"Many of my clients relate to the experience of feeling "othered", different or as existing outside of culturally-constructed margins. In our increasingly isolationist world, feeling different or other is becoming a common experience. While many things may remind us of our difference, or "non-normativity", in therapy I aim to collaboratively uncover and identify the worth and purpose that I believe exist in all humxn beings. I believe that all concerns, struggles, challenges, curiosities and explorations brought to therapy are related to relationships--the relationship we have with ourselves and other people. Often, clients express a need for deep connection and goals involve enhancing relationships, identifying emotions, coping more effectively with emotions, and nourishing self-worth and confidence. Research on therapeutic effectiveness has repeatedly demonstrated that therapeutic relationship is the principle determinant of positive therapeutic outcome. Thus, when I first meet clients, client-therapist relationship and chemistry is the primary emphasis and catalyst for change. "

"Are you a man or woman struggling with anxiety, stress, or depression? Do you stay in your home because you would be so embarrassed if you were to have a panic attack in public? Are you so depressed you cannot sleep at night or maybe you sleep all day? You don't eat. You can't work. You cry all the time. Is your partner done with you and have moved out? Are you a college student who is missing classes or about to get kicked out of school because you are so depressed? You have no friends, no partner, no life. You want to be done with panic attacks, depression, or stress in your life. You want your life back. "

"Sometimes we all can use a little help on life's journey--when things seem dark, when we feel like we are drowning in emotions, challenges, or thoughts, or when we just need someone to help with focus as we set a course toward achieving our goals. That is what therapy is all about! Therapy is not having someone with all the right answers tell you what to do or doing things to you; it is having a professional guide to draw out your goals and strengths, to breathe hope into difficult times, and to assist with perspective and skills. As Rumi said, "The wound is where the light enters you." Come, find hope, and refuel for your journey. "

"I believe in the undeniable worthiness of every person, and the power and resilience of the human spirit. The losses, stressors, and suffering we face in life can sometimes leave our souls gasping for air and lead us to disconnection from self, others, and purpose.

In counseling, I facilitate your process of healing and (re)discovering hope, connection, resilience, and compassionate understanding of yourself and your experiences."
