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.

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.
