Thank you for taking a moment to read my profile page. There is hope. With some patience and follow thru you can change the story. My approach is centered on developing mindfulness skills with compassion and kindness. I use a humanistic, client centered approach to cater to an individuals needs. Our life stories are varied and different and thus is therapy.

In my practice, I believe the therapeutic relationship is sacred and created in partnership with each client to foster safety, compassion, patience and a sense of curiosity. Together we can create an environment to explore your personal challenges, emotions, imagination, limiting beliefs, trauma and any other issues that come forward to be worked through. When a person actively engages the world in a new way it can lead to greater awareness, self confidence, joy, peace and the ability to bring a more authentic, accurate centered sense of self into their relationships.

Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

We will work together taking steps that will guide you on your path of change and recovery. I believe everyone at some point in their life may need to seek out a counselor. Life is always changing.

If you’re looking for a therapist who is basically David Rose meets early-00’s Britney (with a dash of Drag Race & a pinch of recycled WeHo go-go boy,) you’ve clicked on the right profile. But please don’t let my humor undercut the reverence & respect I have for the therapeutic process. Self-empowerment, radical acceptance & authentic human connection will be the cornerstone of our work. I utilize strength-based, affirmative & neuroscientific theory to guide us...but healing doesn't happen via theory. It lies in you -- your hopes, hardships, successes & infinite wisdom. Sometimes we'll laugh. Often, we'll cry. But either way...

I’m deadly curious about what you want to say but can’t, who you want to be but won’t, and what would unfold out of you if we could together tend to the parts that are hard to bear— without judgment and without a goal for what comes next. There is a reason you have been bottling up precious parts of you. We will explore that reason, that need you had to hold yourself tightly inside. It is from this safer space that you will once again look at the long-hidden precious parts of you, and together we will see how you want to unfold from here. I'm a good fit for authenticity/identity/wounds/therapists/queer folks/over-thinkers/creatives.

Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck? Feel unseen or undervalued? Going through a big transition or feel like you need something to change? Let's unpack this together. We'll delve into what's holding you back, challenge societal expectations, and rewrite your story authentically. In sessions, I offer autonomy and acceptance, creating a safe space for deep exploration. My aim is to walk beside you as you discover yourself, heal, and flourish. It's time to find balance and joy in your life.

Perhaps you’ve been feeling stuck in this season of life. Maybe you’re having trouble setting boundaries with friends or family. Or you might need support learning how to manage big feelings in healthy ways. Wherever you're at, I would be honored to assist you in your journey. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am passionate about providing a safe and affirming space for clients from diverse backgrounds. I also recognize the role that spirituality has for many people and am able to work with clients in a way that respects their beliefs.

Relationships are a cornerstone of life, but we all know that challenges arise. As a therapist specializing in working on relationships, I help both individuals and couples navigate these complexities. Let's be honest, it is not easy to find a therapist whom you connect with. And when you're going through a really difficult time, it's even harder. A foundation of my approach is making sure my clients feel safe and truly comfortable doing this vulnerable work together. We will take the time we need to develop a strong working relationship so we can honestly and openly explore the areas that need support in your life.

We are all continually moving through different spaces trying to establish who we are and what is important to us. Adjusting to these environments can be especially difficult if who you are is not embraced, whether it is within your family, at work, in the military, in a social group, or faith-based community. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am an advocate for underrepresented individuals and communities, and try to be affirming to those struggling with being accepted or understood. Therapy can be a space to better recognize your needs, your values, and how to cope more effectively.

I am accepting new clients now! No one prepares you for how hard it is to be human. One could argue that anxiety and depression are appropriate responses to the absurd conditions of modern life. In order to thrive, human beings need connection with nature and a sense of community. However, so many fixtures of our culture isolate us from the natural world and from each other. It's my pleasure to collaborate with clients and explore how they might live more joyfully and authentically.

Perhaps from the outside your life seems pretty good? Maybe there's even a part of you that feels guilty complaining, asking for help? Or, maybe you're in a full-blown crisis? Maybe you've been listening to self help books & podcast? Practicing gratitude & positivity? Meditating & praying? But something still feels OFF ...at home, at work, in your quiet moments alone ...in your relationship with your partner, kids, friends, parents ...with your SELF, your body, age, appearance, relationship-status? Do you feel exhausted? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Numb? Lost? Sad? A tightness in your chest? A pit in your stomach? Like you might explode?
