Starting out with a new therapist or beginning therapy for the first time can feel scary, maybe even downright terrifying. I offer a laid-back place to show up as you are without judgement, talk about the hard stuff that we inevitably experience through life, and maybe have a laugh or two in the process. I approach therapy as a collaboration. We are a team. You set the destination you want to get to, and I’m here to help you navigate.

Hello! As a psychotherapist, I will strive to connect with you, support you, and help you identify and achieve your goals. Therapy can be as simple as learning new tools, or it can be a more complex and deeper process. For example, anxiety and depression can be indicators of deeper wounds or that a person has gone off course in some way. In either case, working with me is a dance between treating problems and building on strengths. Whatever the nature of your therapy, I believe everyone has the power to heal, grow, and reach their full potential emotionally, intellectually and physically.

I believe that therapy is important for everyone. It is the one place that you can go and know that you can truly be who you are. You don’t have to pretend to be someone else. You can share the most sacred things that you are afraid to say out loud to anyone else because you worry about being judged. It’s that one space that you know that no matter what it is you can say exactly what you mean and you don’t have to worry about hurting someone’s feelings or having to say the right thing. You can just be you and know it will be ok.

“You are perfect as you are, and you’ve got to change.” Each one of us is a vast landscape of beauty and hardship, with so much to give and so much yet to experience. There are habits you’ve picked up, mistaken beliefs, cultural qualifiers which have clouded your vision and made it hard to remember who you are or where this all started. Grounded in antiracist, anticapitalist, and unique-self work, I lean into dark spaces with you to hold those tender inner parts in need of support. If you’re like many of my clients, you don’t just want to come back to equilibrium, you want to embody joy in your life.
