Are you going through transitions in your life? Or perhaps you are stuck and unsure how to move forward? Are you struggling with uncertainties, doubts, and perhaps some anxiety? If so, let's talk! I love to help clients who are going through major life transitions (such as endings or changes in current relationships), gender or sexuality questioning (LGBTQQ+), divorce, grief, career changes, and other challenging circumstances.

Hello! You are not alone. It can be challenging to navigate life transitions while trying to discover and understand your true authentic self. Symptoms such as hopelessness, inadequacy, lack of motivation, and racing thoughts can complicate matters more. Many people have also experienced trauma, which can create further barriers to self-growth. You are so courageous for taking this first step toward healing and taking back control of your life. I will create space for you that feels warm, empathetic, non-judgmental, and safe to process your thoughts and feelings while learning new skills to help you cope.

I believe as humans we must support each other on our life journey. I enjoy helping clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their thought patterns and emotions, relationships, and navigate and make sense of their world. I believe that clarifying what is important to each individual, their needs, and their goals, helps provide direction and purpose in life. I often help clients explore how past experiences, family dynamics, addiction, and personality affect how we relate and function in this world. I offer individual, couples, and family sessions.

I provide therapy to individuals that struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD and overall life dissatisfaction. We can collaborate to help you develop a greater sense of self and gain the confidence to be who you are. We can work together to identify the unhelpful patterns you find yourself in. It can be really frustrating to feel like we keep making the same mistake. Identifying these patterns can help you improve your mood, mitigate anxiety, and strengthen relationships. My approach leans psychodynamic with influence from Jungian psychology. But above all, I want to get to know you and what it would look like to heal.

Are you an ambitious BIPOC but fear you won’t have the energy levels or emotional stability to maintain your goals? Do you struggle with needing things to be perfect, doubt your abilities, stress, struggle to focus, or feel down on yourself? Feeling like a burden all the time & hiding parts of yourself makes you feel stuck. Time management is off and your once helpful routines are a distant memory. And still, you're doing the things you need to, but feeling exhausted, alone, & overworked is not sustainable. You know there's a better way to move through the world and you're ready to feel lighter, organized, supported, & sustainable.

For so many people, our childhoods were not "good enough, safe enough." Maybe our caregivers were tricky and lacked the capacity to allow us full human experiences as children, and now our bodies are holding that pain. For some of us, we bonded with what was available- substances, food, sex, pain. For all of us, our emotions and behaviors make sense within the context of who we are and what we've been through. And we have survived the worst. Some of our behaviors may not be helping the way they once did. Together, we can start fulfilling the unmet needs that are underneath those behaviors so that you can grow in meaningful ways.

Are you feeling so overwhelmed that you can’t seem to move forward? Maybe you’re struggling with feelings of sadness or disconnection, or you can’t quite figure out why things are so difficult right now. Navigating life in general is hard and it takes courage to seek help. I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step towards therapy can feel overwhelming and scary. I can provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you where you feel seen, heard, and accepted. I strive to do this by showing up authentically with warmth and compassion and using a person-centered, relational approach.

Growing up with expectations placed on our masculinity can feel like so much pressure, and can make us so hard on ourselves. That’s why I focus on creating a supportive, affirming connection with you in which you feel safe enough to really meet yourself, to discover that perhaps your struggles don't have to rule your life, and that you don't have to suffer this much. I'm a seasoned therapist with over a decade of experience AND a fellow traveler who knows what these stressors feel like- I've been there, too. I meet folks right where they're at with no judgement and help them develop skills that enable meaningful change.

You are looking for the opposite experience of what I had with my first therapist: stuffy, pretentious, and hypocritical advice from someone that didn’t know or understand me. You are on a therapy directory, which could mean you are already on your journey to closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Excruciating can be an understatement of how painful this gap can be. I’m sure you have already tried many things. I may not be the first therapist you have seen or considered working with about this. I know you need a different experience than what you have had.

What does it REALLY mean to be holistic and integrative? It means - you are a universe of different thoughts, quirks, capabilities, physical attributes, emotions, neurological functions, shortcomings, and strengths. It means problems aren't created - or solved - in a vacuum. In order to truly heal, we have to address the relationships between mind, body, spirit, and emotions. We have to consider the Universe. I work with members of all faiths (Christian or not) to restore the connection between mental health, physical health and spiritual health.

Are you haunted by the past? Do upsetting memories interfere with your present-day experiences? Maybe you instinctively know that you over-react to situations that trigger intense feelings from your past. You just want to forget about it and move on. However, your emotional over-reactivity has been impacting your relationships, your job, and your overall sense of well-being. Perhaps you have avoided therapy because you don't think talking about it will help. If this is your story, then I can help. The model of therapy I use does not require you to talk about your upsetting memory. You get to decide what to share if anything at all.

If you are feeling lost, exhausted, frustrated, or not sure of your next steps we can sit together in the messy. Empowering you and helping you understand your humanness while being supported by the community you choose is my only goal.
