My people are adults, kids, & teens who are done pretending that everything's fine. That includes Black and brown clients healing from racial trauma, LGBTQIA+ folks needing a therapist who gets it, gamers tired of being pathologized, and people wrestling with depression, grief, ADHD, or family chaos. They come when the usual coping isn't cutting it anymore. With 30+ years of experience, I bring warmth, humor, and zero judgment. All of you belong here. Welcome.
I practice trauma-informed therapy rooted in psychodynamic depth — connecting past patterns to present struggles, making the unconscious conscious for lasting change. My work is body-aware, culturally grounded, and built on a real therapeutic relationship. I offer online therapy across ten states. I am a gender-affirming care practitioner.
Starting therapy takes guts. If you've been carrying something heavy, your best coping efforts brought you exactly here — and that's worth honoring, not judging. Curiosity alone is enough to begin. I believe in the healing power of play, the Buddhist truth that suffering is workable, and that you deserve a space that's honest, warm, and genuinely yours.

Self-pay offers privacy and freedom — no diagnosis required, no third-party case managers, no insurance company deciding when you're done. Insurance can offset costs but comes with real trade-offs. I accept out-of-network benefits and provide superbills to help you seek reimbursement.

Whether you're a gamer navigating a misunderstood inner world, a young person in the midst of identity formation, or an LGBTQ individual carrying the weight of a culture that wasn't built for you — this work goes beneath the surface. Together we explore unconscious patterns, reclaim what's been buried, and build a more integrated, authentic sense of self. Change at this depth can often be lasting.

My approach weaves together psychoanalytic depth, family systems, narrative, and trauma-focused work — always through a social justice lens. Sessions may involve play, expressive techniques, or exploring your digital world as meaningful text. Culturally sensitive and attachment-based at the core, this is therapy where identity, embodiment, and the full complexity of who you are shape the work
