Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just stuck in the same loop of stress and burnout? Maybe you're an overachiever who’s used to being the go-to person for everyone else, but you’re struggling to keep it together yourself. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone—and I’m here to help. I work with individuals who want a no-nonsense approach to handling anxiety, depression, and life’s challenges. If you’ve been carrying a lot of weight on your shoulders, therapy can help you find clarity and better ways to cope. There’s no pressure to “have it all together” here—we’ll focus on what’s practical and actually works for you.
I specialize in couples counseling using the Gottman Method, a research-backed approach that focuses on cutting through communication breakdowns, rebuilding trust, and finding real ways to connect. I am a proud LGBTQ+ ally and support and uplift marginalized LGBTQ+ individuals, offering a safe, affirming space through advocacy, education, and connection.
If you are seeking an environment where you can laugh, cry, or swear freely while working towards your goals, I encourage you to reach out to me to see if I would be a good fit for your needs! If I have openings that align with your availability, we'll schedule a 15-minute phone call to get to know each other before starting therapy.
