We are a diverse group of clinicians and inspiration-makers who know that to hold others in their process, we must also feel held. Staff are experts in their own identities, lives and careers. We are better clinicians by bringing our whole selves to our work.

Who you are… straight, transgender, bisexual, lesbian, gay, queer, genderqueer, questioning… is an essential part of our work together. I welcome your whole self, supporting traditional and non-traditional families: blended, multiracial, multigenerational, foster, poly, leather, and members of kink communities. Therapy promotes healing, growth, and change. We'll focus together to understand your thoughts and behaviors. Our work together will help you develop new coping skills. Growth happens by reinforcing your strengths and values, increasing your self-awareness, and help you build a tolerance for distress and ambiguity.

Many clients come to therapy feeling anxious, disconnected, or unsure of how to balance self-expectations and others’ needs. I offer a warm, affirming, and trauma-informed space where we can gently untangle what feels heavy, build self-trust, and reconnect with what truly matters to you. My approach integrates psychodynamic, person-centered, mindfulness, solution-focused, and relational methods to create real, sustainable change. Whether you’re navigating identity shifts, relationship patterns, burnout, or self-doubt, we’ll move at your pace, with curiosity and compassion.

I am in-network with Wellpoint, Aetna, BCBS, and UHC/Optum.
You’re carrying a lot—maybe from things that happened years ago, or maybe from the pressure of trying to keep everything together right now. You want to feel like yourself again—or maybe for the first time. You want to stop overthinking, start setting boundaries, and trust that your emotions make sense. You’re tired of white-knuckling your way through. You want therapy that feels real and helps you get unstuck—not something surface-level or one-size-fits-all.
