I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re struggling with the uncomfortable and beautiful mess of being human, you’re in the right place. You might feel like you can't turn your mind off, getting down on yourself with harsh criticism or anxious doubt, struggling with dynamics in a relationship, going through a destabilizing change, or feeling trapped by old wounds. You might feel that others view you as having your "stuff" together, but inside you’re struggling in ways that are hard to articulate. You’re ready to find freedom from patterns, emotions, thoughts, and relationship dynamics that are bringing you down.
Together, we can work toward building a healthier, kinder relationship with yourself. We’ll focus on bringing more peace into your everyday life, finding balance during emotional highs and lows, improving your relationships, and making sense of change. I’m here to help you rewrite old narratives and find peace in both your mind and body.
I aim to be a warm place to land as we navigate through the pain, chaos, and change that can be part of life. I strive to provide a grounding space when life feels like too much. I know that reaching out for support can be vulnerable and intimidating. As a queer therapist, my practice is LGBTQ2S+ positive and welcomes diversity.
