Stepping into therapy with someone is an inherently risky process. You are courageously opening up to someone that you don't really know, in hopes of changing, of finding something new, of building a relationship that can create positive change. I respect those who take the leap and I get the importance that you find the right therapist so that you can be understood at a deep level and begin looking more closely at the places in your life that you would like to see change.

Do you know what you want?
Do you want to be free? Happy? Relaxed in your body? Content? Passionate and sexy? Courageous in the face of fear? More connected to your partner or to the Divine?
How do you get in the way of living the life you want?
Do you constantly judge yourself? Noticing all the ways you "fail" to live up to way you "should" be.
Or do you tend to direct that criticism outwards? Blaming others, feeling envy, or always waiting for external circumstances to line up just right so you can finally live how you want.

I am a queer and trans therapist working with many folx in holistic and meaningful ways to navigate the complexities of identity, intimacy and trauma.

Together, we work on healing from past trauma, rebuilding trust, and navigating relationships—whether romantic, platonic, or familial. The goal is to feel empowered, whole, and connected, both to themselves and the people they love.

Imagine what it would be like to have enough space inside to feel anything and be OK with it. To not get thrown around, to not feel like you are sinking or drowning, and to maintain your balance when things get tough. To be calm when you normally would get angry. To find moments of joy when it seems like everything is negative. While it may not feel like it right now, change is possible. You can do something about your feelings of anxiety or depression, drug or alcohol use, OCD, eating disorders, etc.

I work with high-achieving adults and couples navigating high-pressure lives who look composed on the outside but feel disconnected, anxious, or shut down on the inside. The same emotional distance that drives professional success often shows up as isolation, conflict, or shutdown in close relationships and intimacy. I specialize in chronic stress, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationship patterns, intimacy and desire issues, and sexuality. Together we look at where those patterns are stuck and build a way of relating that feels more honest, alive, and sustainable.

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.
