Life brings both highs and lows, and during the harder seasons it can be difficult to ask for help. My ideal clients may be navigating stress, grief, identity challenges, or feeling “stuck” in cycles that no longer serve them. They want clarity, emotional relief, and a more fulfilling way of living. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to help you tap into your strengths, uncover your passions, and create a life that feels authentic and meaningful. Together, we can work toward the balance, purpose, and personal growth you’re seeking.

**At this time I am not taking new clients.** Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I provide treatment for adults who are experiencing overwhelming emotions, a sense of feeling lost or stuck, or simply trying to learn more about their true self. I am interested in hearing your story. Together we can explore and discover your emotions at a deeper level, which will ultimately allow you to form more meaningful, loving relationships. Working collaboratively, in a non-judging atmosphere, we will build awareness of patterns that may be blocking you from reaching your full potential.

When we are able to shed feelings of shame and be vulnerable, we are able to dream, to embrace change as possible and then practice it. When we become aware of and in tune with our emotions—one of the many things that institutional injustices make more difficult—we learn about ourselves, our capacities, and our needs. We can then set boundaries and improve our relationships. We are then able to help ourselves with clear intent and invite our communities to support us. Areas of practice include depression, anxiety, attachment wounds, non-monogamy, relationship issues, sexuality and gender identities & issues, HIV, and self-worth.

I work with people who want to make changes that are rooted in parts of us that may not have been heard in a long time or maybe have never been heard before. I appreciate someone who will show up even when it is difficult to do so and understands that psychotherapy is a process. I recognize how this work is emotionally painful at times, and your commitment will allow me to help you work with feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, low self-worth, sensory issues, or maybe you are struggling with feelings and behaviors of addiction.

I enjoy working with teens and adults, especially those struggling to navigate some of the tougher moments of life. I have a lot of experience working with folks on emotional management - especially anger and anxiety - as well as exploring relationships and their impact on a person's life. I seek to help people find the best way forward and to overcome the stumbling blocks on their way. As a therapist, I also try to help challenge people's thoughts and help them gain new perspectives on the issues they're facing.

As your therapist, I’ll walk alongside you in cultivating self-compassion, curiosity, and the courage to face life’s challenges. No two people are alike, so our work will be collaborative and tailored to your needs, history, and goals. My style is warm, grounded, and authentic, creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I draw from trauma-informed, feminist, humanistic, psychoanalytic, relational, and existential perspectives to explore both the deeper roots of struggle and the possibilities for growth—with openness, curiosity, and meaningful, lasting change at the center.

You don’t have to keep holding it all together alone. Whether you’re navigating burnout, relationship patterns that won’t budge, or the emotional impact of neurodivergence, therapy offers a space to slow down and listen to the parts of you that are often overlooked. I work with people who appear "fine" on the surface but feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who they’re allowed to be. Our work together will help you make sense of those inner dynamics, how they formed, what they’re protecting, and move toward more honest, resilient connection with yourself and others.

It isn't always easy to manage the many parts of our lives. Sometimes situations, fears, beliefs, and unmet needs make the goals of being content and happy seem hard to reach. While we do the best we can, that doesn't always seem to be enough. Could how you do "the best you can" use a little adjusting? When things need to change, it can help to talk with a trained professional to sort things out. In most cases, there are options that have been overlooked. I can support you on your journey to a healthier and happier you.

I enjoy working with people struggling with stress and anxiety from the pressures of life whether that be related to relationships, academics, career, or leadership dynamics. The people I work with are looking for deep understanding of what is bothering them and the tools for lasting change. I often work with people who have been successful in life despite early trauma or disadvantaged backgrounds. I hold various leadership positions and understand the pressures and lonliness that comes with leadership. I also offer leadership advising and coaching to CEO’s and leaders in medicine, law, family businesses, and nonprofits.

Reaching out for support can be a vulnerable step, so I approach our work with care, honesty, and respect for your experience. My aim is to build an authentic, collaborative relationship where you feel safe to explore both what is troubling you now and what feels unresolved beneath the surface. I practice from an existential–integrative framework, drawing from psychodynamic, emotion-focused, and experiential traditions. Alongside our focus on the treatment of your symptoms, we will venture into an exploration of questions of meaning, identity, and connection—along with the barriers that may be keeping you from living fully.

Life can feel really hard sometimes—especially when you're dealing with sadness, anxiety, past pain, or trying to stay strong in recovery. Maybe you've been through something traumatic. Maybe you're turning to unhealthy ways to cope. Or maybe you're just tired of trying to hold it all together on your own.

Choosing a therapist is is hard, especially from a website. I hope these statements are helpful to you in making that decision. In general, I think of most issues as combinations of individual, biological, and environmental factors interacting in ways that cause problems in several aspects of our lives (work, relationships, health, etc.). Our work together includes attention to those interactions, figuring out how to intervene when they cause difficulties, deciding whether our interventions work, and adapting them to make them better. Our basic tools: developing therapeutic trust and maintaining treatment goals.
