Together we can explore your inner strengths and how to use them moving forward and find healing throughout the process. I am dedicated to social justice and believe that it’s important to find awareness of one’s resilience in the process of self-discovery and acceptance.

Now accepting new clients for in-person + virtual!
People from all walks of life find themselves in my practice, but they're often exploring some of these themes: Have your relationships felt strained or overwhelming? Does communication with others feel difficult and fraught? Have you lost interest in things and people you used to love? Are you finding yourself burnt-out and exhausted, transitioning through major changes, or grappling with world events? Have feelings of anxiety and depression become too much or rather are you struggling to feel anything at all?
You're in the right place. My clients experience this and more.

Maybe you’re doing what’s “right”, showing up for work and working hard in your relationships, but something still feels disconnected or unfulfilling. There may be a quiet loneliness under the surface, a sense that something essential is missing. You might be questioning who you are, why you feel unseen in relationships, or why anxiety or grief still hold so much power. Therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to face it alone.
Most of my clients (often men, LGBTQ+ folk, or couples) come for a core reason: they want to feel more alive, emotionally connected, and in control of their choices.

I'd love to start a little differently. I'd like to highlight the utmost importance of building rapport between you and me in our therapeutic relationship. During our time together, it will be the heartbeat of our work because without rapport openness suffers and therapy stalls. A strong connection through rapport creates safety and comfort, so you can share honestly and feel truly heard and seen. That trust supports purposeful collaboration on your goals, as an individual or couple. Regardless of what's bringing you to therapy, the rapport we'll build together will be extremely important in your healing and growth.

I want to acknowledge if you’re looking for a therapist, it’s unlikely things are going as you hoped right now. That sucks and I get that. You deserve to live an empowered, embodied existence and I want to stand by you on that journey. As an ADHDer, I love working with ND folks, and I'm passionate about working with all relationships (Couples, Poly, ENM, Family Systems + Friends). Whatever you're coming with, I'll support you through hard and messy conversations, as we discover purpose, passion, and build insight; I'll stand by you as we cultivate self-love, worth, and esteem. Together we can rewrite your story so it works for you.

The same fight keeps happening. Or maybe you and your partner barely fight anymore, but the distance feels even worse. Trust may have been broken. Resentment may be building. Or you may just feel stuck and unsure what to do next. I work with adults and couples dealing with relationship stress, betrayal, infidelity, anxiety, and men’s issues. A lot of people I work with look like they’re managing from the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, shut down, angry, or alone.

Some specialties I offer are:
Conscious Uncoupling -
Discernment Therapy -
Therapy for High Conflict Relationships -
Therapy for ENM & Polyamory Relationships -
Therapy for Better Communication
I help Millenial and GenX couples who experience consistent conflict learn how to communicate better and establish stronger intimacy and connection. People often come to therapy when they feel stuck in patterns that are affecting their well-being, relationships, or sense of self. Sometimes these challenges have been present for years; other times they emerge during periods of transition, stress, or change. Therapy provides a space to explore these experiences, better understand the underlying patterns, and develop new ways of responding to relationship challenges.

I currently work with individuals, couples, and families. I see therapy as one approach for an intentional practice of self and relational awareness. If you are feeling limited by your own beliefs, expectations or blurry boundaries with others, and/or constructs and constraints imposed by our systems, I want to help empower you to be curious about your potential and purpose in your own life and in the world around you. I like metaphors, so I'll use one now. I see therapy as a bass line, something that maintains a consistent and reliable beat in the background while you improvise, play, and experiment in the foreground.

As a post modern thinker, I believe that each person has the skills and strengths to create an affirmative narrative, that is not based on negative self-talk or unproductive messages. I like holding conversations that will spark curiosity and explore opportunities to author your new stories.
