No matter where our pain originates —big or small —it leaves a mark. It feels like it forces us to carry things that no longer serve us. 

What if you could drop it all and leave it behind? Imagine this: That first moment when you recognize that you do not need to be defined by your pain. You're probably closer to it than you think, and together, we can help you cross that finish line and live your best, most fulfilling life. 

I am passionate about working with people struggling with single-event or complex trauma, depression, and the pain that comes with being a human being. I also provide LGBTQ+, poly, and gender affirming services. When we get working, I’ll have you begin looking at your experiences through a client-centered and narrative lens to ensure that we fully understand what lies beneath the surface of our struggles, learn from it, and drop all that weight. 

Therapy is not always affordable, and as a therapy intern, I can offer services at a lower rate, making quality therapy accessible to you. The relationship we build during your therapy journey is crucial for creating lasting change. If you're prepared to start, it would be an honor to serve as your therapist and help you navigate the challenges that life presents. Let support be there to help you carry that weight.
