Our society teaches us to value independence, confidence and productivity – sometimes to the detriment of our relationships and our own sense of self-worth. Almost daily we are bombarded with narrowly defined gender roles, and ‘rules’ around how we should look, act, think and feel. We enjoy collaborating with clients to reconsider the boundaries of their lives, how they create meaningful relationships, and in doing so, identify their preferred ways of engaging with the world.

Clients who work with me will find an inviting and collaborative environment where they can bring their “whole” self, the “messy” parts included, and engage in a process to better understand their stories and contexts, while receiving practical suggestions to support their experiences both during and outside of therapy sessions. I enjoy working with clients who wish to get unstuck from repetitive, troublesome, or self-defeating patterns of relating to themselves, others, or their world.

I often feel as though I get to experience one of life’s greatest privileges - I bear witness to the fullness of what it means to be human. Not only do I get to sit with people as they cope through painful and challenging moments, but also I am able to celebrate in moments of deep joy and pleasure. I strive to create a space that is compassionate, caring, warm, and non-judgmental, and I aim to meet you wherever you are in your journey. Through this, I remain humbled by the stories and experiences that clients bring to the room. I believe in the power of therapy. I believe in the power of curiosity and connection. I believe in YOU!

On the outside, it may look like you’re doing well; you’re responsible, thoughtful, and used to figuring things out on your own. But internally, it can feel like a different story: overthinking, second-guessing, feeling stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift. I’m a therapist who takes an integrative, evidence-based approach, helping you understand the deeper patterns behind what you’re experiencing while also finding practical ways to create change. Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest, slow things down, and start making sense of what has been holding you back.

You're an LGBTQ+ or open-minded adult whose anxiety keeps getting worse, but you can't figure out why. You're out of the closet, you got the home, the career, friends, you may or may not have a partner or partners. You're self-aware AF, but you need a fresh, inclusive therapist who's an expert at spotting the patterns you can't see yourself. Maybe it's childhood trauma, years of being in the closet, experiences of being judged and rejected. Your nervous system may not be caught up with who you are today. Old programming, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and childhood trauma can be affecting your adult life, and now you need new tools.

Being an immigrant, a child of immigrants, a world traveler, or an international student can leave you feeling disconnected and unsure of where you belong. You may feel alone even when surrounded by people, busy with school, work, or daily responsibilities. If this is you, please know: you are not alone. Many who uproot themselves—whether by choice or by circumstance—experience similar feelings. These emotions are valid, human, and understandable. Still, the isolation and lack of belonging can be exhausting. You may be longing to feel more grounded, hopeful, and connected.

I am passionate about childhood mental health as I believe intervening early will help your child meet their full potential and grow up to be an emotionally healthy, confident adult. The parent-child relationship is vital, so I aim to include you, the caregiver, as much as is possible and appropriate during treatment. I would love to help you and your child connect in more positive ways through play, as well as support your child learn positive coping skills to support challenging behaviors and big feelings.

On the outside, you hold a lot together. You’re responsible, thoughtful, and often the one others rely on. On the inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, reactive, or quietly ashamed. Relationships can feel triggering, family dynamics complicated, or substance use (yours or someone else’s) may affect your life. You’ve likely tried to work through this on your own—or even done therapy before—and want deeper change. You want to understand why you react the way you do, shift long-standing patterns, communicate more clearly, and feel steadier in your emotions and body.

Everyone needs a safe place and an open non-judgmental environment to express needs, work through issues, and be validated as an individual. Relationships, personal and professional, can define us, support us, overwhelm us, and/or give meaning to our lives. A therapy session is a gift we give ourselves, one of the few times we have permission to elevate our own needs and, in so doing, heal ourselves.

My hope is that all of my clients will begin to approach both themselves and their world with more gentleness. With so many beautiful moments to capture, do you ever stop and notice what it is that you attend to? These are the things that are filling your life. I believe that small moments are actually opportunities to develop more peaceful encounters with ourselves. Fortunately, we can recreate the way we speak to ourselves. I have over fifteen years of experience and have treated children, adolescents and adults with trauma, depression, anxiety and learning differences.
