Life is a cycle of learning, healing, growth. Feeling stymied or creatively blocked? I am a psychologist & creative coach who may be able to help. Do you know what you want & can't seem to get there? I know what it feels like to be frustrated, bogged down or confused. Take that courageous and momentum-building first step! Support greater insight, fulfillment & peace of mind via expert counseling for your heroic journey. An energized collaboration involving compassionate psychoeducation, talk therapy & experiential processes. Say yes to mindfulness, transcending self-limiting beliefs, and transforming challenges into breakthroughs.
I offer short-term treatment and longer term therapy for overall wellness. While I do not believe in trying to "fix" you, I am here to help you tap into your true power and equanimity. We work on several levels: alleviating pain points, optimizing your keys for success, enhancing mindful awareness and value-based action. Weekly, biweekly & monthly sessions.

Allied/identified within intersectional AltSex communities (LGBTQ+; BDSM; Poly, Sex Work) - addressing internal struggles in a chaotic yet hopeful world.

Typical clients may struggle with anxiety, relational boundaries or creative blocks. We work to enhance awareness, foster healing and facilitate goal fulfillment. My clients tend to be alternative rather than normative in their orientation - from ethnically and sexually diverse identities, as well as neurodiverse in their functioning and outlook. Focusing on optimization, acceptance & liberation.

I've written a book based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). Overall, I am integrative in my approach. Key facets of my therapy include mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral interventions, western &/or shamanic trance work, parts work (Internal Family Systems, ACA "reparenting"), attachment theory, and somatic attunement. We ground the session by starting with silent or guided meditation.
