I have been practicing social work and working as a psychotherapist since 2014. I support individuals who are recovering from eating disorders, body image issues, substance use, trauma, self harm, Borderline Personality Disorder, prenatal and postpartum issues. I work with adults and teens. My style has been described as nurturing, empathic, and empowering. I am direct and authentic; I will never blame you for your suffering. My approach is primarily psychodynamic but combines aspects of feminist and social justice perspectives, mindful self-compassion, dialectical behavior therapy, Seeking Safety, and mindfulness. I use HAES.

Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis offer emotional and psychological space for change. They offer an opportunity to decode what is not working and with therapeutic guidance provide clients with a scaffolding to try out new thinking and ways of feeling. I see psychotherapy as a kind of lab, where clients safely get to try new approaches out, notice what works and what is most effective. My work is about helping clients; whether a problem to be solved, a desired behavioral change, or finding meaning during a life challenging experience. I encourage individuals to contact me and explore that change. I am here to help.

I have over 20 years of experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and other areas that impair daily functioning. I have extensive experience working in mental health. I am passionate about the work that I do. The first phase of therapy is building a therapeutic alliance. I believe that without trust and transparency, my clients will not make the progress they need.

How might they be triggering depression, anxiety, OCD, etc?
Are you a part of a community, in a relationship, a family, or a line of work that used to feel supportive but now feels costly? Do you feel like your performing, always "on," on guard, or run down as a result? Do you feel afraid of change because the stakes are so high? As a therapist I understand and walk the complicated terrain of change with my clients. Many are LGBTQ+ people seeking support in affirming their identity, navigating relationships, family systems, or religious environments, couples entering a new season or seeking to improve trust and communication, men navigating career, family, and mid life, and cult survivors.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, angry, and overwhelmed? Do you continue to repeat the same patterns of being in unhealthy relationships, engaging in harmful behaviors that are not serving you in a good way, and continuously trying to find a way to numb the pain? I am a process-oriented and trauma-informed therapist who meets clients where they are at. I draw from the psychodynamic approach focusing on bringing the unconscious to the conscious to get to the root of the issue and explore defense mechanisms that have been adapted along the way.

I am deeply grateful for the privilege to hold space for people through some of the most vulnerable moments of life. I believe healing does not take place solely in the mind. Movement and exploration of somatic experiences can invite deep healing. I work to understand each person and am honored to hold space for individuals with different backgrounds and identites. My desire is to attune to the complexities of identity to bring harmony to different parts of ourselves which each hold importance in our lives.

When we begin working together, I discuss different approaches to therapy so that you can make an informed decision about what approach you prefer.

Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues due to trauma? Past experiences can create imprints onto your brain that activate your fight/flight responses whenever your emotions feel dysregulated, but life without the constant feeling of being on edge is possible. Those traumatic memories don’t have to permanently influence who you are meant to be. Through therapy, you will gain control of your feelings/thoughts and your response to everyday life hurdles. Healing from trauma can create healthier beliefs about yourself and your relationships along with sustainable changes.
