I know that a one-size-fits-all approach does not truly fit anyone.
My work is firmly rooted in existential humanism, meaning that the search for meaning and self-realization is central to our work together. I believe that you are the expert on you and your experience and it is my great honor to walk with you on your path. The relationship that we will collaboratively build in session will aid you on your healing journey. I am skilled at creating a non-judgmental environment and accepting you where you are, no matter where that is, as we work to shine light on what once seemed too dark to face.
From my experience as a client and practitioner, I know that reaching out for help is one of the hardest parts of healing. I am ready to receive you with warmth and understanding, and I honor your courage in taking this first step. Sometimes, when we are suffering, we feel alone. Let's work towards healing together.
After years of dedication to this phase of life, I have gained fluency in walking with teens through their transition into adulthood and helping them to access their inner wisdom.
I am also skilled in facilitating family sessions to increase meaningful dialogue within the family system.
As a queer psychotherapist, I am passionate about providing services to LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life.
I specialize in providing LGBTQIA2S+ competent psychotherapy, with a focus on transgender children, adolescents, and adults of all ages.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
