Relationships have the potential to be great sources of meaning and connection, and yet, sometimes they can be confusing and stressful. Together we can name, process, and explore things that may keep you feeling stuck, like systemic barriers, abuse, traumatic experiences, relationship patterns, and self-limiting beliefs. I provide respectful curiosity to help clients strengthen bonds and gain clarity around their relationship norms and expectations, as well as establish their own sense of personal responsibility. I am especially drawn to supporting caregivers of all kinds, including physicians, nurses, parents, and other therapists.

You feel the weight of old wounds—childhood hurts, family patterns, the sense you’re never quite “enough.” Maybe anxiety keeps you on alert, or you notice the same conflicts showing up in your relationships. Parenting, partnering, or simply showing up as yourself can feel exhausting.
I help adults heal those hidden injuries so they can live from a place of authenticity and self-compassion. Together we’ll work gently but deeply, using somatic and relational approaches like Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

I work with clients ages 12 and up. I have special passions for treating folks struggling with negative self talk, symptoms of post traumatic stress, self harm, and suicidal ideation: if you feel like life isn't worth living, I want to explore that with you. Instead of shutting it down, let's built a life you DO experience as worth living. As a transgender and autistic therapist I love to work with clients looking to explore and process gender, sexual orientation, and/or neurodivergence.

Suffering. Sooner or later we all experience varying degrees of suffering. The world can be harsh and painful, especially when understanding is hard to find. Sometimes burdens become too great to carry alone. When searching for help you want someone caring to understand your struggle and unique situation. I work with people who are seeking help and treatment with life situations that are causing them distress either mentally, emotionally, physically and/or relationally.

You appear to be functioning, but inside, you're tired. Maybe it's anxiety, maybe grief, maybe the weight of everyone else's needs. Either way, you keep going.
High-functioning, for many of my clients, doesn't mean achievement, it means survival. You're the one people count on, even when you're running on fumes. Whether it's rooted in cultural expectations, family dynamics, achievement pressure, or simply not having a safety net, you've learned to push through exhaustion because resting didn't feel like an option. I specialize in helping women who feel emotionally maxed out, yet still carry the weight of the world.
