You deserve to feel better and to see real benefits from therapy. Oftentimes we are looking for insight and tools to help us feel better, but we’re not sure where to look or what to try. Feeling disconnected to yourself or others, worrying too much, feeling stuck or avoiding certain aspects of life can be common experiences but they don’t have to define our lives. Together we will assess your concerns and develop a tailored plan that will help improve your quality of life and yield lasting change.

I am a therapist who enjoys supporting teens, young adults, and women through anxiety, life transitions, postpartum challenges and identity shifts. I meet you where you are- with compassion and curiosity to help you reconnect with your authentic self. I offer a culturally responsive and safe space for BIPOC clients navigating multiple identities.
In addition to talk therapy, I provide walk-and-talk eco-therapy sessions for those who feel more grounded in nature.

Whether you’re faced with a new problem or you’ve been doing your best to survive for a long time, I’m proud of you. You made it here. You’re searching for help. You’re taking a step, and that makes all the difference.
I want to learn about you: Who you are, what matters to you, what experiences made you you, and what you’d like your life to be like. I truly believe that you already possess a set of skills and strengths that has led you this far. Using your strengths as the foundation, I can teach you some evidence-based tips and tricks and partner with you as you reach your goals.

The greatest gifts you can give yourself is healing and self-acceptance. As a therapist, I view myself as a fellow traveler in your hero’s journey; you will be met with unconditional support, curiosity, safety, and compassion, alchemizing experiences into something magical and meaningful. Pulling from person-centered, narrative, anti-oppression, ACT, humor, DBT, logotherapy, and existential theories to assist in processing our inner and outer world while designing a tool kit to align actions and values. Not using treatment to dismiss or ignore injustice, learning ways to “dance in the moonlight” in spite of the darkness.

Navigating life changes, relationships, self-esteem, and personal identity can be difficult while also trying to find your place in the world. Therapy can help explore all of these areas and bolster a sense of personal agency and self-empowerment. I specialize in working with teens and young adults. I believe that every person has the natural desire to grow, and that is what therapy with me is all about: personal growth. I hope to help you identify and work through the challenges you are facing, gain insight into barriers, and find solutions to improve your quality of health and relationships.

I believe that each person is deserving of fulfillment in every relationship. My ideal client is wanting to be more aware of relational patterns so that they can recreate the moments they desire most. My goal is to help people feel heard and accepted within their relationships. I do this through creating an environment where differences are appreciated and authentic choices can be identified to maintain connection.

Therapy is a space for growth, clarity, and connection. My ideal client is navigating depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, grief, life transitions, or sport/professional performance difficulties. They may be high performers, caregivers, justice-involved, or neurodivergent individuals facing systemic barriers. They’re seeking clarity, emotional regulation, and practical tools. They want a therapist who works collaboratively to better understand their lived experience. Their goals often include healing, improving relationships, and navigating work or performance demands with greater confidence, awareness, and self-compassion.

I help individuals develop the skills to manage anger and regulate their emotions. Is anger ruining your relationships, family life, or career? Maybe your partner has expressed that they or your children are afraid of you? With over 6 years of experience working with anger management clients in a clinical setting, I can help you gain control over your anger. Many people find themselves trapped in a cycle of frustration and reactivity, where emotional triggers lead to outbursts. This pattern can harm relationships, whether it's with a partner, family member, friend, or co-worker.

I believe that most people, at some point in their lives, face challenging issues such as job or family stress, relationship issues, death, or illness. My philosophy as a practitioner is to help those dealing with such issues to find support and help in facilitating change where it is needed in order to relieve some of the strain and enhance life experiences. My style is compassionate and individualized. While therapy should always be a forward progress, the pace of each person's therapy should be suited to the individual.

I have a particular interest in helping people find meaning and healing after experiences of spiritual or religious trauma. I work with individuals and couples (straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, and queer) who are exploring intimacy, sexuality, identity, and the effects of depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges. As both a therapist and a gay man who has walked his own path of faith and self-acceptance, I bring empathy, curiosity, and authenticity to the work we do together. My goal is to help clients unpack shame, rejection, or loss of belonging and move toward a sense of wholeness and peace.

I enjoy helping people to feel more control over their lives. I am very curious about people’s stories. How can we edit our thoughts to feel better? Is there a different way to think about this problem? Sometimes I use humor to lighten the mood, but I will always uphold professional boundaries. In fact, I love to teach ways to set clear boundaries in our families and our workplaces. I have worked with many trauma survivors, and they describe feeling less trapped in shame spirals, with more confidence and fewer flashbacks. I treat both children and adults.
