Are you neurospicy? LGBTQIA+? Are you tired of wrestling: thoughts / relationships / life challenges / anxiety / depression / identity / history / values / actions / grief? Tired of conversations turning into arguments? Let's sit in the proverbial mud together. I offer nonjudgmental, skilled help as you process, learn, grow, and get unstuck. I am a dedicated therapist who works effectively with individuals, couples, and adolescents, with differing struggles. I provide a personable, relaxed, and collaborative style using various modes of treatment to meet your needs.
On a personal note... I am a daughter, friend, parent, partner, and musician. In my free time I enjoy reading, being outside, making music, hiking, meditation, travel, and quality time playing and exploring with my kids and furry friend (whom the kids swear is a human).
Given that I work telehealth, feel free to come as you are. If pajamas are your jam, wear them.
