Welcome to Open Cadence Therapy!
Guiding kids, teens, and adults through emotions and trauma… You’ve got this. Kids and teens have got this. I am here to help you see it.
Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming! Maybe it’s your first time. Maybe you’ve been disappointed before. Either way, therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. Life is messy, and therapy should meet you there — with curiosity, care, and creativity.
You deserve to feel safe, respected, and supported in therapy. I provide affirming, inclusive, and culturally responsive care for LGBTQ+ clients and members of marginalized communities.

I genuinely believe growth happens in healthy, secure relationships with self and others. My work integrates elements of expressive art and play therapies with more traditional ones from a relational, trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming lens, making an authentic therapeutic relationship built on trust, support, and mutual respect imperative. I want you feel comfortable and empowered exploring from a place of curiosity, connection, and attunement.
OCT values include authenticity, empathy, creativity, curiosity, humor, compassion, collaboration, inclusivity, and cultural humility & competency. Lastly, I value and strive to make the hard work FUN!
