Many people seek therapy because something in their life isn't working, or because challenging emotions or past experiences are holding them back in some way. I help clients overcome their past, understand themselves, become mindfully present, and gain the confidence to make the choices that lead them where they want to go. I have specialized training and experience working with survivors of interpersonal violence, complex trauma and PTSD, and those living with chronic illness, as well as LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and non-traditional relationship structures such as ENM and Polyamory.

Many of us feel isolated, worried, overwhelmed, and stuck as we navigate the often conflicting demands of our personal, professional, and social worlds. We look at how we habitually respond under stress and are curious about trying something new. We wonder if it's possible to build new or deeper relationships, or bring calm to turbulent ones. We seek to find what ignites our own sparks after nurturing the sparks of others for so long...
