You might’ve considered therapy for a while, or are seeking a new therapist for a new life chapter. You may be feeling overwhelmed, unable to relax, or even buried underneath your life and are wondering how you ended up here. Maybe it started at a certain workplace, a school, a move, a relationship change, a loss, or when you developed a condition. Or maybe it started earlier in life. This may sound especially familiar to those who are: LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, have chronic conditions, disability, first-gen, working in/retiring from tech, entertainment, or finance.

Hello! You may not know me, but I am very much looking forward to getting to know you. I approach my work through a strengths-based and trauma-informed lens. I tend to work with issues of identity; relational, family, and intergenerational complexity; LGBTIQ, gender and sexual diversity; kink; trauma, abuse, and C-PTSD; grief, spirituality, existential questions, meaning-making; men’s issues, and the many ways people experience and relate to their bodies. As a side note, I’m also a hospice chaplain and ordained clergyperson with an MDiv. If you wanted to bring faith or spirituality into our conversations, that's entirely up to you.

Do you need support finding your life’s purpose? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you find it difficult to feel pain and face your shadows? While considering the whole person- heart, soul, mind and body, I trust that you enter therapy having the insight you need to navigate your distress. I use the term "depth emergence" to explain my orientation and approach. It stems from depth psychology, which emphasizes gaining access to the unconscious and bringing it into consciousness. While increasing awareness we derive meaning, evolve, and transform.

Let’s listen to your body, voice, and mind.
I'm a somatic therapist, which means I work with the body, breath, and imagination, along with your personal story, dreams & goals. My work lives at the intersection of the body, depth psychology, & creativity. I work with individuals & couples who are ready to move through — & talk through — what is holding them back.
My clients are often creatives, actors, or deep thinkers in film/tv, medical, academia, tech, etc. — people who may get stuck in traditional talk therapy. I work with people navigating trauma, grief, screen addiction, family drama, burnout, and mid-life transitions.

You’re intuitive, emotionally attuned, maybe others often rely on you—but in close relationships, you lose your center. You find yourself over-giving, over-explaining, or second-guessing your needs, then feeling resentful or unseen. Even with insight, the pattern repeats. I help you slow down and track what’s happening in your body in real time, so you can recognize when you’re leaving yourself and begin to respond with clarity, boundaries, and self-trust. Most importantly, creating a safer relationship with your inner world creates a map to bring that to your other relationships.

Generally, I treat groups, couples, and individuals--21 years of age or older.

I work collaboratively to create a supportive place where you can explore your inner world and come to know yourself more fully. Many of the people I work with have had repeated experiences of feeling unseen or misunderstood, without the kind of deep listening and attunement that allows their authentic self to be clearly expressed and received.
Therapy can become a place where that begins to happen. Over time, you may begin to experience yourself differently and engage in personal discovery that opens up a greater sense of possibility in how you live your life and what feels meaningful to you.

Therapy begins with safety. Starting the process can feel vulnerable, so I create a space where you feel understood and accepted as you are. My approach is somatic and experiential, engaging mind and body to work with trauma, attachment wounds, and long-standing patterns. Guided by current research in memory and neuroplasticity, we use methods that help reprocess difficult experiences and support the mind and body’s natural capacity to heal.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Balancing work, relationships, family, and personal expectations can often lead to stress, anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma. I work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents to help them navigate these challenges while reconnecting with their resilience, sense of purpose, and inner strength.
I have extensive experience supporting professionals in high-pressure environments, as well as first and second generation adult children of immigrant parents. My approach is collaborative, culturally attuned, and grounded in compassion. I provide services through telehealth.

Most people look to you for the answer and you usually have it. Solving problems isn't the issue for you; rather, you hide parts of yourself and you're wrestling with frustration, guilt, or loneliness. You may consistently seek the next hit of happiness or confidence, but it's fleeting. My goal is to help alleviate the issues you've carrying. We will look at various parts of yourself and find what's working and what's not to deepen insights and find pragmatic solutions, so you can live in more alignment. I have success helping clients improve relationships, understand their emotions and others, and live more authentically.
