Navigating the highs and lows of ADHD or managing the constant hum of anxiety that makes even small decisions feel overwhelming can be exhausting. You know your brain works a little differently and sometimes that feels like a strength, but other times it feels like it takes twice as much effort just to keep up. You may also be part of the LGBTQ+ community and know how tiring it can be to show up in spaces that don’t fully see or understand you. You want a therapist who understands neurodivergence and affirms your identity without question. Someone who can help you untangle the hard stuff and offer genuine support.

I help people break destructive patterns so that they can live with extraordinary energy and a passion for life. I have witnessed the incredible transformation that can occur when people choose to take action in their lives and release the thoughts and behaviors that do not serve them anymore. We focus on developing clear communication skills and specific mind-body practices that ensure that they can live with clarity. I bring more than 20 years of experience teaching mind-body practices such as yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, and vocal release.

I tend to work well with someone who yearns for understanding. Someone who may crave social interaction, but is not quite sure how to go about it. Someone who is developing their identity and consolidating their sense of self. Someone who wants more out of life but is not quite sure how to get it. Someone who feels lost and plagued with self-doubt. Someone who is not sure why they engage in the same self-defeating behaviors over and over and over. I am open to working with a wide diversity of clients who represent various sexualities, ethnicities, racial identities, genders, and ages.

You may be successful and high achieving on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed by past trauma, confusing relationship patterns, or major life transitions. You might struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty trusting others, anxious attachment, emotional burnout, or feeling disconnected from yourself despite everything you’ve accomplished.
Therapy can help you understand these patterns and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships—with yourself and with others.

As individuals with lives in constant flux, it can seem strange and feel scary to ask for assistance from other. Despite that fear, when we take that step and seek assistance in life, we open ourselves to wonderful possibilities and opportunities for growth and change. As a Counselor, I find personal growth can flow both ways during therapy. learn more about others and our respective worlds that empowers us to push past barriers that we thought were impossible to breach. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I find great joy in working towards change and growth for not only members of the community but our allies as well.

I love a good puzzle, and I specialize in people with complex presentations that need a unique blend of treatment techniques. I am an ideal fit for those who feel like they are stuck and have yet to find the help they are looking for. I take a transdiagnostic approach, meaning that I focus more on the pattern of symptoms than on one specific diagnosis. I see a wide range of presenting problems (including personality, mood, and anxiety disorders) and work to understand how all of the pieces of the puzzle fit together and how to best treat them. I will help you build a life worth living by investing in all the parts of you.

As a therapist, I believe in the power of supporting others in unlocking their inner potential, while defining their concept of joy or contentment based on their terms. I support people by utilizing therapy modalities (i.e., narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance & commitment therapy), rooted in strength-based practice and framed in multiculturalism.

You may have been thinking about therapy for a long time, but part of you feel unsure. Maybe you’ve learned to handle things on your own, or you’re used to being the strong one for everyone else. Even so, something in you knows you don’t want to keep repeating the same patterns, feeling the same emotional weight, or settling for a version of life that doesn’t fully reflect who you are.
Many of the people I work with come in feeling both ready and hesitant. They want someone they can genuinely relate to, someone who sees beyond the surface and understands the deeper layers of their experience.

Therapy is about telling the truth, healing old wounds, and making changes. One of my own changes was a midlife transition from philosophy professor to mental health counselor. My former profession shapes both how I work and who I serve.
Like some of my best students, many of my clients are too smart and sensitive for your own good. What should be your greatest strengths — insight and empathy — have turned against you as overthinking and anxiety. Let’s get your nervous system back on your side.
