I view therapy as a space where you can finally take a breath, where all parts of you are welcome. My role is a collaborative one, to support the reconnection to your authentic self and to more deeply understand what really matters to you. I work with adults and teens navigating life transitions, anxiety, trauma, identity questions, and relationship challenges. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and culturally responsive. I honor the many identities and experiences that shape who you are. I believe healing happens when we can tell our stories honestly and be met with compassion instead of judgment.

I am passionate about supporting individuals, families, and couples in growing deeper connections, increasing communication, discovering their inner voices and creating stability in their lives. I work in a style that is warm and leading, compassionate and collaborative. I see my clients as the true experts of their own lives and my role is to provide support, clarity and understanding as they navigate their unique journeys.

Every person has a unique story and can begin to heal when they have the opportunity to share their story. I aim to provide individualized care by considering every client’s unique strengths, identity, culture, and life experience. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, gender identity, intimate partner/nontraditional relationships, interpersonal difficulties, trauma, and phase of life transitions. By forming a strong therapeutic relationship built on respect and trust, clients can safely explore how their beliefs, feelings, and values affect their mental health and overall wellness.

Trauma affects attachment styles and healthy regulation of our Autonomic Nervous System. Awareness of your body's response to trauma are important components of knowing oneself. The therapeutic relationship is a crucible for change. Traumatic stress can disconnect us from self, community and the earth. I am here to walk with you and support you toward health and well-being.

I believe that therapy inspires change by supporting self-awareness, insight, and growth which then impacts and improves one's life. With new insight, clients become aware of better strategies and new solutions when responding to challenges in their life. Goals of therapy can include changing behaviors that are holding you back, healing pain from your past, managing depression and anxiety, building relationship skills, and handling strong emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, and grief, to name just a few.

I believe therapy is a healing experience that ripples out into your life, incorporating your past, present, and future.

My training includes masters degrees in public health and counseling, with 5 years experience teaching yoga nidra, meditation, and somatic healing to individuals and groups.

Right now, your relationship is eggshells and, “You don’t get me at all.” Inside, the anxiety spirals: “If I ask for what I need, will they leave me?” “Why is this harder for me than everyone else?” “Am I the problem?” You’re not broken. You’re patterned, and patterns can change. This space is built to do just that. Whether you come solo, partnered, or as a polycule, we interrupt your loops. We name the real thing under the thing. You learn to say hard truths without blowing up your life. You stop shrinking to stay safe. You get that first-date feeling back. But this time, they choose you for you. No pretending. No performing. You.
