If you're looking to feel more grounded, stable, and at peace in your personal and professional life, I can help. I work with individuals struggling with overwhelming worry, feelings of inadequacy, fear that things can’t change, or the sense that life is happening to them rather than with them. I also support clients navigating complex family or romantic relationships, the integration of sexual orientation and/or gender identity with other areas of life, and processing grief from loss, death, or relationship endings.
My therapeutic style is engaged, respectful, and exploratory. Together, we'll notice unhelpful patterns, uncover their sources, identify the life you want to create, and build on your strengths to bring about meaningful change. My clients often share that they appreciate my thoughtfulness, empathy, humor, and realistic perspective.
I specialize in working with adult LGBTQ+ clients, relationship issues, people navigating life transitions (such as new parents or young adults), and individuals coping with grief and loss. If you think we might be a good fit, please message me to discuss next steps!
