If you feel stuck in a loop with yourself, your partner, or somehow in all your relationships and endeavors; if you have grief that won't seem to leave you; if you have lost some faith in yourself and the world; if you want something more; or if you have been burned by therapy before but still hope it might help you find your way back to yourself, I hope you'll consider taking the risk to reach out.
I work with anyone motivated to make a shift and especially enjoy working with couples, queer folks, trans youth and their families, those healing from trauma, and families facing life-cycle transitions like divorce.

Do you know you need to make a change, but you’re not sure where to begin? Or maybe you’re not sure, what, specifically, you’d really like to be different—you may feel adrift and find it hard to know your own needs and emotions. All change tends to be stressful, difficult to initiate, and even more difficult to sustain. Sometimes taking the space to get a deep breath and sort out what it is that you really want can help you initiate changes that help you enjoy life and connect with others. Taking that time can give you the energy and clarity of mind needed to enact new ways of being that set you on the path that is right for you.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and valued. I will meet you where you are and take the time to understand your unique experiences, strengths, challenges, and goals. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and centered on building trust. Together, we will identify meaningful goals, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward positive change at a pace that feels right for you. I believe you are more than a diagnosis or difficult circumstance. Your voice matters, your experiences matter, and you do not have to navigate your journey on your own.

I have spent the last seven years working with underserved communities in trauma-informed care and throughout this time have learned the importance of fostering safety, trustworthiness, and transparency during sessions with my clients. Trauma and mental health issues can often make one feel like they have lost a sense of control in their life so my goal is to empower and assist my clients in regaining their autonomy. The client is the expert of their own experience and therefore comfortability and a working partnership between client and therapist is essential to attaining one’s goals through therapy.
