My practice celebrates those in fat and larger bodies, LGBTQIA+, queer and gender diverse communities, and neurodivergence.
You are someone who is self-aware and knows how to tell your story well. Maybe you’ve done traditional talk therapy in the past but are ready to try a different approach. I help those with a tendency to intellectualize reconnect with their emotions and body to support deep and meaningful change. Because of life experiences, we often develop coping mechanisms (responses) that were once adaptive but may no longer serve us in the present. Our work together can help you explore why you think, feel, and behave the way you do, while also inviting in qualities that may be a better fit for you in the here and now.

My approach is non-judgmental, caring, supportive, and direct to embrace: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, women's health, and LGBTQ+ issues.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, sad, or anxious. Fatigue, irritability, low self-esteem, or difficulty communicating sometimes impact your relationships with other people. You might want to be able to manage stress better, sort out difficult life decisions, explore challenges with your partner, or just be more at peace with life. You are looking for someone who can assist you on this journey.

Many people have questions or concerns about their sexuality, sexual identity, and sexual attractions. They wonder if their lack of desire for their partner can change, how they can feel more comfortable engaging in sex, whether their sexuality is "normal," and what their attractions mean about them. They may feel embarrassed talking to their doctor about erectile problems or sexual pain. As an AASECT certified sex therapist, I work with teens and adults to confront these fears, answer questions, and improve sexual self concept and sexual health.

Do you fit in? Your silent thoughts to yourself question whether others really understand you. It’s tough because you’ve tried so hard to reach out and be friendly and even demonstrate care and compassion for others. Nevertheless, you wonder if that same care get’s directed back at you. Sometimes it feels like you don’t fit in. Do you have questions about whether this means that there is something wrong with you? Probably not! In life, striving to fit in can be an empty pursuit. What if you could switch that and really feel that you belonged instead of just fitting in.

I view therapy as a form of self-mastery, a tool to better get to know the wholeness of your being. Therapy provides us an opportunity for tending to the mind as part of the body. I believe that the more you are able to know yourself, the wholeness and completeness of your being, the more equipped you are to tackle the challenges of today. My goal is for you to feel more complete after our sessions, equipped with the skills to know yourself better and to emotionally regulate in an ever-changing world. My role as a therapist is to partner with you on this journey to self-mastery.

The journey of finding a therapist that you feel safe and confident with can be overwhelming, but it is the brave first step towards your own healing. Through my travels I have come to appreciate how empathy and compassion are the key to happy and healthy lives, no matter what country or culture we find ourselves in. I believe that everyone deserves respect and validation and through my client-centered approach to therapy, I strive to provide a relaxed, gentle, and non-judgmental environment that allows my clients to feel safe and seen.

You're exhausted from trying to hold it together. No matter how hard you try, you constantly feel stuck. Your body holds onto trauma and stress, keeping you on constant alert, as if there's always a threat nearby. You question whether something is wrong with you and worry that you might be broken. It feels like you've lost your way, but you know there’s more to you than what you've been through. You're ready to heal and move beyond the past—you’re not giving up. This is your time for change, but you're unsure of where to start. You are ready to release the trauma trapped inside.

Do you struggle with feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or the challenges of embracing your true identity? Perhaps you find it difficult to navigate relationships, school, work, or life in general. Maybe you question whether things can ever get better, feeling lost or misunderstood. Now more than ever, teens and adults are grappling with these complex emotions and the weight of societal expectations. Ignoring these struggles often leads to deeper emotional pain and a sense of isolation. I believe that you deserve to live authentically and that change is possible.

Does that voice in your head keep you up at night? Do you ever replay the events of the day, wondering what you could have done, should have done, differently? At times, it may seem impossible to do it all and you may feel helpless to slow down the train. Underneath it all, you just want some balance, to be more present and enjoy the moments life has to offer. Yet no matter what you do, you can’t seem to find the joy and happiness that others appear to have. You really just want to know that everything is going to be okay.

Therapy doesn't have to last forever but the benefits will. Most issues people face are relational in nature. There are emotions and behaviors that are problematic. These might include feelings of shame, discontentment, apathy, anger or even numbness. The behaviors might range from avoidance to compulsive and addictive. Are you experiencing problems with yourself or others? In therapy, you'll learn to be challenged and gain tools to handle difficult feelings while making decisions to do the hard work to change behaviors.
