Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. Do you find yourself feeling anxious and caught in patterns of people pleasing, perfectionism, or burnout, wanting to feel more confident and build healthier relationships but not knowing how to get there? Maybe you’re struggling to find your voice, set healthy boundaries, or feel overwhelmed by expectations and the pressure to keep it all together. You might feel stuck in cycles of self doubt and second guessing, unsure why you fall into the same patterns or feel like you’re always just missing the mark, and wondering if things will ever feel different or easier.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, and complex family or relational dynamics. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you or your child can feel safe, heard, and valued. Therapy is a place where you do not have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or have all the answers; we move at a pace that feels supportive and respectful. My hope is that through our work together, you or your child will feel safer in yourselves, more confident in your voice; carrying forward a deeper sense of the light you bring into the world.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — depression that won’t lift, anxiety that keeps narrowing their world, or a vague but persistent sense that something is “wrong” with them. A line from an Eagles song captures what I’ve witnessed again and again in my work: “So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key.” I became a therapist over a decade ago because I firmly believe that with the right blend of support and challenge, almost anyone can change unworkable patterns in his or her life.

Relationships are an essential and critical part of the human experience. I specialize in working with all types of couples and individuals working on relationships, and I relish in the fact that I get to help couples with things like greater intimacy, stronger communication, and a true sense of partnership. Couples or relationship-oriented therapy, like any therapy, takes work, and I’m grateful to be part of that process for so many.

My ideal clients are children and adults who feel overwhelmed by life’s transitions or deep-seated wounds. They may be navigating the weight of anxiety and depression, or the specific pain of trauma. These individuals need a safe harbor where they can explore their identity and emotions without judgment. Whether it’s a child struggling to regulate big feelings or an adult trying to reconcile their past with their future, their goal is to find a sense of safety and "wholeness." They want to understand their own internal world so they can move through the external world with more confidence, peace, and resilience.

“My depression keeps me stuck.” “What if people don’t like me?” “Past trauma makes me feel anxious every day.” If you’ve ever felt uncertain about your worth, overwhelmed by stress, or afraid of being a burden, remember—your struggles are valid, but they don’t define your future. Life brings challenges, but you don’t have to face them on your own. I am here to create a supportive space where your experiences are honored and your healing can begin.

As a queer, gender-expansive, and neurodivergent therapist, I deeply empathize with the diverse lived experiences of my clients. If you struggle with issues related to sexual health, eroticism, identity, self-doubt, overthinking, or harsh self-criticism, we might be a good fit! My warm approach emphasizes the pursuit of pleasure, self-compassion, and is rooted in mindfulness. I'm affirming of all identities, relationship structures, and am a kink-aware clinician. I’m passionate about helping queer, trans, and neurodivergent folks let go of limiting cultural expectations, tune into what they truly want, and embrace self-kindness.

I believe that therapy can make a big difference in people's lives, and I feel privileged that I have the chance to be a part of others’ journeys. I have a passion for supporting people in helping themselves, believing that everyone is deserving of compassion and respect. A few of the populations that I have experience working with are the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and people who come from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. I recognize the importance of factors outside of the therapy room that make us special and unique.

Are you looking to turn insight into action this year? Repeating habits rooted in emotional wounds can be painful and exhausting. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who notice dysfunctional interpersonal patterns showing up in their relationships today. Together, we identify the parts of ourselves (such as perfectionist or self-sabotaging parts) that keep these cycles going and work to gently disrupt patterns rooted in fear and trauma. By increasing awareness of the mechanisms that once helped us survive, we can access our true selves and live more intentionally.

When I think about therapy, I envision an individual carrying a little too much for a little too long, just seeking a little relief; someone to help them carry it all. I'd love to be that person for you. I enjoy working with those who are seeking healing from challenging/codependent relationships, trauma, navigating grief and loss, depression and anxiety, and/or simply have a desire to be in therapeutic contact with a supportive individual. As Ram Dass says, at the end of the day we are all just walking each other home. Let's help you return to "home", and find what peace looks like for you.

Do you ever feel like you can't seem to find your happy place in life? Like everything you're doing isn't working and you're stuck in a cycle that doesn't work for you? Most of the individuals I work with have struggled in these cycles for some time and are wanting to find a way to build a life they want to live. As a therapist, I help people identify what goals they want to achieve and create a plan to get there.

You've told yourself it was the last time. Maybe hundreds of times. And yet here you are again — same cycle, same guilt and shame, wondering what's wrong with you and why you can't just stop. You're not broken. But you might be stuck for a reason nobody has looked at yet. I work with men struggling with porn and sex addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, and the deeper layers underneath — the loneliness, the disconnection, the difficulty with real intimacy and vulnerable closeness — men who want genuine connection but keep reaching for something that feels safer, more controllable, and ultimately emptier.

Now Accepting New Patients! Hi, I’m Cameren and if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not quite like yourself, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with people who are navigating anxiety, depression, or stress, especially during times of transition, and are wanting a little more clarity, steadiness, and direction. A lot of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed or stuck in their thoughts and emotions, and are looking for practical tools that actually help in everyday life. If you’re someone who appreciates a therapist who is honest, supportive, and down-to-earth—we’ll likely be a good match.
