My approach is inclusive, centered on trust, and providing support in a judgment-free manner that respects your lived experiences while also fostering accountability.

My years of experience as a therapist are based on clinical work, teaching and, of course, personal life and death lessons that we all encounter.
Living in a world of endless flux can make it difficult to reach out and seek help. I assess the forces that shape our psychological distress and consider how building upon empathy and connection can lead to a healthier state of being. My approach focuses on issues of identity, relationships, race, gender, class, and post-human development.

While I am licensed and qualified to treat a diverse range of concerns, my specialties lie in the areas of anxiety, grief, trauma, and mindfulness.
Life can be hard. So many of us face difficulties and challenges at different points throughout life. We might feel scared, sad, alone, overwhelmed. Helpless, hopeless. We might become angry with others, and even turn against ourselves. Sometimes we may lose sight of the moment and of ourselves and it becomes difficult to find any kind of meaning or purpose in life. Finding an anchor in the present, cultivating awareness and understanding, and finding compassion for your inner voice and emotional repertoire can be healing, and can cultivate new relationships not only those around you, but also within yourself.

I understand that seeking counseling while struggling with your depression, anxiety, grief, and/or relationship conflicts can be a stressful and overwhelming experience.
This best happens as we gently and purposely explore confusing and painful emotions, entrenched relationship patterns, and hurtful beliefs that weigh you down in the moment to moment living of your life. Then, we collaborate to discover solutions and new ways of relating to yourself and to others.
