NOTE: I will be accepting new clients starting August 24. Until then, I can put you on a wait-list. Counseling is the process that evokes change through vulnerability, connection, openness, trust, and bringing your inner world into the light. Discovering your purpose, meaning, dysfunctional patterns of behavior and thoughts can alleviate the weight you are carrying around. I enjoy working with people who are dealing with relationship issues (of all kinds!), anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, attachment, depression, trauma, codependency, and negative self-talk. Also, if you are neurodivergent, this is the place for you :)

Therapy that affirms every part of who you are - queer, neurodivergent, non-monogamous, kinky, and beyond.
Queer-affirming, neurodivergent-aware, and kink-positive therapy for individuals, couples, and polycules. You deserve therapy that celebrates every part of who you are - not one that asks you to mask or minimize it.

Life can be beautiful and it can be overwhelming at times. Transitions in life can rock our confidence, sense of meaning, and relationships. If you have a hard time communicating with others, difficulty getting and staying organized, or get stuck in self destructive patterns, let's talk. If you worry about things more than you wish you would, or feel overwhelmed by your compassion and empathy, let's talk . Together we can deepen your understanding of self, navigate acceptance and change, and cultivate some ways to find more balance in your heart and mind, more freedom from guilt and shame, and more trust in your inner wisdom.

Crashing out? Feeling out of control and at the mercy of avoiding your triggers- or just avoiding most of life in general? Seeing no results and getting more triggered by talking and ranting about it? Still want to address your triggers and your trauma ASAP? Ready to take the next step past awareness for change? Email me. Clients that seek me out tend to be adult, neurodivergent, workaholic femmes from immigrant families, financially successful but struggling with relationships, anxiety, and trauma. Results come from YOUR process, interpretation and YOUR goals as a result of EMDR.

You may be dealing with trauma and PTSD, depression, suicidal thoughts, addiction, or a sense that the strategies that once worked may no longer be effective and require adjustment. You value responsibility and independence, but carrying everything alone has become costly. You want clarity, emotional control, and a way forward that fits your values—not platitudes, labels, or ideology. You are willing to engage honestly and do the work needed to improve your life.

Our work together is a collaboration to reach goals that are in alignment with what brings you peace and joy. I emphasize respect, kindness, and authenticity in order to highlight the balance I believe is needed in developing meaningful relationships. One of my great curiosities in therapy is to learn what those terms mean to my clients and how their presence has shaped who they are.

Our existence in this world comes with hopes, aspirations and dreams. It also comes with disappointments, challenges and hardships which can overshadow our light and purpose. These obstacles on our path to our most authentic self may have been passed down to us from our family or an injustice burdened onto us as along the way. Somewhere, amongst all of these parts of ourselves, there is hope and a belief that we can be at peace with our past and artfully manage our present so that we can fully embrace the future we deserve.

Welcome! Having weathered many storms myself, I feel stronger for it. Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's storms—such as anxiety, PTSD, grief, or depression? Storms are powerful symbols of life’s challenges, setbacks, and obstacles. It's natural to want to avoid them, both in nature and in our lives. But sometimes, taking a small step, like asking for help, can make a difference. Remember, even in the fiercest storm, there's a chance for growth and transformation.

You’re tired of the same relationship patterns showing up again and again. You overthink texts, replay conversations at 2 a.m., wonder if you’re enough, and notice how connection can feel more triggering than comforting. Part of you wants closeness, and part of you is bracing for disappointment.
Maybe you’re noticing that this didn’t start in adulthood. Early relationships may have felt inconsistent, distant, critical, or unpredictable. You did what you needed to survive —over-giving, staying hyper-aware, relying on yourself, or shutting down. Those strategies kept you safe then, but now they leave you anxious, guarded & exhausted.

My passion is co-creating a safe space with my clients, where we can walk together through all the ebbs and flows that life brings, navigating times of challenge and difficulty, celebrating moments of hope and strength, and seeking meaning and healing through it all. I love working with LGBTQ+ folks of all ages, with neurodiverse individuals, with people who have been impacted by trauma, and with those who are all of those things.

Does your life feel like a story waiting for its best chapters? If you're sensing an unfulfilled potential, a disconnect from yourself or others, or a yearning for a path less ordinary, you've found a partner in me. I help adults move beyond anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, neurodivergence, and trauma to guide you toward your “sublime”—a state of clarity, agency, and fulfillment within yourself. Many find themselves stuck in cycles of stress and burnout, unsure how to break free. With me, we'll explore what's really holding you back, creating space for your freedom of expression and potential to grow.

I believe that healing begins in relationship—with others and with ourselves. My goal is to create a space where you feel free to ask any question and share every part of yourself—especially the parts that have been rejected, whether by you or by others.

Taking the step to seek support is both courageous and deeply meaningful. If you’ve found yourself here, you may be exploring the possibility of true and lasting change. Every stage of life presents unique challenges that can affect our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being; without support, these challenges can feel overwhelming. My role as a therapist is to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I’m here to walk alongside you as we work together to identify barriers, build on your strengths, and uncover practical, effective strategies for healing and growth.

It’s a hard time to be human right now. The world can feel heavy, full of uncertainty and constant change, and many people are trying to hold everything together while quietly feeling overwhelmed inside. You may be feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from the life you expected. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who are used to being the strong one for everyone else. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, sort through what you’re carrying, and reconnect with yourself and what comes next!

Navigating through life's ever-changing landscape can be a complex journey, often marked by waves of anxiety, shades of depression, and the challenges of adjustment disorder. These experiences, though unique, share a common thread: they reflect our response to the world around us and the transitions we face. In my practice, I focus on understanding these emotional landscapes, creating a supportive space where you can explore and process these feelings. We'll work together to acknowledge the impact of life's shifts and the emotions they stir, fostering resilience and a deeper understanding of your personal journey.

I ask that all my clients come to therapy as authentic themselves as possible, and I will do the same. I am a flawed human who continues to work on my own stuff, while providing the place and space for you to grow. I encourage you to show up for yourself and as yourself. Nothing is off limits or too much to talk about! You are accepted here. I enjoy working with adult women and those in helping professions (educators, nurses, etc.) working through depression, anxiety, navigating adulthood, illness/cancer, relationship issues, adjustment stress and balancing roles. I believe therapy should be helpful and enjoyable.
