Clients come to me to pursue their life dreams. Many know what they want, they are highly motivated, and simply need support to find the path they need to be on to build the lives they truly want (and deserve). I greatly enjoy watching people blossom into their true selves as they connect fully with their dreams, find their voice, renegotiate meaningful relationships and work through difficult emotions that in the past seemed to work against them. A majority of my clients are LGBTQ+ individuals, I have a passion for supporting people in my colorful community.

Welcome! I believe that one of the essential ingredients of change and transformative psychotherapy is the relationship between the individual and the therapist. Feeling understood and comfortable not only helps reduce one's symptoms, encouraging self-acceptance, but also leads toward deeper work which promotes lasting change and a deeper experience of one's unique self.

I have passion and experience working alongside youth, adults, and couples in navigating their overall mental health! Whether it's helping clients with depression decipher where their lack or misplaced motivation is coming from, finding ways to calm any level of anxiety (i.e. daily lingering anxiety to extreme levels where it feels crippling) that impacts a person on a daily life, understanding the levels of bi-polar and how to work with them, navigating familial issues such as divorce (teenage or adult children and parents), among other concerns!

You’re feeling stuck, unhappy with where your life is, afraid to make the next decision, or afraid that you’ve already made the wrong decision. You fight with the inner voice of doubt and anxiety every day and don’t know where to turn. You may look like you have it all together to anyone looking at your life from the outside, but you don’t feel successful. Covid-19, political unrest, and the changing climate have changed your outlook on the future. You aren't sure what you need to do, but you know that everything you have done so far hasn't worked.
