Dealing with the day-to-day stress of mental health symptoms can feel isolating and at times impossible. Stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma can feel like it is getting in the way of personal growth and living life to the fullest.

I have immediate in-person and virtual openings. I work with people individually or relationally who are committed to learning and development. Together, we'll improve communication patterns and relationships skills; deepen or build your purpose and joy for living; create a life that is more in alignment with your desires and values; foster the care and respect you want; consider and support your identity and its full expression; and manage challenges with more skill and confidence. Living intentionally, including being in therapy, isn't always easy. But it's often far more satisfying than repeating our outdated habits.

Hi! A few things to know about me - I believe each person is doing the best they can with what they have, and have a passion for working with those who wish to learn how to best use their strengths effectively to reach their goals. I enjoy working with adults seeking to learn more about themselves, including the patterns that may have stopped working for them. Few things feel more honorable than sitting with those who are open to challenge themselves, while honoring their needs, wants and goals. I love working with those with the desire to continue growing through every chapter of life.

Just like every client is different, every therapist is different, and it's important to find someone who you like working with. We might be a good match if you are someone who is willing to try new things, as a lot of therapy is thinking about things in a different way. We could be a good fit if it's important to you that you can talk to your therapist about anything and not feel judged. I value creating a shame-free environment where clients can truly speak. Also we might be a good match if you enjoy humor in your sessions. Therapy shouldn't be all miserable. I aim for 25% miserable, tops.

Therapy can be such a worthwhile endeavor. Bring some motivation and willingness to try new things, and I will invest with you in the process of feeling better and knowing yourself more. I love supporting folks who are ready to do the work. I value active participation and will do more than talk and listen. Also, I am a queer therapist who specializes working with fellow LGBTQIA+ folks, I’m well versed in trans/nonbinary experiences, and I have worked in our communities for several years. I also work with parents who are raising gender diverse kids. And, I am a experienced licensing supervisor through the Board of Social Work.
