I’m a therapist who believes that real healing happens in a safe, authentic relationship. My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for your unique story. I draw from person-centered, feminist, and Internal Family Systems approaches to help you better understand yourself and the world around you. As a queer, transgender therapist, I bring both professional training and lived experience into the room, especially when working with LGBTQIA+ clients. I love helping people untangle the expectations and systems that may be holding them back so they can move toward a more authentic, fulfilling life.

Have you felt utterly alone despite being surrounded by others? Have you felt misunderstood by those close to you? Have you felt despair; trapped as a prisoner of your own mind? Psychotherapy focuses on symptom reduction and management and psychoanalysis targets the root of the symptom. Being able to integrate both of my credentials enables me to provide you with a comprehensive treatment that, along with providing a warm, encouraging and unbiased environment to promote self esteem and feelings of self worth, will lead you on the path to living a more serene, enriched and fulfilled life.

We all deserve the opportunity to grow and change throughout our lives. Yet, there are many obstacles that interfere with our ability to enhance our lives and relationships. My therapeutic style is to work with a person's unique qualities and life issues and assist them in discovering ways to improve their overall quality of life. In individual counseling my approach is to provide a safe environment where I not only support and encourage you but also help you to challenge yourself, so that you may grow and make these positive changes.

I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated for change but who might not know how to take the first steps. As an interactive therapist, I see myself as a facilitator in your therapy as you work toward improving aspects of your life that you feel no longer work for you. Trained as a relational psychologist, I emphasize the importance of early relationships and how they impact one's daily functioning. I value the importance of the here and now as well as the future while helping individuals realize their maximum potential for happiness.

Every life is a story; past and present events that are not coupled with emotional resolution can stay stuck in the mind in a negative way. The focus of my practice is the "silent suffering", those whose lives look fine on paper and appear good to the outside world, but inside, something feels off, empty, or lonely; clients carry a significant level of discomfort with their own emotional landscape. This discomfort can show up in anxiety, depression, ADD or OCD related behaviors. Clients can self-medicate with alcohol, food, shopping or infidelity. Whatever the habit, there is a shame component.

I am an innovative, accomplished, well-rounded, seasoned therapist and coach with 16 years of practice. I've worked with all age groups and feel comfortable working with challenging issues. In session we can: fix or resolve, reduce stress, get clarity, recover, learn to regulate emotions, sort through life plans, stop worrying or ruminating, heal emotional wounds, eliminate symptoms, discuss root issues, unpack truths, explore existential meaning, or get support. My clients discover why things are how they are, and obtain tools and methods for change. They trust the process of therapy and they trust me to help.

You are exhausted from arguing with your own brain. Traditional talk therapy hasn’t worked, the intrusive thoughts are getting louder, and the cycle of anxiety and compulsions is making your world feel smaller every day. Whether you are dealing with contamination fears, relationship OCD, "taboo" intrusive thoughts, or the rigid perfectionism of OCPD, you do not have to live like this forever.

Do you feel constantly on edge - like your body won’t relax and your mind won’t shut off? Maybe you’re stuck in intrusive thoughts, worst-case scenarios, or panic about your health. You may feel easily triggered, reacting more intensely than you want to. Panic attacks, OCD, postpartum anxiety, & chronic worry are often fueled by stress stored in the nervous system - sometimes shaped by past trauma or abuse, sometimes by the ongoing pressure of a turbulent world. You may have tried talk therapy and gained insight, yet still feel like you’re not getting to the root. That’s because understanding a story isn’t the same as resolving it.

I see adults of all ages, seeking help in dealing with issues such as depression and difficulties in relationships. My style is active, interactive, nonjudgmental, warm, and empathetic, with a sense of humor. Mood and relational problems are sometimes related to ways that people have reacted and adapted to past traumatic experiences, which may also become a focus of therapy.
