I enjoy working with children and families who need help processing through parent-child dynamics, depression, anxiety, behavior, parenting and attachment challenges, self-esteem, peer/school relationships and trauma experiences. When working with families, my goal is to develop a collaborative approach in my therapy sessions. This will look like parents/caregivers having a vital role in the process and being involved in sessions. We will work together to find solutions to help your family work through obstacles and barriers faced on a day to day basis.

I strive to provide a safe, supportive space for you to feel seen and heard. I believe that gaining insight and approaching oneself with compassion allows for healing. While exploring emotions and relational patterns, I integrate information about current neuro-research that helps make sense of different reactions and/or stuck patterns. Together, we will work through unresolved issues, process them, and begin to move forward.

I believe that every person, no matter their age, deserves to have a space where they are unconditionally accepted. I work with children (ages 2 and up), teens, young adults and families to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for my clients to come as they are and untangle life’s complexities. I hold extensive experience working with Autism, ADHD, adoption and foster care, trauma and attachment challenges. I work to provide a safe, culturally responsive space for individuals and families, am social and racial justice oriented and LGBTQIA+ affirming. Additionally, I hold space for individuals of all abilities and identities.

I specialize in working with young children, adults, and parents struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, healthy eating, life transitions, emotional regulation, and parenting concerns. My focus is to first build trust and relationship, establishing a safe space where clients can feel comfortable being vulnerable and voicing experiences. Sessions with me feel like a conversation where you are seen and heard, tailoring the approach to best fit your needs. Client’s can expect lots of humor, transparency, honesty, and compassion.

My ideal clients are adolescents, young adults, adults and couples, who are dealing with issues associated with shifting life roles, exploration of identity, anxiety and/or depression, difficulty with relationships, caregiver stress, grief and loss, seeking more meaning and purpose to their life, and/or seeking healing from inner wounds and trauma. I enjoy working with individuals seeking creative ways to explore what is holding them back from leading a fuller life. Through a combination of dialogue, music, and art, we will collaboratively uncover new areas of awareness that lead to positive shifts in their life.

I am a master's level clinician who works with individuals from early childhood to adulthood. My goal is to create a space where individuals can feel heard, supported, and safe being their authentic selves. I believe that individuals are the experts in their own healing process and my role as a therapist is to help restore a sense of hope, guide individuals in realizing and cultivating their unique strengths, and offer them tools to process through challenging emotions. With clients who are interested, I enjoy incorporating mindfulness practices in session.

I specialize in working with the LGBT+ community, people who identify as neurodivergent, those with trauma and relationship issues (queer, ENM, Kink etc. I don't work with CIS, straight couples). I have a passion for supporting trans identifying clients as they advocate for their needs within the medical system, supporting clients navigating open relationships, and supporting parents who are navigating the needs of their neurodivergent children. I practice from a sex positive, health at every size, harm reduction lens. I ask my clients to show up as their authentic self and my clients can expect the same from me.

Keeping anxiety under wraps is exhausting. Everyday stressors flash panic and fear and your body is feeling the brunt of all the stress. You’re ready to turn down that pent up noise so you can live a richer more meaningful life with purpose and ease, but you're not sure what will help. Traditional talk therapy has only gotten you so far.

One of the most important relationships you can work on is the relationship you have with yourself. Can you envision a life where you give yourself more grace, are more fulfilled in your relationships, and that aligns more closely with your deepest values? Are you ready to recognize and overcome the thoughts, patterns, and relationships that no longer serve you? I enjoy helping clients navigate the complexities of work, life, and relationship issues and deconstructing the barriers that are holding them back from achieving their deepest dreams and goals.

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and enjoy working with families, couples, individuals, children, teens, and adults across the lifespan. I'm dedicated to helping my clients and families find, develop, and care for the hidden, underdeveloped, and wounded parts of themselves so they can live authentic lives rather than existing in the shadows. We discover ways to bring their lives into alignment with who they really are and strengthen their most meaningful relationships. I develop trusting relationships with my clients and seek to understand and respect all people within their family, community, and culture contexts.

As a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC), my passion lies in guiding individuals toward self-discovery and healing. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I aim to create a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Drawing from evidence-based practices such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I work collaboratively with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. Together, we can embark on a journey of growth, insight, and transformation.

Navigating the modern world's stresses can be overwhelming. It's common to seek escape from difficult emotions and thoughts and to disconnect from oneself. My aim is to help clients feel their emotions, allow them to pass, and liberate their minds from destructive thinking patterns. In my sessions with clients, I pull from a variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and other trauma-informed modalities.

As a mental health professional, I strive to create a safe and secure space that is free of judgement in order to facilitate exploration and inner healing. I believe establishing a therapeutic relationship based on trust, care and acceptance is so important. From my own journey with mental health, I understand how exhausting and frustrating it can be to get the help you need within the traditional mental health system. I want you to know that you are not alone.
