Surviving my parents’ messy divorce when I was a teen left me feeling like I didn’t have any outlet for my own feelings of anxiety, sadness, or anger. I found ways to cope that were self-harming for a period of time along with journeying through my own sexual self-discovery. I came to learn that I was nowhere near alone, just like the clients I work with today experience in our counseling relationship. Safe relationships with adults and therapy helped me learn that we all do unusual things to get through hard times, but I could feel even better if I spoke about my pain rather than keeping it inside or taking it out on myself.

Are you feeling stuck or unhappy at home, work or school? Using food to manage stress? Struggling with a relationship? Using experiential techniques beyond basic "talk therapy," I create a safe space helping clients remove the blocks that are keeping them from living a joy-filled life. Many of the approaches I use with clients supported me in my own process of healing from depression and an eating disorder. I now happily share these techniques with my clients. Specializations: Relationship issues, Food issues, Depression, Parenting, Anxiety. Couples therapy (all couples including LGBTQ and polyamorous couples welcome).

There is so much power within each and every one of us. Whether you're going through issues big or small, support is out there to help you unlock the version of yourself that you would like to be. There is no shame in seeking out support; it is an incredibly courageous and brave step towards healing. With the assistance of therapy, we can working towards addressing any issues you are facing or unmet goals you would like to achieve.

Finding our path may mean finding that we are unlike those around us. The family we grew up in, the friends we’ve surrounded ourselves with, may be unable to walk beside us on our journey through life. Hope in new, future experiences may be difficult to grasp. Finding abundance along the way may seem an impossible task. In my work with you, we will explore the path you have chosen, and the time you have spent traveling it. We will talk about what fed you, what surprised you, and what brought you pain. Our exploration will help us understand how your path has shaped you on your journey, and illuminate your way.

We'll explore your mind non-judgmentally to carefully unravel what can feel at times like a knotted mess. Feeling misunderstood is isolating–let's develop a deeper understanding of yourself together, and probably giggle along the way.

This journey of life can sometimes be trying, difficult, and uncomfortable, but I believe that by meeting clients where they are and working together, we can create steps in a journey which will lead to a brighter future. I look forward to working with you to untangle and pull strings from the past, create meaning in the present and make space for healing in the future

My clients are people navigating life transitions, learning to love their bodies, or questioning their gender identity and/or sexual orientation. Our time together might look like healing trauma, reconnecting with family, or using mindfulness exercises to create more bodily awareness. Through this process, I spend time with clients to discover the values and pieces of their identity making them who they are. A big part of my role is empowering these individual pieces so clients can feel whole.

Are you hard on yourself? Do you feel overwhelmed by worry or stress? Or maybe you live with a painful history that you don't quite feel like you've been able to move past? I can help you develop the skills, such as embodied self-compassion, to feel more peaceful and empowered. Developing a kinder, more supportive relationship to yourself can not only help you heal from the past and feel more hopeful about the future, it can also allow you to experience a felt sense of security and fulfillment in the present and to improve your relationships with others. If you'd like support in creating a more satisfying, joyful life, reach out!

Sometimes we do everything right and still end up feeling anxious, depressed, or dissatisfied in our day-to-day lives. This can leave us wondering: What am I doing wrong? What’s missing?

My clients present a spectrum of needs including navigating substance use, relational distress, chronic health issues, and productivity burnout. Often I assist clients interested in exploring impacts of capitalism, social disenfranchisement, and unhelpful narratives that can create negative self-talk, feelings of hopelessness, and existential anxiety. I identify as part of the queer community and work to support LGBTQIA clients in connecting to community, establishing boundaries, and exploring internalized messages that can impact self-esteem, communication skills, and destructive patterns.

I think of the therapeutic relationship as a workshop where clients can plan, tinker, experiment, test, and refine parts of themselves, their relationships, and their lives with my unwavering support. It's a place and time where we can collaborate on what might need to change, what tools are necessary for the task, and on the ways it might begin to unfold. I create and hold a safe place for clients to ponder, practice, and consider change-- especially when they struggle to maintain that space for themselves. As a trauma informed practitioner, I am able to ground and contain intense affect to help clients feel held.
