I am a compassionate, irreverent, strengths-based therapist. I enjoy helping teenagers, adults, and partnerships deepen their relationships with themselves. I think of therapy as a laboratory for discerning and developing life change. By considering therapy, I believe that you already possess the innate capacity and bravery to pursue this change so that you can live your life to the fullest. I draw upon psychodynamic, narrative, transfeminist, and other liberatory approaches in my work with clients.

By the time you make the call for counseling, Life has taken a toll in some serious regard. Brokenness has come upon you in relationship, in spirit, in feeling overwhelmed by challenges. In a serendipitous manner, we come together, as you seek healing and I, as your counselor, strive to be a help and an encourager into a new and brighter day. It is a deep honor and privilege for me to embrace the broken soul and to be trusted to join in the journey from being lost, stuck, or in pain into the possibility of wellness and joy.

After someone you love dies the world changes. You may even wonder how you will continue to live on carrying your grief that can be so heavy. Finding space to make sense of complex feelings such as love, regret, anger and sadness can be a difficult task. Grieving can feel so painful and so lonely. It can also feel messy or too quiet. Grief is a deeply personal experience that is also meant to be shared, so that you may find a path forward on your healing journey.

We all have that voice in our heads saying we are not good enough, not attractive enough, not capable, or somehow inferior. A lifetime of living in a normative culture that dismisses or marginalizes our identities and individuality has led a lot of us to feel uncertain, frightened, anxious, depressed, or struggling with other mental health issues.I am a gender affirming queer positive therapist with a lifelong commitment to social justice that includes advocating for access to mental health care for all.

Doing the inner work doesn't have to be an isolated journey. I honor the vital relationship between client and therapist and recognize the privilege of being invited into your story. With a curious and non-judgmental stance, I welcome clients from all backgrounds. I believe that laughter is an essential element of the therapeutic process. Most importantly, I am here to listen.

It can be challenging to get started looking for a therapist. Meeting with someone who is unknown to you, to share your most intimate fears, memories and concerns, is not something that most people rush toward. However, life is full of difficulties and often our lives reach a point, where it may be helpful to work through conflicts with someone, who can help make sense of it all. Meeting with a therapist who has worked with clients from many walks of life and who can understand, relate to and establish a comfortable connection with, is important.

Society often tells us that we need to look, sound, act, or feel a certain way to fit in, to matter. I firmly believe that every individual needs to be seen, heard, and loved for who they are, regardless of their thoughts, actions, behaviors, or achievements. Your perspective is your truth, and you don't have to fit someone else's mold. I want to work with you to fit together all of the pieces that make up you, and expose the uniquely beautiful pattern that only you can create in this world.

We often feel that we are simply surviving, as opposed to living our full lives to our greatest potential. Clients come to me when a major shift or catastrophe has taken place in their lives. Whether this is the loss of a loved one, or any loss in general, I will provide a safe harbor where we can go to the depths of the soul and fully contemplate the meaning. The goal is to ultimately arrive at a place of acceptance. In learning how to live through these changes and then build anew is my specialty. I help guide you in an existential framework, in which we seek to find your soul's purpose.

You've heard of the Sunday scaries? What do you do if you have them all week? What if you spin with anxiety and worry about finding a path forward that allows for you to have BOTH fulfillment and real income? What if you dread going to work, but you've gotta pay the bills? You probably second-guess every decision you've made about your career, going so far back that you question your major in college.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
