Being a human can be hard. You might be facing relationship conflict (with yourself or others); moving through grief or navigating a stressful life transition; grappling with sexual or identity concerns; or dealing with substance use challenges... Maybe it's something different or yet unidentified. But a part of you knows you don't need to struggle with it alone anymore. I work with clients to shed the taboos that cause shame and suffering, and to grow the acceptance and authenticity that feed a well-lived life. I bring an encouraging presence and relational style to the therapeutic experience, enlivening sessions with humor.
My training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy helps partners understand and communicate about conflict from an attachment perspective. I use Motivational Interviewing and harm reduction strategies to individualize recovery from drugs/alcohol. With deep experience in grief, I can support through the loss of a loved one, job, ability, home, identity, etc.
I welcome teen (13+) and adult clients, as individuals or in couples/dyads (or other relationship configurations). So if you are thinking, feeling, or acting in ways that are keeping you from the life you desire—or that seem unspeakable to share with others—I invite you to reach out and talk to me.

I work with clients through their concerns related to stress, mood, grief, and distressed relationships with self, others, sex, or substances. I aim to make engaging in therapy approachable. Clients get the space and time to identify their emotional experience, express what might otherwise feel unsharable, and move toward their truest values and desires.
