Life can be hard sometimes. Deeply painful events, life transitions, and complicated interpersonal relationships are all part of the experience. Sometimes, along the way, we get lost and need to rediscover our sense of self, meaning, or purpose. It can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As human beings, we develop, grow, and change in and through our relationships. Seeking therapy is a courageous and hopeful step. I am committed to helping you live your life authentically and to its full potential, untethered by anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship problems.

Are you feeling a pull toward more clarity, more connection, more ease in how you move through your relationships and your life. Therapy can be a space to turn toward that pull with intention. Whether you’re exploring relational patterns, preparing for partnership, moving through a life transition, or making sense of loss, our work together invites a deeper understanding of yourself and the ways you connect with others. For couples, this is a place to strengthen communication, deepen intimacy, and build a shared foundation with care and awareness. Together we can slow things down and listen more closely to what’s unfolding.

Anxiety, depression, and relationship issues can sometimes feel insurmountable. I am here to give you hope that we can work together through these issues and move toward healthier functioning. I believe everyone is made up of different parts, and while none of those parts are bad, I want to help you attend to your internal experience which will lead you to understanding, self-compassion, and self-acceptance. You may have a desire to turn away from or shut off the parts of yourself you do not like, but developing a better understanding of those parts and their experiences can be healing.

Welcome! I'm glad you found me. I'm Mae. I work with teens (16+), adults, and couples. My areas of expertise include emotion regulation, coping with trauma, and redeveloping the relationship between mind and body, which is often ruptured as a result of traumatic experiences. As your therapist, I want you to feel comfortable coming to sessions as you are. Every part of you is welcome here; the parts that are hurt, the parts that are furious, the parts that are sad, and even the parts you haven’t spoken to in a while. This space is yours to come as your authentic self.

You might be someone who is thoughtful and self aware, but still find yourself feeling stuck, especially in relationships, intimacy or your sense of self. Even with insight, certain patterns can keep repeating, or you may feel disconnected from your emotions, your body or what you truly need. Many of the people who I support have experienced trauma (childhood, medical, sexual) and are trying to make sense of how those experiences continue to shape their inner world, their bodies and their relationships. I also help individuals and couples navigating intimacy concerns and support a range of different relationship structures.

You may feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns you keep repeating, or reacting in ways that do not fully make sense to you. Maybe anxiety, past experiences, relationship struggles, or emotional burnout are making it hard to feel grounded and connected. I work with adults who want to better understand themselves and create lasting change, not just manage symptoms. Together we will gently explore the deeper roots of what you are carrying so you can feel calmer, more confident, and more in control of your life and relationships.

You’re always the responsible one. The capable one. The one others rely on. But lately, you feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, or relationships that leave you feeling unseen, “too much,” or never truly “enough.” On the outside, you seem fine, but inside, there’s a quiet heaviness that is hard to ignore. Maybe you learned early on that you had to be strong, self-sufficient, or keep your emotions held deep inside. Now those strategies aren’t working the way they once did. You’re starting to wonder if there might be another way to live, but aren’t sure how or where to begin.

As human beings, we encounter many difficult and challenging times in our lives. Taking that very first step into seeking help and healing is by far the hardest to do, however, it also suggests that you may be ready to do the necessary work. It is amazing to witness the ability of individuals to make big or small changes in their lives, all while exploring parts of themselves that they may not have known existed. Hence, I would be honored to be part of this journey and appreciative of each step taken to achieve your goals all while helping you live a better life.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by their thoughts, emotions, or patterns that feel difficult to shift. This may bring up questions about identity, self-understanding, or neurodivergence. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, and related challenges, including overthinking, worry loops, intrusive thoughts, checking patterns, and feeling stuck. You’re welcome to seek support whether or not you have a formal diagnosis. As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I bring understanding of these experiences while supporting people of all identities in building self-understanding and meaningful change.

I support individuals seeking a more positive relationship with themselves and others, to cope with stress and change, and to cultivate lives more congruent to their needs and values.

My approach is informed by clinical experience and also lived experience as a queer and nonbinary person. I approach the challenges you are facing with curiosity and compassion.

We'll find clarity in your struggles and identify barriers to work around them. We will develop healthier coping skills to improve your sense of security. I strive to help you love yourself again and reach full potential.

Life can become heavy and it can feel like a rollercoaster with more downs than ups, but you don't have to carry that pain alone. If you've felt unseen, exhausted, or like you're holding everything together while quietly falling apart, what you're feeling makes complete sense. Past experiences, relationships, and everyday life can leave us feeling stuck and disconnected. Reaching out takes real courage, and every part of you is welcome here, including those painful and avoidant parts. I'm here to support you through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
