A Supportive Place for Healing & Growth

Welcome!

My approach to therapy is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in curiosity.

Together, we focus on increasing self-understanding, emotional flexibility,

and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and self-compassion.

​

Therapy can be done both online and in-person.

My office is located in Cleveland Heights. I offer free phone or zoom consultations so that you can talk to me, ask me any questions, and get a feel for what therapy sessions are like. Please feel free to contact me.

​

I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Specialties

Therapy for LGBTQIA+ Communities

 

I offer psychotherapy for LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating identity, relationships, minority stress, and the emotional impact of living in a world that does not always feel safe or welcoming.

​

Therapy offers space to honor your lived experience and explore how it continues to shape your sense of self and connection.

Therapy for Depression & Anxiety

 

Depression and anxiety can show up as overwhelm, numbness, restlessness, or a sense of being stuck.

​

Therapy provides a supportive space to understand what’s beneath these experiences, develop steadier ways of coping, and begin to feel more connected to yourself and your life.

EMDR & Trauma Therapy

 

Trauma can stem from specific events or from ongoing relational and emotional experiences.

​

I offer trauma-informed therapy, including

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), to help process distressing memories, reduce emotional reactivity, and support healing at a pace that prioritizes safety and readiness.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

 

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) can support people experiencing depression, trauma, or emotional patterns that have felt difficult to shift through traditional talk therapy alone.

​

KAP work is intentional and collaborative, with careful attention to preparation, meaning-making, and integration with ongoing therapeutic support.

About Me

I came to psychotherapy after a career in fundraising for local non-profit organizations. For the past decade, I have been honored to work as a psychotherapist in support of my clients, bearing witness to the power of a strong therapeutic alliance.

 

Working from a queer, trauma-informed, and Gestalt-based practice, I provide collaborative therapy for adults navigating depression & anxiety, trauma, identity-related stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions.
