I am often struck by how challenging being in relationship can be, both with ourselves and with others. Yet, in my work with couples and individuals I have seen that when we join with others in exploring these challenges, we can develop a greater capacity to appreciate what sets us apart while nourishing connection. I also believe that relationships are expansive and include the ones we have with past or different parts of ourselves, people who are no longer with us or never were, people we hope to meet or become, and even with substances, places, objects, bodies, and identities.

Life can be stressful, complex and difficult to cope with, given today's challenging world.

I am here to help you sort through these challenging feelings and work with you on building strategies and mechanisms that will strengthen you amidst these difficulties. If you are struggling to make sense of life, or even a particular situation, struggling with closure, grief, having a hard time coping with life's demanding pace, or feeling like you're burning out, I am here to help.

Throughout our sessions, I strive to create an environment of compassion, acceptance, and present moment awareness. I don't see myself as fundamentally different from the client, but rather as someone who can bring a fresh perspective to their situation. I believe that the client and I are both climbing our own mountains, and I can use my vantage point to identify obstacles on their mountain that they may not be aware of. In therapy, every struggle is important, and no one's pain is greater or less than another's. Together, we can then find new ways to navigate these obstacles and chart a new course towards a more fulfilling life.

Are you a queer, trans, or neurodivergent person dealing with the hurt of discrimination, rejection, or the feeling that folks around you just don’t understand? Maybe you struggle with trauma symptoms, dissociation, anxiety, depression, self-blame, or low self-worth. It can be hard to get up the courage to come to therapy only to feel like you have to explain the basics of your identity to your therapist. Worse yet, it can be scary to seek therapy when the field of psychology has historically tried to keep us from being our authentic selves.
