I love working with clients who are reflective, open to self-exploration and ready to challenge long-standing beliefs about themselves. I help adults build confidence, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms.

This helps clients experience greater clarity, stronger boundaries, and improved self-worth.

I'm a nurse practitioner with six years of experience across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient psychiatric settings. I specialize in addiction and substance use, depression, and general psychiatry — working exclusively with adults. After years of high-paced clinical work, I built a telehealth practice designed around real life: I see patients evenings and Saturday mornings, so quality psychiatric care doesn't have to compete with your workday. I take a practical, no-nonsense approach — focused on what actually helps you move forward.
I am a fat and queer therapist who understands the importance of showing up as your whole self. At Whole and True, LLC, I create a space where all of your parts are welcome: the messy, the resilient, the grieving, the curious, and the joyful. My work focuses on supporting LGBTQ+ folks who are navigating eating disorders, trauma, OCD, and anxiety. I believe therapy works best when it is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and connection.
