I help people whose mood, trauma, anxiety, depression and intrusive thoughts are controlling their lives learn to cope and feel in control again. Seeking therapy can be a scary step, but I'm excited to say that you don’t have to manage life's difficulties alone. In therapy, I will support you in learning what your body is communicating through sadness, panic, insecurity, grief, and hopelessness. We can explore a variety of ways to process, as well as coping skills that match your life and who you are. I believe that we are experts of our own experiences, and my role is to guide you toward healing while honoring your personal values.

I think most of us struggle with the same needs: that our lives matter; that we know our life is valuable, that we bring blessings into the world; that we live (and love) toward a calling of purpose; that we have meaningful connections in community; and that we live a life of love. Whether we are trying to overcome or let go of an old story, learn new boundaries, find love, or find our true path, holistic therapy weaves together both a pragmatic tending to the challenges that are here now, and a sacred awareness that we are part of something bigger, more meaningful - even in our suffering - than we could have imagined.

Rooted in connection, backed by science. I use an array of tools and interventions to help support trauma resolution, decrease overall anxiety and overwhelm, and sustain meaningful relationships. Together we can identify and heal patterns that are no longer serving you, because what may have worked in the past is no longer tolerable. Whether you're new to therapy or looking for a different perspective, I support you to understand your nervous system and your attachment patterns as we explore how the past has impacted you, so you can feel more empowered in the present.

As a Queer person with ADHD, I want to help neurodivergent people feel more comfortable navigating nuances around sex, sexuality, gender, and relational dynamics. I also have a passion for fostering healthy conversation where partners can safely express their needs, desires, fears, and pain. I want to guide people toward secure attachment so that they feel worthy of love and capable of advocating for their experiences. I strive to reduce shame and reinstate curiosity so that we can have a more mindful connection with ourselves, our bodies, and others. I find reward in working with trauma and its impact on sex and quality of life.

I am deeply committed to meeting you exactly where you are, honoring and celebrating your unique story. It is a privilege to share this space with you. I believe in embracing the beauty and complexity of our interconnected lives, including the painful moments that can ultimately become sources of resilience, growth, and strength. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and many of us learn to disconnect from ourselves in order to survive. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and make sense of the emotions, patterns, and experiences that shape who we are.

Hello, I'm here to help. Life is filled with what I consider "tiny deaths". Moments of transition (good or bad). Change can be anticipated, or an unexpected surprise. These events are complimented with complex emotions. Feelings including but not limited to: confusion, rage, grief, stress, anxiety, anger, fear, and loss. Allow me to create a space to unpack. My ideal clients are Women, mid 20s-early 50s, specifically wanting to understand or prepare for their peripartum experience. I find myself most connected to this work, as a therapist, and someone with lived experience in the postpartum realm.
