Have you found yourself spiraling lately in anxieties, doubts, &/or regret?: "I'm worried that things won't work out," "I feel overwhelmed," "Why do I sometimes avoid doing things that I know are good & healthy for me?" "I can't seem to find the motivation to do much of anything these days," "I'm tired," "There must be something wrong with me," "Will I ever be able to change & improve my situation?" "Can talking to a professional actually help?" Feeling stuck in these loops of anxieties & doubts can often feel exhausting, discouraging, & isolating.

My approach to working with clients starts with treating people with respect, professionalism, and compassion. I come from a clinical background of work in community mental health clinics, private counseling centers, and college counseling settings. I work with adult individuals experiencing a variety of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, "personality disorders", PTSD, complex trauma, relational and anger problems, marital distress, and more. I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield only, and for people wishing not to use insurance, I offer a sliding fee scale if needed. For military and families, I am an giveanhour.org provider. I no longer accept Medicare insurances.

Need to talk to someone unbiased who will challenge, support and not pacify you? If so, I am the clinician for you. My mantra is: "it doesn't matter where your journey begins; only where it ends and what you pass and pick up along the way." For the past fourteen years I have served the "working well" (i.e...individuals like you facing every day struggles) and individuals in the criminal justice system. Both populations faced difficulty with adjustment, depression, anxiety, loss, relationships, anger, substance use, parenting and major mental illness. However, the major difference between them are the resources available to cope.

***I am not currently accepting new clients*** Struggling with life transitions, creative ruts, and relationships are difficult in any situation but especially so if you do not follow the heteronormative path. It can be difficult to open up to someone when you are not certain that they understand Queer and Alternative relationship structures. I use an individualized approach with each client to build a therapeutic relationship based on specific goals. I focus my work around issues regarding LGBTQ+, sexuality, non-binary and transgender, complex relationships, power dynamics, sexual health, BDSM/Kink, and other dynamics.

Everyone needs support at some point. I strive to help people find strength during difficult times - to keep going, build supports, and focus on finding solutions. I can help identify ways to find more energy and appreciation in your life, and increase insight into sources of distress. Together we can work to identify your natural supports and improve on your strengths, as well as build coping skills and healthy ways to process difficult feelings.

Accepting help is an incredibly brave step. If you are feeling as though something in your life needs to change and don't know where to begin, therapy is the best space to figure it out. This is an opportunity to prioritize your needs in order to heal and grow. Let me help guide you through this endeavor. My practice welcomes adult clients (18+) from all walks of life.

I am currently taking referrals for a waitlist which may be 6 months or longer. If you would like to be added to the waitlist please send me an email. I recognize that individuals seek mental health counseling for a variety of reasons. Thus, it is my mission to provide individualized treatment to help you meet your mental health goals. From daily stressors associated with social injustice and COVID to managing chronic and persistent mental illness, I look forward to joining you on your journey to your optimal mental health.
