Are you feeling like it's finally time to discover if you have ADHD? Or get serious about living with the ADHD you've ignored? People see you as confident and hard-working, but on the inside you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, worried that any day now, people will see the "real" you and be disappointed. You've spent years working to build a solid reputation, but can't shake the voice in your head convincing yourself to do just one more thing to achieve success. Sitting amongst the debris of yet another new project, you're tired from the hustle and starting to lose hope that anything could be different. It's time for a change.

You're calm on the outside, but inside is a rollercoaster of anxiety and stress. Overthinking and worrying runs your life and feeling relaxed seems impossible. No matter what you do, you feel overwhelmed with emotion or you numb out and feel nothing. You've been called "too sensitive", your self esteem is low, or feel like you're too much for people in your life. Maybe something happened in your past that still affects you and you wish you could get over it. Trauma and emotions feel trapped inside and you feel like you're in survival mode 24/7. You're tired of feeling this way and you're ready for a shift in how you experience life.

My practice is deeply grounded in a humanistic, antiracist, systemic, intersectional framework as well as feminist, queer, and multicultural orientations.
As a therapist with multiple intersecting identities, I understand our mental states are products of our social and environmental states. I aim to work collaboratively with the client to help access the strengths and resources they inherently possess. My areas of clinical interest include anxiety, depression, substance use, life transitions, grief, stress, trauma and identity concerns. I have a particular interest in supporting those who are LGBTQIA+ identified and other marginalized and oppressed populations.

What dreams do you want to manifest? What does your inner child want you to know? What parts of yourself want to be awakened? The prolonged impacts of trauma can feel like looking into a distorted mirror and wondering, "Who am I?" Wherever you are in life, I meet you with guidance to empower you to reject a false self so that your true self is accepted. Accepting yourself may mean accepting your feelings, identity, perspective, values, and authentic inner nature! I believe you have the power within to manifest changes in your unique reality. I primarily work with LGBTQ+ people, trauma survivors, children, youth, and young adults.

I have had the honor of working with a wide range of populations and ages, providing a depth of knowledge in adoption, LGBTQ issues/exploration, domestic violence, domestic abuse, anxiety, depression, sexual assault, PTSD, kink affirming care, and sex work.
At times life can feel heavy and overwhelming. It can feel like you aren’t capable of managing whatever difficult things you are being challenged with. This is where therapy can help unravel what can feel like chaos and provide a space for you to find your own voice in all the noise. Though change can be challenging and uncomfortable, I am here to walk alongside you to create prompt, intentional, effective, and long-lasting change.
