Overview

As an LICSW and Certified Grief Informed Professional, I work with people who are exhausted from trying to hold everything together on their own. If you’re navigating grief, trauma, or the realities of being LGBTQ in a tough world, therapy with me offers room to breathe. I use Schema Therapy to help you understand the patterns you didn’t choose but still live out, and together we create new ones that actually support healing, connection, and a sense of emotional steadiness.
My style is warm, direct, and a little snarky in the “I care about you, so let’s not pretend everything is fine” way. I’m collaborative and human, more genuine conversation, less silent head-nodding. Therapy with me honors your lived experience, makes room for humor when it fits, and helps you untangle the emotional knots that keep you stuck.
If you’re grieving something big, noticing patterns that won’t quit, or simply feeling simply feeling overwhelmed, I offer a grounded space to recalibrate and feel supported.
