marginalized communities, along with work and education around complex trauma and mental health struggles. I also have a strong interest in the human-animal bond, hold a certificate in Human-Animal-Environment Interactions (HAEI), and have experience with animal-assisted therapy, which I plan to incorporate this Fall.

Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and build the tools you need to move forward. You don’t have to do it alone.
