Feeling stressed and stuck? From the outside, it may seem like you have everything together, but inside you might be carrying anxiety, self-doubt, or exhaustion. Work, relationships, and daily stress can leave you overwhelmed, caught in cycles of overthinking, burnout, or people-pleasing. Beneath it all may be a desire to feel more grounded, authentic, and connected to yourself. Together, we'll slow down, create space for what's beneath the surface, identify the patterns keeping you stuck, and build new pathways toward greater clarity and lasting change.
My practice is fully affirming of LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and partners—including poly, ENM, open relationships. My approach blends person-centered care, neuroscience, and trauma-informed therapy. I work with clients navigating life transitions, LGBTQ+ identity and relationships, depression, anxiety and existential concerns. I also offer EMDR for trauma.
Whether it’s your first time or you’re beginning again with someone new, starting therapy can feel vulnerable. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and accepted just as you are. Reach out and let’s find a time to meet to answer questions you may have.
