As a mindfulness and somatic-based therapist, I offer powerful tools of transformation for people to open to, heal with, and befriend all parts of themselves. My therapeutic approach centers on creating the space for each individual to discover ways to utilize their innate untapped wisdom as an ally in their healing. I believe mindfulness and somatic-based interventions are accessible to anyone to help investigate and transform core beliefs and re-evaluate thought patterns. I aim to facilitate an experiential, relational, somatic, and person-centered experience for my clients integrating Somatic Experiencing® techniques, mindfulness-based psychotherapy, and meditation.

Psychotherapy is a powerful tool for change, and that thought can inspire hope. I am a psychotherapist with over 10 years experience and training.

Each person brings his or her own history and problems to my office, and in an atmosphere of safety and empathy, we work together using inspiration and insight to help uncover each person's unique self.

Have you started to realize that you're not coping as well as you would like with the stress of daily life? That a pattern is emerging with how you manage your personal choices or relationships. Or that your child's emotions and behaviors have been particularly intense and difficult to manage lately. Perhaps your life has shifted and you are experiencing a change that you are struggling with adjusting to? While a variety of situations bring the clients I work with to therapy, we will work together so that you can make specific changes to experience each day with a more self-aware and functional presence.

My concept of therapy is thinking together with someone about their experiences and their relationships in a compassionate and respectful environment. You can expect our work together to uncover what’s missing in the ways you know and understand yourself. Witnessing is powerful. I believe in the therapeutic relationship’s capacity to engage with the unknown. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy has a way of integrating the unconscious with past and present life experiences. Talk therapy promotes a deeper understanding of how to relate and how to be in the world. “The words are purposes. The words are maps.” -Adrienne Rich

Although at times it seems like a daunting task, I believe that every individual has the potential to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Anyone who is courageous enough to begin therapy has taken the first step towards trying to achieve this.

In a safe and supportive environment we can work together to overcome obstacles that are standing in the way of you achieving personal fulfillment.

These are difficult and important times that we can choose to inspire us toward personal growth.

Thus, you will be able to find solutions and abilities you didn't know you had to overcome your trauma and loneliness, as well as finding strength and hope.

Sexual problems are difficult to talk about for most people and can cause great distress. Sex therapy is designed to put people at ease so that they can feel as comfortable as possible talking about these problems and to find practical solutions. Some of the typical problems I work with include specific sexual dysfunctions (e.g., premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, difficulties with orgasm) and more general problems such as lack of sexual desire, sexual orientation and gender issues, unusual sexual behaviors, shyness and social inhibition.

I believe that therapy is a space to tell your unique story, where your lived experience will be received, honored, and validated without judgment. I support clients through a variety of challenges, such as exploring identity, navigating transitions, strengthening relationships, processing trauma, and coping with stress. As a queer, gender non-binary therapist, I am particularly passionate about providing sexuality- and gender-affirming therapy to queer and trans clients of all ages. I prioritize queer joy and gender euphoria in the therapeutic space, and strive to create a safe haven for clients to explore their identities.
