I believe that it is really important for a person to feel that someone truly hears and understands them. My approach is to create a space where you can feel safe, valued, and understood. From that place, we work together at helping you explore the life you want to live, including understanding and changing the obstacles that are getting in the way of your sense of self fulfillment and relatedness to others and the world.

Now accepting new moms/post partum clients for daytime, TeleHealth appointments.
Starting therapy can be tough. At Perennial Growth Counseling, I believe the working relationship is the key to helping people feel better and begin to make changes in their lives. Maybe you are going through a major life transition (had a baby, lost a job, lost a spouse) and need some support. Or you've been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety for far too long and want some new perspective and a place to reflect. Have you experienced some traumatic events in your life that are keeping you stuck? Therapy can help.

Therapy is a safe space to explore your life and find empathy for yourself. I am passionate about supporting my clients in their journey to discovering their best selves. Finding your best self can look like healing your past trauma, building your confidence, discovering parts of yourself you never knew, or finding new ways to connect with others. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I strive to create an inclusive space for people from all walks of life. My previous work experience has prepared me to support a wide variety of clients, including those with extensive trauma histories.

Navigating life's existential questions can be hard. Why do I feel so empty? Do I matter? What's it all mean? What shall I do with my life? A philosopher can guide you through these issues in a way that most psychologists can't. So let me help! Free initial consultations and reasonable rates.

Life can be full of surprises, not all of them happy. There may be times when, quite out of the blue, you feel anxious, depressed, or just plain stuck. Even in the midst of personal, financial and professional success, you might still find you are struggling emotionally, interiorly questioning, wondering whether all the energy and time you have put into your life is really paying off. Often, you may not know what exactly is troubling you and yet feel quite certain that something is not quite right inside. When it feels this way, therapy can help.

It is not my place to tell you how to feel or how to be in response to life; your experiences, desires, and goals are your own. It is my job to work on understanding, as best I can, what you envision for your life and assist you in bringing it into the world. Sometimes this work can be focused on a particular area or issue, while other times it can feel harder to pin-down the exact cause. We start where you are and then collaborate on finding a way forward together.

Whether you're a newcomer, or you've searched high and low for a therapist or counselor to help you through your struggles, I invite you to consider how I might be able to help. Perhaps you are struggling with a chronic mental health condition; perhaps you have experienced a significant stressor or trauma and need help processing it all. You may want insight on how to decrease your suffering, or how to overcome a challenge. Perhaps the intersection of belief and identity is a concern of yours. If any of this sounds like what you're experiencing, I am glad you found your way here.

My clinical focus is helping clients increase confidence, feel more fulfilled, and create satisfying relationships. I believe people have the inner power to heal and to grow; I can provide empathy and guidance for those who are struggling with this process. My approach to psychotherapy is an integration of CBT, DBT, mindfulness & expressive techniques (i.e., art, writing, yoga) within a trauma-focused model. More simply said, I assist clients in understanding how their relational experiences and perceptions impact their emotions and their stories of their lives, & how to change any aspect that is impeding satisfaction and connection

It's hard to navigate a world that was built against your needs. My experiences as a queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent adoptee of color have informed my abolitionist practice in solidarity with those affected by interlocking systems of oppression: queer- and transphobia, ableism, racism, White supremacy, fatphobia, xenophobia, capitalism, classism, adoption, etc. I aim to help members of my community deconstruct the complex trauma inherent to such oppression, and explore what constitutes wellbeing amidst difficult material conditions.

As a therapist with eleven years of experience I believe therapy provides a safe space through which client and therapist work collaboratively to explore and integrate meaning from one's life experiences. Through increased awareness of one's own narrative, clients gain greater freedom to make choices around how they live in the world. This insight allows individuals a greater sense of well-being, a more defined sense of purpose, and increased internal resources for responding to life's challenges. Incorporating canine animal-assisted therapy allows for clients to have additional support as they work to achieve their goals.
