As a Black, queer, trans person, I intimately understand how those with marginalized identities are often silenced and made to feel invisible. In my practice, I prioritize creating a space where your voice is centered and valued. I believe that true healing and growth come when we reconnect with ourselves and with others in meaningful ways, and I strive to create an environment where you can fully show up as yourself.

Welcome! I'm glad you found your way here. Reaching out can be difficult. Often filled with anxiety, fear, and self-doubt. I've been there.

Whether you're facing a point of challenge, a period of crisis, or a chronic issue, I welcome the opportunity to bring my experience and training alongside your experience, values, and goals. Together, we can make something decent of this strange, messy, and perhaps even beautiful world.

Do you love video games? Comic books? Dungeons and Dragons? Do feel nervous or afraid all the time? Or sad, disconnected? Have you ever felt like an outcast, misfit, or weirdo? Have you ever asked yourself "Is any of this even real?" or "Am I an NPC?" If so, you may have just found your therapist. I work with geeks, nerds, dorks, and dweebs, LGBTQIA folx, the Kink and Polyamory/ENM communities and people of all cultures and spiritualities. So let's play Minecraft while you process, write fanfic about overcoming adversity, or if you're brave, use Dark Souls to practice coping with big emotions. Makes therapy sound kinda fun, right?

Tired of the same hurtful patterns such that you experience your partner as needy, distant, critical, or defensive? Do you feel like you're just going through the motions, or sinking in sadness and stress? Are your your relationships tense, distant, or non-existent? Are you struggling to find hope that life can feel good again, and love can be connected and safe?

Talk therapy is not enough. My approach to therapy focuses on combining cognitive and somatic therapies to strengthen connection to self, and reduce the blocks to healing. The goal is to connect to your authenticity, and have the freedom to find positive and affirming ways to enjoy relationships with self and others. The goal is to experience life without shutting down or disconnecting, and/or using destructive behaviors to reduce pain and distress. Attaining the freedom to choose what you want for yourself, begins with taking the first step.

If a person experiences physical pain, seeking treatment is expected. To me, it is important to do the same when one experiences emotional and/or mental pain. Whether it be lack of balance, understanding a past/recent traumatic event, or navigating difficult relationships, life can leave us feeling off balance and disconnected from people and things that mean the most to us. Being able to help people heal from emotional pain, restore connections, and find joy in their lives is my greatest passion.

I specialize in relationship issues, anxiety and depression. Do you lay in bed thinking about everything that's gone wrong this week or perhaps the past decade? The constant worry and self doubt are starting to make you feel like you're about to unravel. And even worse, it's negatively impacting your self worth and relationships. You might even think to yourself, "...I'm a good person and I try to do the right thing... Why can't I have a couple of good days?!"

Feeling uncomfortably anxious or sad? Trouble sleeping or just not feeling yourself? Are you going through a stressful time such as coping with a medical illness or the illness of a loved one? Maybe even grieving the loss of a loved one? Maybe you are going through a stressful move or relationship problems. In this difficult time, it is important to have support around you. It may be hard to imagine that you can cope with this, or that things can get better.

You’re a go-getter. You believe that if there is a way to work your way out of a problem, then defining those steps will get you out of this slump, worry, and recurring conflict. Fear, sleeplessness, dissatisfaction, or sadness coupled with the stress of daily responsibilities is taking its toll. Your upset might manifest as frequent arguing with your partner or emotional numbing. You want to figure this out, so you can all get back to normal. I want to help you re-define normal, not only as a way to be productive but as a way to remain understood, respected, and connected to your loved ones.

I am more for people who are so tired of looping in pain, escapism/distraction, and numbing, people who are ready and willing to choose differently. You will not tell me about your week, most sessions. Most sessions will be becoming aware of, curious about, processing through, and yes, feeling in your body the things you run from, deny, or are so afraid might be true of you…things you don’t even know exist within the depths of you. I am at home in the deep.
