Connections and community are a vital lifeline during times of distress. Let's work together to be able to build skills that you can take with you outside of session. I understand those who are exhausted and want a change, who may feel scared or angry right now. Navigating childhood trauma, life transitions, or sex therapy does not have to be a lonely road. By creating a safe, gentle space, we can begin to emotionally and somatically process the pain you feel. You will take away life long skills for emotional regulation and will begin to feel harmony and balance.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve lost connection with yourself and the things that once brought you joy. If you feel stuck in patterns of dissatisfaction, uncertainty, or emotional struggle, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You may have done some important work already — learning to regulate, sitting with discomfort, and asking yourself, “Why do I keep repeating these patterns?” Maybe you’re navigating substance use or recovery, wrestling with past trauma, or trying to deepen your emotional connections — especially if you’re queer, questioning, or a man exploring what it means to feel and express emotions fully. If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. I work with motivated individuals who want to understand themselves more deeply, find relief, gain clarity, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Showing up for yourself is incredibly important, however prioritizing your own needs is often easier said than done. It can be especially challenging if you already feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, and/or lost. Through the therapeutic process, together we can navigate life transitions, explore difficult emotions, resolve conflicts, build on strengths, enhance coping skills, increase self-satisfaction, and gain new insights.

You and your partner have decided to give an open relationship a shot. Congratulations. And, oh shit! Old ways of communicating with each other aren’t working. You’re anxious and suddenly suck at supporting each other. You used to be a team. Now conflicts feel impossible to resolve. Your sex life has deteriorated, adding to growing resentments. Constantly embroiled in arguments over misunderstandings, the friction is tearing your relationship apart. You worry that you’re not going to make it as a couple. Jealousy, inadequacy and guilt have taken over. The pain this is causing your partner is too much bear.

These are uncertain times. Therapy can be an anchor as we all weather the unpredictable circumstances of our lives and the world around us. It can be a place to grow, heal, or make changes in your live that feel difficult. I work with clients who need help managing anxiety, are feeling sad or confused, or are going through a hard time. I see my job as sitting next to you, seeing the world through your eyes, and helping you come up with the plan that's right for you. I come from a relational and social justice perspective and bring tools from narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness based stress reduction.

Do you feel lost or uncertain what your "purpose" is? Do you long for a more authentic and joyful life, but struggle to take action? I'm here to help. I'm Tyler, a queer, trans & multicultural therapist. I believe the messages we learn in childhood can hold us back from experiencing fulfillment. In therapy, we will shed unhelpful beliefs holding you back and uncover your most authentic self. I work with young adults navigating the transition out of school, dating in the city, and finding passion in their career. I'm passionate about supporting clients exploring gender and sexuality, including those beginning their gender transition.

If you're looking for a therapist, life might feel incredibly heavy right now. In a world where queer and trans safety is constantly in question, that is something many of us share. Therapy offers you a space to slow down, where your emotions are heard, and where you don’t have to carry everything alone. My approach is trauma-informed, non-pathologizing, and relational. Together, we’ll tailor each session to your needs and strengths as I support you in finding clarity, insight, and purpose.

Are you struggling with doubt, fear, or guilt that lingers from your religious upbringing? Do you feel trapped between who you are and what you were taught to believe? Leaving or questioning your faith can feel overwhelming, filled with uncertainty, loneliness, or even anxiety about what comes next. Whether you’re wrestling with existential questions, trying to make sense of past experiences, or navigating the emotional toll of stepping away from a high-control religious environment, you don’t have to do it alone.

My clients are typically “high achievers,” parentified children or people pleasers who seek to know themselves more deeply. I specialize in working with disordered eating, life transitions, anxiety and depression. Our work together offers a space to bring into more conscious awareness, unacknowledged pain, longings and barriers to substantive nourishment of self. When the remnants of our past emerge in our present, it can feel disorienting and painful. I offer curiosity, warmth and empathy towards these emergent experiences and accompany you in deepening your self-understanding.
