More than anything, you want to save your relationship. You want to start 2023 on a better note andd just want to be able to talk to each other without it turning into a fight every time. You feel disconnected from each other. You feel like you and your partner can’t even talk about simple stuff because you always disagree. Or worse yet, you’ve stopped listening to each other, or maybe even stopped caring. You feel like you and your partner are just roommates, instead of soulmates. You feel like it’s easier to just avoid each other, than run the risk of another hurtful argument. You wish you and your partner could just communicate.

Do you have trauma, anxiety or depression and feel ready to work on yourself?

Narcissistic abuse and emotional abuse can leave us feeling confused, hurt, and desperate for answers. You might have thought you found your soulmate, but instead you find yourself in a very complicated relationship. You may feel alone and isolated, blaming yourself for how badly the relationship is going. Instead of being in this amazing relationship you thought you had signed up for, you are now studying everything you can about narcissism and narcissistic abuse. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to leave this person but you don’t know how. You know deep down that it is time to do something different.

Life looks very different these days and can feel overwhelming. Are you feeling anxious about relationships, work, or just getting back to "normal" living?

I have been in practice for over 20 years working with youth, adults and families and helping them with their various life transitions.

Has your life suffered because of trauma you have experienced? I work with individuals, couples, and families to overcome their challenges related to abuse and trauma as well as anxiety, depression, and interpersonal issues. I have worked with survivors of sexual trauma and domestic violence, the LGBT community and unique concerns within that community, and individuals who struggle with co-occurring mental illness and substance use. I'm also familiar with the struggles you may have in managing a chronic illness, such as ehlers danlos syndrome. I value the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental space to work on yourself.

This has been a very difficult season physically, emotionally, and spiritually for so many. You may have been pushed to levels of stress, anxiety, or depression that you didn't think was possible. Maybe you have felt so overwhelmed by your feelings or situation that you're unsure what to do next, but what you do know is that it's impacting your relationships with others and you want that to change. Sometimes you may wonder "why am I acting like this? I wish I could feel more calm." I work with many women who have so much on their plates. Wearing all these hats can feel burdensome and sometimes cause you lose connection to yourself

I believe incorporating culture into my work, and continue to explore and learn from cultures other than my own in order to provide the best quality services to my clients.

Not your daddy’s therapist - $175 per 50min session. If you are looking for a therapist just like every other, then keep looking. I am holistic, young, experimental, polyamorous, extremely open-minded, spiritual, transpersonal, weird, awkward, provocative, quirky, heteroflexible, and a sparkle of queer. My life work focuses on the deconstruction of social norms including gender, masculinity/femininity, relationships, sexuality, professionalism, and mental health as a whole. Therapy is not a one size fits all kind of gig. I customize the way I work to match the needs, strengths, and limitations of each individual client.

Are you in a "caterpillar stage" of life? You sense that you could be more, but you find yourself limited by negative thoughts and/or overwhelming emotions. Or are you in a "chrysalis stage"? Your whole life seems to have disintegrated into nothing recognizable, and you are struggling to make sense of it all. From a foundation of empathy, acceptance, compassion, and respect, I provide a safe and supportive environment in which to grow and/or heal. I work from a "client-centered" approach that helps you find your own answers and healing from within.
