My clients typically enter therapy hoping to learn more about themselves, gain tangible coping skills, build meaningful relationships, and process & heal from trauma. They often experience one or more of the following: disordered eating, depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, panic attacks, neurodivergence, PTSD, exploring gender or sexuality (or both!), codependency, or PMDD. Recognizing the systemic roots of many presenting problems, I validate the past experiences of clients who have felt like therapy wasn’t for them and recognize the roles of privilege and politics in mental health. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

As people, we have a deep need to be understood, and one of the most profound ways to do this is in a safe, trusting, and affirming therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I work with individuals using a psychodynamic approach. My role as such is to help you identify your needs and put your inner experience at the center, engaging both mind and body, so that barriers to your well-being can be lifted. In my practice, I look to be responsive, collaborative, and affirmative when working with folks' intersecting identities and how those identities show up within the therapeutic relationship.

In my work, I love helping my clients nurture deep and compassionate connections with themselves, even the parts of themselves that may feel shameful or that they may have struggled to find kindness towards in the past. In therapy, we can partner to address many things, including exploring gender or sexuality, improving your relationship with substances, finding relief from anxiety, depression, or ADHD symptoms, addressing patterns in intimate relationships, healing past trauma, and much more.

I'm so happy you're here! While starting therapy can feel overwhelming, it's a great opportunity for personal growth and sifting through the parts of life that can feel heavy and sometimes impossible to navigate. There is so much possibility in what therapy can look like, and my goal is to collaborate with clients to find what works best for each individual. My background is in eating disorder treatment at partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care. I also have a background working with LGBQ+ and TGNCNB clients, people on the asexual spectrum, and parents of LGBTQ+ individuals.

I offer clients the opportunity to collaboratively examine their current lives, identify what is and is not working, and explore how things can change. We will bring the things just outside of awareness into focus and examine how they are perpetuating the patterns that are keeping you from living the life that you want. By doing so we can begin to change how you relate to yourself and others and eventually create change.

Insight is good, but change is better! If you are strugglng with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, you may have been "just living with it" for awhile. Ask yourself: "How would my life be different if I didn't feel this way?" Seeking support can be a scary step, but when you are ready for change, it can be an enjoyable process, even when it is hard work or explores painful issues. We can work together to determine the best way to achieve your goals in a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental environment.
