You know that you have meaningful gifts to offer, but that potential can feel hard to reach. You get by as best you can, but you wonder how other people do it- meet the needs of family, communities, and larger collectives while also creating space to tend to grief, fear, inspiration, and deeper wells of being. You have grown through many of life’s challenges. But this threshold of life is one that calls for more support. Life is impermanent, what you do with it matters, and there’s no time to waste not getting the care you need to be who you came here to be.

Welcome! What a gift you are giving yourself by seeking out support during this time in your journey. Let's explore whether we share an alignment and safety in doing the hard work of unpacking your concerns and questions. What I have learned is that most of us have an idea about who we are and how our childhood or our lived experiences have shaped us. We also are built with an internal healer, and therapy can be a powerful tool as a kind of emotional sonogram, revealing what can use some attention.
It is important to find support, and I have a longer lived experience with a diverse educational background. I am happy to support you.

An ideal client would be someone who has possibly done some therapy work in the past, and still feels stuck in the area of relationships, addictions, trauma, grief or loss or someone who has never been to therapy previously. There are many places to get stuck in life, I find it interesting to find ways out of that place.

I view clients as whole people in the context of their lives. You are more than a diagnosis. My typical clients are smart, hard on themselves, overwhelmed, experiencing or considering change, dealing with interpersonal conflict, or just going through it. I also specialize in relationship counseling for committed partners who want to improve communication, feel more loved, work as a team instead of against each other, or finally get unstuck from an old issue or dynamic. I provide queer/hetero/poly/monog/ENM/ace/kink-friendly counseling and strive to create a welcoming environment for all.

My goal as a therapist is to help participants uncover their inner strength and ability to adapt to challenging life experiences. I enjoy creating new relationships based on the common goal of growth and I always attempt to make therapy an enjoyable experience, whether working with an 8 year old or a 59 year old! I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as well as the opportunities for nature and therapeutic activities to increase personal growth. Most importantly, I believe in the ability for positive change to occur with an individual who is dedicated to this pursuit.

Maybe you're tired of overthinking, holding everything together, or feeling like you have to edit yourself to be accepted. I work with adults navigating anxiety, panic, addiction/recovery, identity, relationships, and life transitions. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients and people who have spent years feeling different, misunderstood, or “too much.” My approach is warm, direct, compassionate, and grounded in Fourth Wave feminist principles. Together, we'll understand the patterns keeping you stuck, build practical tools for change, and make room for you to become more fully yourself.

Availability for In Person and Telehealth Counseling.
I work with deeply perceptive and unique people. Seekers, feelers, creative ones, many that identify as neurodivergent and have always sensed there's more beneath the surface of things. Thos who've spent a lifetime masking to fit a mold that was never quite theirs and want to start living more authentically. Many arrive feeling pulled between the mundane demands of life and perhaps a quieter, or more authentic way of being that they've learned to mute. They're tired of performing wellness and ready for something more integrative. A path that honors both the psyche and the soul.

Being human and experiencing suffering is inevitable. Yet, most of us have been conditioned to believe there must be something “wrong” with us if we are dissatisfied in our lives, struggling, or if we are in pain. In this way, life has a particular way of making us feel inadequate and alone. Therapy offers a unique opportunity for you to bring all of your depth and complexity into a space that acknowledges your humanity and is actively curated to attend to you. My orientation and training is informed by modern psychoanalysis: an approach that relies heavily on the therapeutic relationship as a form of technique and path to healing.

We all need help with our personal suffering and relationship challenges. I work with individuals and couples meeting them with warmth, directness and steady care. For over 19 years as a therapist and 30+ years as a fellow explorer of personal and spiritual growth, I've learned that real change comes from seeing our patterns clearly and practicing something new, not just talking about them.

I’m an integrative therapist with nearly two decades of experience helping clients heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. My approach weaves together the best of Eastern and Western traditions—including clinical psychology, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and energy medicine—into a holistic, personalized process that honors the whole person. I believe that symptoms are not "problems to fix,” but signals pointing toward deeper needs, imbalances, and opportunities for transformation.

If you’re here, you know things aren’t okay and life feels unmanageable. Substance use and/or mental health disorders can hijack your life. I can help you get back into the driver’s seat. I can help you feel more empowered to access your innate inner strengths, and reach your fullest recovery potential.

Most people who come to therapy are grieving something. A relationship, a version of themselves, a life they thought they'd have. You don't have to have lost someone to feel the weight of loss.
I work with adults, teens, and families carrying that weight, especially those shaped by hard systems like foster care, incarceration, and schools that never saw their full story. My work is real, direct, and trauma-informed, built on years of walking with people through pain and into something steadier.
You don't need the right words or a clear plan. You just need to be willing to find out if this is a good fit.

Real change is possible. Successful therapy explores human life in its fullest sense - what we do, what we think, and what we feel - while being grounded in the deep experience of living in a human body. My primary therapeutic framework is called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which provides a rich, evidence-based, blend of mindful and somatic interventions, along with a strong cognitive and behavioral orientation. Together, my clients and I examine our deepest values, and how those values are expressed in how we live each day. Our lives are not problems to be solved - they are opportunities to flourish.

Life can be chaotic, stressful, full of transitions and trauma, like a rollercoaster, with ups and downs no matter what stage of life you are in. I am here to listen, to help you navigate life’s experiences in a nonjudgemental space in an inviting and comfortable environment where you can feel safe to be vulnerable, express and explore thoughts, feelings, and beliefs openly, explore aspects of depression or anxiety, and exploring self esteem or self worth issues, communication or family communication issues, family conflict, or exploring and processing the impact that trauma has on the past and the present.

Are you navigating a difficult period of change? A need to address unhelpful patterns? Maybe you feel crushed by the weight of political turmoil, frozen in grief, or unable to find balance in a stressful time. A part of you may resist change, relying on the security of routines you’ve outgrown. You may feel cornered by the pressures of life, leaving you feeling hopeless, exhausted, and isolated. As hard as it is, this discomfort can be a positive sign of upcoming growth. Change is an essential part of life; navigating it with intention requires flexibility and willingness to tune into our needs. It is my goal to support you in this.

We live in a world that constantly tells us we’re not enough—not attractive enough, not successful enough, not a good enough partner, too emotional, too needy... the list goes on. It’s no wonder so many of us find ourselves in relationships that echo those same messages, leaving us feeling either not enough or way too much. My clients are often navigating relationship confusion—wondering if their relationship is healthy, figuring out how to move on after a breakup, or asking themselves, should I stay or should I go? (shoutout to The Clash). They're ready to feel more confident, more grounded, and more like themselves again.
