I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help people improve their mental health. I believe that each person deserves treatment tailored to their experience and needs. In session, I help people change patterns of unhealthy thoughts or behaviors and examine meaning of life experiences. As a counselor, I am open-minded, analytical, and casual while allowing space for challenging clients to improve their lives. I practice from an informed consent perspective aimed at reducing barriers to care and emphasizing bodily autonomy. This often involves writing letters of support for medical transition services.

Finding your ‘Aha’ moment is something we can strive for together. I truly believe in the power of self, while also empowering, validating & advocating for you to tell YOUR story.

At some point in our lives, many of us look around and realize we no longer like the life we've built - or maybe even who we've become while living it. We may even know we should like it, but somehow it no longer fits. I build relationships with clients, creating a safe place to express and explore these feelings. Therapy creates change by examining the experiences, patterns, thoughts, and energy that contribute to feeling stuck. I love working with clients to address the issues holding them back so they can create a life and self that excites them again.

Relationships require continued trust, communication, and deep awareness of each other’s worlds. I work with couples, including polyamorous and non-monogamous, to build connection, trust, and intimacy in their relationships. I also help partners learn to manage conflict more effectively. I particularly love helping partners find ways to communicate about difficult and sensitive issues. This is especially important when partners struggle to connect around sexual wants and needs. These conversations need an atmosphere of trust, acceptance, and non-judgment, as partners learn to validate and respond to each other's sexual feelings.
