Who doesn't want freedom in all aspects of life? I believe that true freedom comes from transformation of self from the inside out. We are not on this planet to struggle, rather to find the courage to let our light shine. If you are feeling stuck in your relationships, career, family, or any other aspect of life perhaps it is time for a change. Life is short.

TELEPHONE SESSIONS AVAILABLE. I can help you gain strength and stability in the midst of societal disruption and uncertainty. By understanding the deeper underpinnings of your own dynamics and those around you, you can sort out complexities. When you gain insight about what drives your anxiety or moods, your sense of possibilities can change profoundly.

I empower individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, shame, low self-esteem & communication issues to find deep, wholehearted contentedness and inner-freedom using a feminist, anti-racist, trauma-informed, gender & sexuality affirming lens. My goal is to help you grow in love with yourself and your people.  You are deserving of your love, and contentment and joy in your relationships is absolutely attainable. If you long for a deeper connection with yourself or your loved ones but feel stuck, unsure of how to find inner-peace due to deep-seated shame, I'm glad you're here.

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Want a better understanding of yourself, your feelings, your relationships? Whether you're seeking support with life stressors or trauma, or are struggling with symptoms of anxiety or depression, together we’ll get to the deeper roots of your difficulties and uncover any stuck patterns or habits. It is possible to heal, develop new skills, and increase resilience so you can navigate the complexity of relationships and feel confident and empowered in your authentic self. I'm here to help you hold your past and present life with compassion, and create a future full of possibility.

In my work I blend neuroscience, trauma-healing and creative therapy with open, inclusive conversation. I specialize in working with care workers, interpersonal conflict, life changes, depression/anxiety, ADHD, creative blocks/personal goals, abusive/neglectful relationships, coming out, gender identity, spiritual/racial/social trauma, and individuals with a history of trauma and/or dissociation. I use humor, compassion, and insight to sit with clients as they express themselves creatively or verbally. I am also an activist, educator, art therapy supervisor, and artist.

My practice is centered around supporting individuals and couples at those tricky life stage transitions, and to support the development of a new rhythm of being, while integrating both their past and present identities as a person, partner, and parent. My approach to therapy is collaborative - where healing occurs within relational contexts. As I walk along side you, I attempt to remain rooted within a trauma informed, systems and attachment-based perspective.

We are all on a journey that often presents itself in different ways for different people; each person’s life is unique. I love connecting with and seeing my clients reach their goals, sometimes that means being in a space of validation and collaboration, sometimes that means I hold you accountable for doing the work required to change to meet your goals. Regardless I will be there for you. It doesn’t matter if it is anxiety, depression, addiction or trauma that is getting in the way, I will help you find a way to a better place.

I am an experienced trauma and wellness therapist who has dedicated my career to exploring integrative approaches to healing trauma and improving health across the lifespan. My approach is influenced by my training in Holistic Health, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Ego-State “parts” work and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I appreciate being a partner in, and witness to, your change. There is no single way to heal, and together we can find your path. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your journey.

I believe therapy can be a space to try on new ways of thinking and being, building insight and self-awareness so you can overcome blocks to creating the life you deeply desire. You can expect me to work hard to understand you and your history, offering an equal mix of nurturing, education and clear sighted perspective. We’ll work together to chart a vision for the road ahead, noting areas for growth, needed skills, and current strengths and resources. In session, and in life, my style is informal, warm, playful and compassionate. I bring a body-positive, sex-positive, feminist and anti-oppressive lens to my work.

I currently offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic integration services. I focus on treating chemical addictions, anxiety disorders, and depressive disorders. I believe that developing a safe and secure relationship with each of my patients is essential for them to learn new ways of thinking and behaving, to find meaning and purpose in their life, and to move towards creating a whole and complete sense of self. My approach to healing is informed by acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, transpersonal psychology, person-centered therapy, & somatic approaches to healing.

Would you like to become more self aware, accept what you are unable to control, and to move toward your self identified values? If so, I can offer this support for you related to various human experiences of grief/loss, relationship dynamics and communication, life transition, exploration of identity and sexuality, and inner discomfort including anxiety and sadness. Accepting new patients for teletherapy in New York, Minnesota, South Carolina, California and New Jersey for individuals and couples therapy.

I work with clients experientially to feel deeply into their own emotions that may be locked away. I seek out glimmers of core emotion in the present moment -- that is where the magic or possibility for change lives. I help clients learn to relate to people in a healthier, more wholesome way -- this may be learning to reach out, or it may mean having a sense of what you need and want so you can get those needs met in your relationships. I work by listening closely and pushing clients know what's going on internally. I tell them what I am feeling and ask clients to be in touch with their bodies and feeling not just their thinking.

It is exhausting living a life where you don't recognize yourself anymore. It feels like walking around with the weight of the world on your shoulders. You may hope this goes away by itself. You may worry that others won't understand. You may feel like you are weak if you ask for help. Life transitions impact your sense of self, relationships, family, and career. I want to help you find your inner strength to take control of who you are and how you want to live your life.
