As humans, I believe our past experiences have shaped who we have become, unconsciously informing the decisions we make, the relationships we enter, and the way we feel and interact with the world around us. In some instances, this can cause individuals to become stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, experience low self-worth, and struggle to participate in a fulfilling life. I believe counseling can help individuals gain awareness and identify feelings to eliminate or reduce the severity of symptoms. Therapeutic relationships can help identify and change relationship patterns, with a goal of experiencing a satisfying life.

I am primarily an IFS therapist specializing in work with the LGBTQIA+ community. Therapy in my office is about amplifying your authentic voice over all the noise. Anti- racism and fighting all oppression is central to my practice. I’m neurodivergent and love working with others who fall into this category (with or without an “official diagnosis”).

Day after day, moment after moment, you feel stuck—like you’re supposed to be moving forward, but you’re not really getting anywhere. You’re successful, but that success hasn’t brought the sense of purpose you were hoping for. On the outside, it might seem like you have it all together. But on the inside? You feel like you’re on the verge of falling apart. You’re unsure of who you are, drained by the demands of daily life, and sometimes, you even feel like an imposter.

As we have all quickly learned, to partake in the full human experience means to experience suffering. Whether it be grief, excessive guilt, or a painful past, we all have pain that is worthy of being listened to. I believe our struggles are only exacerbated when we resist and don't listen to what needs to be expressed.

Mental health is part of your physical health. You cannot have one without the other. No one is exempt from facing mental health struggles at one time or another in their life. It is not uncommon during times of mental health struggles, either it be an isolated incident of panic, short-term and long-term anxiety, tragedy, situational depression, or circumstances that were out of your control that caused you to have a "new normal." Therapy will alleviate these stressors through a process of personal insight, change, and opening your eyes to a new way of seeing your life and how you react to it.

I have seen both professionally and personally how transformative the therapeutic process can be when seeking change, growth, and healing. I focus on individuals and couples whose concerns may include anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship problems. My goal is to provide clients a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore and process their pain and help them reflect on how their experiences influence their perception of themselves, others, and the world. With empathy, understanding, acceptance, and encouragement, I work with clients on integrating changes so that they have the tools they need to live a happy and healthy life.
