Do you have sexual concerns you are nervous to discuss? Are you or a loved one exploring gender or sexual orientation? Are you in a non-traditional relationship or sex-related profession? If so, you deserve a therapist who is sex-positive and LGBTQ+ affirming. I have over 15 years of experience in sexual health education emphasizing consent and pleasure. As a therapist, I use an intersectional feminist lens to identify systems that contribute to your current situation and unpack traditional societal norms. I often recommend resources by the following authors: Dr. Brene Brown, Dr. Emily Nagoski, and Dr. Kristen Neff.

Or maybe you experience a traumatic incident that's causing your world to feel unsafe, can't sleep and/or have a lot of anxiety. You're having problems in the workplace, with family or in a relationship? I'd like to work with you to help find skills to make things feel more manageable.

I specialize in LGBTQ & women 's mental health and I offer affirming counseling for all genders, all sexualities, and all relational models (e.g., monogamous, non-monogamous). Affirming counseling for women , gender diverse, queer, and/or non-monogamous people is especially important because there are unique challenges for our communities in a cis- , hetero-, & mono- normative culture where we are often pressured to betray ourselves in order to keep others comfortable. As a result of being members of minority and stigmatized groups, many of us experience anxiety, depression, grief & loss, trauma, and/or existential dilemmas.

I accept clients no matter their race, gender, ethnicity or background. My passion is working with young women and women stuck in the stress of life, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem or body image, family conflict, codependency, life transitions, or budgeting/financial stressors. There is no broken family or person, and I want to come alongside you to journey back to a place of wholeness and healing. Starting counseling can be nerve-wracking and reaching out is the hardest part! I want to encourage you that there is no better time to start than now. It would be my honor to talk to you about starting your journey.

As a therapist, I work with you to create an atmosphere of acceptance, safety, and affirmation. I work on a holistic and collaboratively level so that parts become a whole and your life begins to move in the direction that you desire.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults and helping clients learn how to apply coping skills in day to day life, recognize how past events impact their present emotions, and improve their ability to have successful relationships. Whether this is adjusting to new roles in life, coping with overwhelming anxiety or enduring the stifling impact of traumatic experiences, there is all the aptitude needed to deal with these problems within the client. I can assist the client in developing and strengthening the skills needed to effectively manage their lives.

Accepting new clients - Just as taking the time to care for your physical health is important, so is caring for your mental health. Whether you are struggling with life changes and transitions, depression or anxiety, relationship conflicts or being overwhelmed with life - counseling can provide a space to leave negative emotions behind and move towards a more fulfilled life. I strive to create a space of healing and growth.

I have primarily worked with adolescents and adults coping with Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, and family members impacted by a loved ones addiction. In life we may have experiences where we did not cope effectively and those memories just stick with us. Along with those memories are negative ideas about the self and uncomfortable emotions. Through the use of EMDR and trauma focused approaches, this "old stuff" can be resolved to create a healing lasting change.

It takes courage to seek a counseling relationship--good for you for taking this first step! A compassionate, nonjudgmental therapist can help people identify and change dysfunctional patterns that are keeping them "stuck." My goal is to provide clients with a sense of safety, confidence, and hope as they explore issues that are causing distress. I work with adults using a blend of evidence-based treatment methods that help increase self-awareness, improve communication, and strengthen coping skills. Trauma, anxiety, depression, loss, chronic illness, and complicated bereavement are my particular focus.
