My clients are mostly creative; artists, designers, musicians, as well as clients who identify as
LGBTQIA
.
I work with clients who are looking to deepen their awareness of the way in which they move through the world. These clients generally report feeling "stuck" in their careers or personal lives. By working together in a non-judgemental and collaborative environment, you will continue to develop this awareness, therefore experiencing more meaningful interactions. Sometimes this is obtained through therapy, and sometimes it means discussing medication options for depression and/or anxiety. This can provide a huge relief and make space for great work to happen.

You’re looking for someone who is integrative and evidence-based, but who can also think outside the box. You really think about life and your place in it, and sometimes anxiety, distraction, lethargy, or sadness get the best of you. Right now may be a tough moment, or it may just feel like things could be better, and you’re ready to explore how.

We all walk a different path, but human emotion is universal. Sometimes our emotions become overwhelming and we feel buried by them, paralyzed. I know this because I've been down those roads and I've come out the other side. My formal training makes me qualified to provide treatment, but my life experiences make me capable of providing care. As a member of the
LGBTQ
community, nonjudgement is my top priority. I offer a genuinely safe space for ALL.
