In-person availability! If you are struggling in your life with symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, conflict, grief and loss, stress or PTSD or you’re burnt out at work, We can partner to help you figure out a way to honor your true nature, effectively communicate, gain clarity and the skills you need to thrive in your life. We all have the ability to change, learn and grow. We are not born with skills, throughout our life we gain many coping mechanisms, but some of those are born out of survival, fear or toxic family dynamics and might make it challenging to navigate in relationships or during life’s transitions.

I work toward helping to increase your tolerance for what may seem to be overwhelming by creating a trusting therapeutic relationship in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I believe that establishing a trusting relationship is foundation to provide you with strengths to look inward, recognize patterns of your thinking processes, and explore quality of relationship(s) that you have with yourself as well as with others.

I specialize in working with youth (ages 12+) and young adults. I have experience with trauma (including cPTSD), anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity formation. My style is warm, humanistic, and collaborative, and I believe in humor as a great tool for healing and connection.

As an example, I'm trained in therapeutically-applied roleplaying games (like Dungeons & Dragons).

Have you ever been told or wondered if you're "too sensitive" or "too emotional?" As if this is a shameful thing? I'll take a wild guess and say that hearing this probably doesn't help in feeling "less" emotional. This can be such a bind – maybe intense emotions/behaviors make things harder. However, a sense of acceptance, whether it comes from within or from loved ones, can profoundly support in feeling understood, safe, and resilient. And these more subtle feelings can absolutely assist in the pursuit of making necessary changes in emotional expression & related behaviors, impact on relationships, and presence day-to-day.

Have you been stressed, depressed, or anxious recently? Do our systems leave you angry at best and empty at worst? I am here to support you as we navigate through a society that emphasizes profits over people, and devalues and degrades so many of us. I focus strongly on social justice and how the lack thereof impacts our mental health. You deserve a space to share your emotions and values and find meaningful solutions. I am casual, laid-back, empathetic, neuro-divergent and candid and I welcome and embrace all.

I have a lot of experience in working with conflict between children and adolescents and their parents. I believe in the importance of helping people to understand the roots of their behaviors. I combine therapeutic styles based on what my clients want and need.
