I know how hard it can be to open up to a new person. Trust between you and your therapist is key for successful treatment and I want to help ease the transition. In the session we will work to unpack how you are managing emotionally, cognitively, physically, spiritually, and socially. My training has focused on high functioning individuals who may be successful in many domains (e.g., students, professionals) but are looking to improve functioning across the board. Let's look at past, present and future. We can collaborate to find the path for you - whether it is your first time or this is part of a long history in treatment.

Are you craving closeness with your partner but feel so far away? Are you caught in another fight and can’t find your way out? I help partners find a way back to each other by getting out of stuck patterns and connecting in a new and meaningful way. I have seen couples come out the other side of struggle more bonded than before, despite betrayals, infidelity, and long-term resentment. Healing is always possible. As a part of the LGBTQ community, I love supporting the people and the relationships in our community.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed with our personal lives as well as national and international events Often these outside events can impact our own lives which may already be difficult. This can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, sadness, fear, and confusion. Perhaps you might be dealing with a personal loss, having difficulty in a relationship, caretaking a family member, or a work situation. Having the resources and tools to live with less stress, anxiety, depression, fear, and confusion can greatly enhance your well- being.

You may be a high-intellect, gifted, or twice-exceptional (2e) person—or the parent or partner of one—feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, relationship strain, or major life transitions. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families who think deeply, feel intensely, and experience life differently. Many of my clients are high achievers navigating burnout or misalignment, or capable individuals who feel under-utilized or stuck. They value insight, experience, and therapy that honors complexity rather than pathologizing it.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and find more helpful ways of living. I offer a collaborative and client-centered approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs and cultural backgrounds to help attain the personal growth you're striving for. Your life experiences and history contribute to your individual uniqueness. Sometimes it's helpful if your therapist has a base knowledge of aspects of your culture so you don't have to explain everything. Between cultural elements of the LGBTQ community, to intersectionality experiences for persons of color, my background and training aid in this understanding.

We are here to thrive, not just survive. As a licensed therapist, Shamanic practitioner and former bodyworker, I am here to help the soul searchers, truth seekers, and those on a quest to rediscover their authentic selves towards overall health and healing. I will support you on your journey to shed the layers of fear, shame, trauma and pain. I will help you on your spiritual or self healing journey, providing additional support as you encounter life's challenges. When the walls come down, and the truth of the authentic self begins to emerge, it may be difficult, but we will move through it together. We will identify triggers and blockages, and look into things such as unhealthy attachments, cognitive distortions (negative thoughts) and “less than healthy” belief systems. It doesn’t matter whether they came from trauma in childhood, abuse, unhealthy relationships, grief or loss, I am here to help. By identifying, processing, and releasing that which no longer serves you will allow the true healing to finally begin and set your feet on the path you were meant to walk.

If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward after a painful experience, therapy can help you feel more grounded and whole. I work with people who are carrying the weight of trauma—whether it’s a single event, a buildup of stress over time, or situations that left you feeling powerless or unseen. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening in your body and mind, and begin to untangle the patterns that no longer serve you. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Communication with your partner has broken down, - and trust - in each other and in the relationship - has begun to erode. Conversations feel tense or circular, and it seems as though even small discussions can turn into arguments. Old grievances resurface, unhealed wounds float to the surface, and the cycle of blame and disappointment leaves you both feeling frustrated and emotionally distant. You may remember a time when your relationship felt easier - more connected, - more peaceful. You still care deeply about one another but feel unsure how to bridge the distance or interrupt patterns that no longer serve the relationship.
