Therapy can be a helpful way to work through those parts of life where we feel alone, held back, powerless, in pain, or silenced.

I believe in working with you to develop goals, and approaches to those goals, that fit your life. Through deepening understanding and facilitating emotional processing, my intention is to help you thrive in your life with self-compassion, flexibility, and confidence.

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.

You may not have a coherent formulation of what you seek (especially for those new to therapy); part of my job is to help you reach those insights and feel hope or excitement for the change to come. If you're reticent, I welcome you to a commitment-free chat to get a better sense of the process. If you're ready and want to make a change, now is the time. My door is always open.

Reaching out for help & starting (or continuing) your healing journey is a big step. So first, I just wanted to say that I am proud of you for showing up for yourself! Whether you have a specific concern you want to discuss, a personal goal you want to work towards, or you are simply just feeling “off” – I would love the opportunity to work with you. In my practice, I strive to offer a safe, welcoming & non-judgmental space. I believe that each person is the expert of their own life and no two experiences are ever the same. I approach every interaction with curiosity and compassion, allowing my clients the space to tell their story.

I work with individual adult clients who are interested in exploring new ways to understand and meet the challenges in their lives. My approach is psychodynamic: meeting weekly, through in-depth dicussion in a supportive relationship, we focus on better understanding patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, both conscious and unconscious. We consider early life experiences and how they have shaped your sense of self and ways of relating to others. I see therapy as a mutual effort, between therapist and client, to better understand someone’s anxieties and struggles, and to support them in figuring out what they want.
