Are you struggling with anxiety, burnout, injury, self-esteem, or life/career transitions? You are not alone! My speciality is working with performance-based populations: military, athletes, and performers. The pressure to maintain peak physical and mental readiness to achieve high levels of success, whether through operational missions, winning competitions, or delivering flawless performances can lead to emotional distress. These mental health struggles are often compounded by a culture that prioritizes physical achievements over mental health, making it difficult for these populations to seek help.

Time and time again, I have witnessed the transformative power of authentic self-connection. It can lead to relief from anxiety and depression, regaining a sense of self, and more. As an Art Therapist, my wish is to empower you to tap into your creativity and use it as a tool for self-expression and healing while gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and my goal is to empower you to tap into your inner resources. My therapeutic approach combines humor, curiosity, and compassion with a healthy dose of "telling it like it is".

If you are experiencing a difficult transition, relationship issues, work/life balance concerns, low self-esteem or, if you are in pain, feeling stuck, or simply want to move in a new direction with your life, I would like to help.
I began working as a therapist in 1995 and currently work with individuals who struggle with all sorts of issues that hinder one's ability to feel balanced, connected or fulfilled. In this work, I especially enjoy the exploration and collaboration that occurs in a safe, nonjudgmental setting as we work toward resolution and healing.

Over the course of our lives, we are told stories about ourselves. Oftentimes those stories aren't true. Sometimes they're harmful. Usually they get in the way of us being able to truly understand ourselves and grow in the ways we want to. I work with clients to explore the stories they hold about themselves, their own definition of mental wellness, and the tools that might help them to move toward it. I am excited to offer individuals, partners, families, and friends a sacred, therapeutic space to sift through those stories, where they come from, and whether they serve you or block you from a fuller taste of joy.

I specialize in helping clients navigate relationship challenges, queer identities, difficulties with family members, acceptance of self, intimacy, chronic illnesses, and transitional life changes. Situating yourself as a unique person in a complex world is hard, especially when you try to do it alone, and asking for help takes courage. I’m here to help you figure out the hard stuff, cancel out the noise, and delight in the joy.

As a clinical psychologist, I help clients gain clarity and to find resolution to seemingly insurmountable issues and problems. I specialize in treating adults throughout the life cycle who have anxiety, eating disorders, depression, and/or relationship issues. By providing a compassionate and validating environment, clients are empowered to identify their needs and the means to get those needs met. I believe that each individual has their own voice and that therapy can facilitate its strengthening and emergence as a guiding force.

—Accepting new clients March 2025— I view clients as whole people in the context of their lives. You are more than a diagnosis! My typical client is smart, hard on themselves, anxious, experiencing change, dealing with interpersonal conflict, and/or just going through it. I also specialize in couples 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'm LGBTQ+/hetero/poly/monog/ENM/ace/kink-friendly and am ever-working to recognize and overcome my racial blindspots to support BIPOC.

Exhausted by your loud inner critic? Overwhelmed by your neverending to-do list? Despite looking like you have your sh!t together, internally you may feel like a scattered fraud cosplaying as a human. Trying to be the perfect friend, perfect professional, or perfect partner all at once is exhausting. Maybe there's a deeper wound that hasn't healed yet.

If you want to stress less & live authentically without fear or guilt, I’d love to help you step into your power.

Through long-term therapy, we work to build self-awareness, heal attachment wounds, and foster emotional resilience so you can move forward with clarity, purpose, and strength.

Are you a struggling with feeling good enough? Maybe you feel so much pressure to do everything perfectly, and put everyone else's needs before your own that you are left feeling exhausted, anxious & alone.
