I love working with folks who are struggling in relationships, feeling hurt or let down by others. Many of us have been impacted by generations of unaddressed mental health, addictions, abuse, poverty, or other struggles, it can be so helpful to explore how the past is impacting the present. The state of the world can be completely overwhelming and anxiety inducing. We can do so much to help you find relief.

My ideal clients are ready for real change. They're tired of feeling stuck in anxiety, self-doubt, trauma, unhealthy relationship patterns, or fear-based thinking. They value authenticity and want more than a place to talk—they want to understand themselves, learn practical tools, and create lasting change. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and build a healthier, more peaceful way of moving through life.

I work relationally and at depth, drawing from psychodynamic therapy and attachment-based approaches, with integration of AEDP, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and incorporation of 12-step principles in a non-prescriptive way.
You’ve built a meaningful life — career, stability, relationships — yet something inside feels harder to manage than it appears from the outside. You may be navigating stress, complicated patterns with food or alcohol, or relationship dynamics that repeat despite your insight and effort. Or you may simply sense that something in your internal world is asking for deeper attention.

Our therapeutic relationship is approached primarily through identifying and processing your life experience, body-based awareness, psychoeducation, and use of accelerated experiential dyadic psychotherapy ( AEDP) with somatic, mindfulness techniques.
Life is complex, but feeling alone can really make it feel intolerable. As a clinical social worker, my approach to mental health is rooted in unconditional positive regard and care, all based on a belief that we can heal from previous hurt and traumas. I delight in accompanying individuals through their life experience, processing the challenging emotions, and witnessing the emergence of relief, tolerating the myriad of emotions, and finding a life of thriving. I see the therapeutic relationship as a personalized, reparative dyad for discovering new ways of viewing yourself and connecting in relationships.

I welcome clients from all spheres of life & lived realities. I am currently accepting clients for individual, couples (including poly/non-monogamy), & group therapy. Most of my professional experience has been with communities that are underrepresented, under supported, economically limited, identify as BIPOC, neurodivergent, and/or LGBTQIA+. As a gay nonbinary person, I am especially passionate about working with folks from the queer community.

Whether you are just beginning or restarting your healing journey, reaching out for care can feel awkward, scary, and burdensome. I want to remind you that your reservation is normal, it's healthy, and it's welcomed. My therapeutic approach values undoing aloneness together, building safety in relationships, and finding compassion for the self, even in the face of suffering.

Suffering is meant to be shared ( AEDP).
People often come to therapy because they feel stuck: having the same argument repeatedly, struggling with decisions, feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or wondering why the same problems keep returning. Sometimes the problem has been misunderstood from the start, or the solution makes the problem. When pain, fear, exhaustion, conflict, or lack of traction lasts long enough, it can spread into relationships, plans, identity, and the future. Many problems persist when parts of life work against each other. The work is finding what would let those parts coordinate instead of compete.

I offer attachment-focused EMDR, an evidence-based modality for the treatment of complex trauma. EMDR can efficiently target debilitating psychological and physiological symptoms. Clients also tend to emerge from this process with markedly improved self-esteem, a personalized mental health “toolkit”, and a revised, empowering life narrative.

People come to therapy for many reasons. In the first few sessions, I want to get to know you--what you are struggling with, your hopes and fears for the future, what seems to be getting in the way, what strengths and assets you bring. Together, we arrive at a plan, identifying your goals, sources of distress, and how best to work toward symptom relief and greater satisfaction with life and relationships. My approach integrates several treatment modalities, including psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based therapies, life-span developmental approaches, attachment theory, family and couples therapy.

I use Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy ( AEDP) and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) in my work with clients.
My personal life journey has led me to a career of service to others. I taught high school English classes before moving to work as a school counselor. I am well-read and traveled, believing both experiences can unlock a deeper understanding of one’s self and one's voice. It is my aim to navigate life with you as we meet.

Your trauma is your superpower. Right now, it might feel like a cruel, relentless voice in your head, causing unbearable suffering, making you feel alone and lost ... like you can’t trust yourself. It hurts, physically and emotionally; it might feel like life will always be this way.
Our work together is a kind of alchemy: together, we’ll bring all the love, understanding, and skill we can muster to help the worst things you have experienced become the best things about you. We'll focus on bringing awareness, compassion, and understanding within, to parts of yourself that keep you feeling anxious, depressed, and not good enough.

Are you feeling disconnected in your relationships? Are you struggling with emotional intimacy, trust, communicating, or taking up space?
Relationships are at the heart of our well-being—but they can also be a source of confusion and pain. In my work, I help people reclaim their capacity to emotionally connect to themselves and others. Together, we'll explore relational dynamics, and how some challenging relational patterns may be rooted in past traumatic experiences. Through this process, we'll increase insight and begin to develop new ways of thinking and relating—ones that foster connection rather than conflict and distance.

Psychotherapy is something that happens between people...you and me. It is a process that I expertly and sensitively guide, but it is something that we experience together. Relationships, past and present, may be a source of pain, frustration, or fear...but they are also the key to unlocking your full potential. Together, we will work to alleviate your most pressing problems as well as to develop a fuller understanding of the deeper, underlying issues that keep you stuck in emotional and relational patterns that limit your capacity to more fully give and receive love.

I could use fancy words to describe what I do but what really matters to me is building authentic and trusting relationships. I make therapy a place of empathy, compassion, and trust. I hope that our time together deepens your belief in yourself as a whole person, bigger than what has happened to you. I love to work with activists, academics, community organizers, therapists, and people interested in linking personal healing and social change. I am a specialist in treating PTSD and I often integrate parts work and somatics into my sessions. I am always learning and I'm eager to get to know you.

I used a model of therapy called AEDP which focuses on healing and flourishing.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW 23383) and psychotherapist, with a focus on issues related to human sexuality. Connection, intimacy, desire, love, and joy are the things in life that enrich our human experience. When we struggle with these, life can feel very lonely. I believe that you have endless potential, but sometimes life can get in the way. My hope is to get some of the muck out of the way so you can be your best self on any given day.

Who is AEDP therapy for?
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is for adults who have experienced emotional pain in the past that, because it has not been adequately addressed and processed, interferes with current functioning. The problems might manifest in a number of different ways, from excessive anger to relationship difficulties to PTSD to eating disorders, poor self-esteem, and depression. They may also be accompanied by physiological symptoms. AEDP helps people accept and digest challenging emotional experiences.
Why do people need AEDP?
People need AEDP as a way to manage distressing emotions—including anger, shame, and guilt—that in some way hamper the ability to function and form satisfying relationships in the present. The therapist-client relationship is believed to provide corrective emotional and relational experiences that facilitate positive changes in brain function, forge pathways for processing traumatic experiences, and allow resolution of emotional pain.
What happens in AEDP therapy?
Once individuals have established a strong bond with the AEDP therapist and the therapist has established a safe and secure environment, clients are encouraged to explore their most painful emotional experiences. They may be asked to pay attention to disquieting body sensations as well as to psychological discomfort. Individuals learn how to process emotions, rather than avoid them. Through the strength of the therapist-client bond, each session is intended to provide a powerful positive experience for individuals, enabling growth.
What problems does AEDP treat?
AEDP is intended to treat the unprocessed emotional pain caused by earlier distressing experiences, which commonly includes behavioral avoidance of current situations and experiences for fear that they will reactivate painful feelings. Emotional pain and avoidant behavior play a role in a wide array of mental health conditions, which is why AEDP is applied to the treatment of a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and eating disorders.
