Do you find yourself constantly masking parts of who you are just to get through the day? Are you trying to meet expectations that feel unreachable and that make you feel like you weren’t built for this? Does it feel like you are always “on”, leading to exhaustion from just existing? These can all lead to feeling stuck and disconnected, feeling like no one really can see you for who you are. Doing all that alone is impossible, but asking for help seems just as impossible.
Therapy should see all of you, not just your symptoms. That means we’ll look at your individual experiences and the bigger picture: the systems you live in and the communities you’re part of. I work collaboratively with you to set goals, adjust our approach as needed, and create a space where you can be fully yourself.
Our sessions will feel like a conversation with someone who really gets where you’re coming from, but with the tools and training to help you move forward. I believe community fosters growth, and I’d be honored to be part of yours. Whether you want a gentle space to reflect or an active collaborator in your healing, we’ll work in a way that fits for you!

I have worked closely with people going through different mental health struggles, and work hard to make each plan for treatment individual. How you connect with others, yourself, and the communities you participate in play a huge role in the therapeutic work that we will do together. You can expect to talk a lot about the systems you are part of, as well as your own experiences.
