Maybe this is your first time looking into therapy, or maybe you're jumping back in- no matter where you're at, I would be honored to work with you. Life's obstacles can create a tangled web of emotions: fear, stress, frustration, despair, and confusion. Whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, work-life balance, or exploring our identity, sometimes we need a supportive space to help us navigate these challenges and the emotions that come with them. Therapy provides that safe environment so we can grow from those challenges using evidence-based interventions.

I started my career as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, working and leading teams for the International Space Station and a satellite mission. Wanting to work more closely with people, I switched to business strategy consulting, traveling to Fortune 100 companies on a weekly basis for two years. While I got the chance to solve complex problems, I realized I wanted to help people solve the problems that mattered to them at a deeper level. This, coupled with my own recovery journey, is what drives me to do exceptional therapy work today.

We all imagine a life worth living. We hope to get up each and every day with a clear sense of purpose and self-worth. And sometimes, life becomes overwhelming. The day to day tasks of living may feel insurmountable, and we may even consider giving up or running away from it all. We are pulled in so many directions and feel out of the driver’s seat in our own lives. Relationships we once valued seem meaningless and activities that used to bring us joy no longer do. We need to be reminded of who we are and our value to this world. We all want to be heard, understood and validated.

What would it feel like to stop pretending you’re fine—and finally exhale?
You may look like you have it together while anxiety, overthinking, burnout, or an inner critic runs the show underneath. Maybe you’re navigating a relationship, identity, career stress, or another major life shift. You’re self-aware and can often explain the “why,” but still feel stuck in the same patterns. You’re ready for therapy that feels real, useful, and tailored to you.

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.

My background is deliberately broad: LGBTQ+ and transgender-affirming care, training in sexuality and sexology, substance use and recovery, and complex clinical work.
Im at my best with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure what comes next. A lot of the people I work with are dealing with trauma, anxiety, questions about identity, relationships, big life changes, or the experience of being marginalized. I'm comfortable with complicated feelings, complicated relationships, and complicated histories, and I'll help you make sense of your patterns without judging you. You don't have to know exactly what you need from therapy before you reach out. We can figure that out together. And if sitting and talking has never quite worked for you, we'll find something that does.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist, and work with high-functioning individuals who are struggling in adulthood after seemingly normal (but subtly dysfunctional) upbringings. You may resonate with growing up in a family that looked great on the outside but struggled on the inside–only compounding the confusion of whether something was really missing that created struggles later in life. IFS is a strengths-based model that goes deeper than talk therapy, and is a powerful way to connect the dots and free you from patterns and wounds interfering with your growth.
