About Me and What Shapes My Work?
I have always believed that love and connection are the true purpose of human existence. I became fascinated from a young age with why people do the things they do, and why so much of what we do leads us to loneliness and disconnection instead of love. This curiosity lead me to study psychology, where I found my passion in working with clients on issues surrounding relationships, identity, and connection. The intersecting roles that trauma, culture, and identity play in our lives is a central focus for me. I’ve seen so many ways in which people feel unsafe because of their identities and the things they’ve experienced, and I’ve been honored to be part of their healing journeys. Throughout it all, connection has been the theme I’ve found that has been most important, because healing doesn’t happen in isolation.
Specialization and Approach
Feeling seen and heard without judgment is the foundation of healing, and that is the space I strive to create with clients. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, identity exploration, non-monogamy, and exploring the role of relationships and sex in healing from trauma. The modalities I use to create change are:
Attachment-based and psychodynamic therapy: to understand your family, relationships, and experiences that create the road map to who you are today, so you can recognize the patterns that are keeping you stuck.
EMDR: to process underlying trauma this is impacting current relationships and to rewire your brain from protection to connection.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT): to understand your attachment history and how this impacts your relationship dynamics so that you and your partner stop getting stuck in the same cycle.
Gottman Method: to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen relational foundations.
Training Credentials and Clinical Work
I am currently working towards my doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Denver, where I completed my Master’s in International Disaster Psychology in 2024. I received my BA in psychology from the University of Guelph in Canada, where I’m originally from. In my training and academic work, I am passionate about LGBTQ+ populations and am writing my doctoral paper on adapting traditional psychodynamic theories to be more inclusive and affirming of queer and trans identities. I have completed training in EMDR Therapy as well as Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
Who I Work Best With
I work best with clients who are:
Wanting to understand and change their patterns in relationships
Seeking deeper emotional awareness and express
Wanting to explore aspects of their identity and live more aligned with their true self
Looking for more than just skills to cope with challenges and want to dig into the root causes underneath
Wanting to improve their connection to themselves and others
