What stories are playing on a loop in your mind? Which stories are starting to impact your connections, your life satisfaction, or your world? I believe that problems feel more solvable when we shift the stories we tell. In individual or relational therapy with me, you can expect to be met in the messiness of your stories with radical care as I work with you to reauthor and retell your stories, finding the power cisheteronormativity & capitalism have stolen. I use my role as a therapist to be an audience and at times an editor of your stories, moving you closer to wellness narratives that help you resist forces that limit your joy.

Right now you may be dealing with Constant Worry, Difficult Relationships or Social Anxiety. Sometimes it's just hard to turn off your thinking, anxious about challenging tasks or too much to do. Sometimes you may not even know exactly why it is that you’re anxious! It could be that you have perfectionistic standards, the belief that you must do everything right. Self-blame, procrastinating or 'second-guessing' yourself. Maybe you fall into the Comparison Trap. You pour over social media, feeling inadequate compared to smiling people with perfect lives. I have also noticed a significant rise in Social Anxiety and loneliness.

We all have our own unique stories. Within them lie challenges and obstacles to work with. I liken it to each of us being in the middle of a tornado; in the middle, we can't see clearly everything that's zipping chaotically around us; we just know we're in the thick of it. Therapy helps us be able to step back from the tornado, so that we can see what's actually going on around us. If you are here, then you desire some type of shift in the way life has been operating with you. You might have a clear understanding of the blockage, or you may not yet. Wherever you are in your journey, we will meet where you are and move forward.

Many people experience times when they feel stuck in some important aspect of their lives, and want to find a way to move forward that is true to who they are and to the values that matter to them. Issues in relationships, at work or family or friendspast trauma, stresses, clarity
