Therapy can help you find your inner compass in order to navigate the challenges that life brings. If you are seeking therapy, perhaps some area of your life is out of balance. You may feel conflicted, that you are not finding the connection you want in relationships or not living up to your fullest potential. I can help you make sense of these feelings, cultivate your innate gifts and respectfully let go of old habits so you can live more freely.

I enjoy working with adults and couples of all ages. Because my practice is integrated and client-centered, I don't limit my practice to a particular demographic or diagnosis. I am qualified to work with a broad variety of human experiences, symptoms, and challenges.

I support individuals navigating grief, loss, major life transitions, aging, dementia (self or a loved one), end-of-life concerns, and the challenges of “adulting.” I support queer individuals and men (of all sexualities and gender expressions) seeking more authentic lives beyond inherited cultural expectations. I aim to offer a grounded presence and try to create a space for honest reflection and vulnerability. As a dancer, I bring a somatic body-focused lens to our sessions and integrate drama therapy techniques to help interrupt stuck patterns. We work to reconnect with the wisdom of your body and deeper wisdom.

We all have work to do. We don't have to do it alone. In a safe, non-judgmental environment, I explore with my clients their dreams, artwork, relationships, and daily life experiences, to bring light and insight to blockages and barriers to their full experience and enjoyment of life. Such blockages can be past trauma, incorrect embedded beliefs, injured parts, and/or ingrained thought patterns and habits. Once these things are processed and/or healed, new ways forward can be nurtured.

Individuals across the lifespan—LGBTQ+ kids, teens, and adults—often seek support when anxiety, identity questions, family dynamics, school stress, or relationship challenges feel overwhelming. Adults may want to better understand long-standing emotional patterns and build more secure, fulfilling connections. Parents often look for affirming care that helps their child feel safe, understood, and confident. Therapy provides space to build resilience, strengthen self-acceptance, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating in daily life.

You want to feel seen, understood, and validated in your experience. You want a life that’s more fulfilling. Maybe your past experiences are getting in your way and you’re feeling ready to finally work through them... and maybe even learn to use them as opportunities to grow. Maybe you’re tired of feeling disconnected and lost. Maybe you’re: -Feeling numb to the world around you. -Trying to thrive but feeling burned out. -Feeling down, anxious, overwhelmed, or not like yourself. -Struggling to figure out how to move forward from your past.

I work closely with both couples and individuals. My individual clients range folks healing from anxiety, depression, grief or life transitions. I specialize in working with women, mothers, LGBTQ-2SI+ and BIPOC. I have always been fiercely passionate about helping others to amplify their strengths and manifest the lives they find most fulfilling. Nothing moves me more than to be a guide and a witness to human transformation. As we go through life's inevitable transitions, occasionally we encounter roadblocks or detours that can either stop us in our tracks or provide us with vital life lessons filled with wisdom and empowerment.

When words are hard to find, we can use art, writing, and mindfulness with talk to explore, express, and transform thoughts and emotions woven throughout life's journey.
Life is a beautiful thing, and is a complex thing that brings with it challenges and opportunities to grow, heal, and soften our edges. Intergenerational trauma, personal experiences, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, stress, as well as relationships and cultural expectations, can all affect how we see ourselves and interact with the world around us. By helping you unearth connections between mind and body, we can integrate each aspect that makes you, you.

You're high-functioning and driven, and on the outside, things look fine. But inside there's a relentless current: people-pleasing that leaves you empty, anxiety that doesn't match your circumstances, a quiet fear of what might unravel if you slow down. Burnout that rest doesn't fix, or intrusive thoughts you can't logic your way out of. You've tried to figure it out on your own. You're self-aware, probably the person others come to for support, and still something won't shift. That's not a failure of willpower. It's a signal that the work needs to go somewhere deeper than the thinking mind can reach.

I do art therapy, EMDR, TFT, TEB, Somatic Regulation and Resilience ,hypnotherapy, and sand tray therapy.
I generally work with high functioning people at important junctures in life where the suffering is great. Asking for help is often a powerful step of surrendering the ego's attempts to resist change. Symptoms are often a sign that something is trying to wake up inside of you. When you turn your attention inward and get intimate with your inner life you can generate the energy to heal, to grow and to change. I specialize in somatic table work for treating developmental trauma. This work focuses on repairing developmental wounds, strengthening somatic resilience and increasing capacity for regulation in the nervous system.

Witnessing my clients feel empowered to work towards meaningful change inspires me everyday. Asking for help is a difficult thing to do, especially when it comes to our mental health. My position allows me to support folks who’ve taken the first step (often for the first time) to focus on improving their coping skills, confidence, self-compassion, relationships, boundaries, and self-care. I aim to highlight strengths and utilize my client’s interests and passions to help facilitate positive changes. Supporting folks through life challenges, trauma, and grief is also an important part of my practice.
