From the outside, your life looks fine. Inside, you’re exhausted, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change. Maybe you’re a guy who was never really taught how to talk about feelings, a tech professional living mostly in your head, or an LGBTQ+ adult trying to carry old trauma while still showing up for work, relationships, and daily life. You may be coping with chronic pain, burnout, rumination, or the pressure to constantly perform instead of actually feeling connected.

I love working with a variety of people. I have a lot of experience working with: survivors of trauma, neurodivergent/neurospicy brains, parents, therapists, LGBTQIA+ folks, people in poly and open relationships, people in monogamous relationships, and people who are just generally tired of hearing their therapist respond to everything with “mmmmmm…. How does that make you feel?” While I will ask you how things make you feel, (I am still a therapist after all) I am very engaged and proactive as a therapist. I love helping people get somewhere in their life that they didn’t believe they could.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative and creative process that evokes thoughtful reflection and brings out the resilience in you. Resilience is accepting a new reality, even if not ideal. It is my belief that no matter what life hands you, internal resiliency is your birth right and can help you find and restore balance. Even though innate abilities differ among people, a sense of mastery can be cultivated. My therapeutic approach is to help clients restore their sense of confidence and safety in themselves and in the world.

Counseling is not one-size-fits-all. My approach allows clients to share their stories in an open, judgment-free environment, creating a safe and trusting connection. Treatment is designed according to what makes sense to you. Whether you're processing difficult experiences, addressing a specific problem or habit, seeking personal growth, or simply in need of support, I offer both short- and long-term treatment tailored to your unique situation.

I help trauma survivors break free from old, damaging patterns and reconnect with a sense of safety and self-worth. My clients are often high-achievers and perfectionists who feel overwhelmed, stressed, and caught in the cycle of keeping everyone else happy. They’re highly sensitive to conflict and often struggle to feel secure or connected in their relationships. Many have attachment patterns shaped by trauma, leading to feelings of anxiety, disconnection, or even suffocation in relationships.
