Congratulations! By exploring therapy you are taking the first step toward a more enjoyable, meaningful life.

We make the best choices we can as we try to solve our problems and live our lives; but sometimes, we forget that we learned those problem-solving skills long ago and that there might be a better way. Together we will work to solve your problems, face challenges and improve your quality of life.

My goal as a therapist is to create an affirming and welcoming space for every client to feel heard and understood. Whether you are dealing with LGBTQIA+ related issues, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, boundary setting, spirituality, or working on restoring your relationship with yourself, I'm here to support you. My approach to therapy centers around honoring and exploring your personal story, and embracing your authentic self. With doctoral-level training, I offer integrative approaches, including somatic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), emotion-focused, and psychodynamic therapy, to meet your personalized needs.

Spring is around the corner but you still may be feeling stuck, anxious, and overwhelmed. Indecisive. Another morning up at 3am worrying about how you are perceived and the giant list of things that needs get done. Your mind racing. Is this all there is? You feel like you should have all the answers. Yet, you often find yourself being the one friends come to for help. If you’re thinking “that sounds like me”, you are not alone. And you don’t have to do this alone.

Are you struggling with intimate relationships or relationships with family, friends, or coworkers? Have you been wrestling to move beyond past traumatic experiences? Have you experienced pounding heart, sweaty palms, and cloudy head? Do you feel like despite your best effort, you can't seem to act on your true intentions and end up feeling trapped in defeat and self-doubt?

I believe in the inherent well being of all of my patients and clients. I am looking forward to connecting with clients on this platform who are ready to explore possibilities, transversing across gender, sexual orientation, and all other identity markers (Sanskrit term: samskaras) which encompass our internal mapping of experience. I am passionate about witnessing my clients step forward into deeper and more expansive embodiment and joy on a daily basis. My clients are dedicated to their own curiosity and unfoldment. My clients will be able to access deep healing on multiple levels as well as vital life coaching through this portal

Self-compassion is a great buzzword, but it's easier said than done. Sometimes you have to avoid or fight feelings and parts of yourself. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, worn out or conflicted. Maybe you are not satisfied with your core relationships. This could be because parts of you are stuck in past experiences and those parts are using the tools they have (like avoidance, self-criticism, anxiety...) to protect you from more pain, even though these tools don't always serve you now. Together, we can welcome and get to know each part of you slowly and safely, and introduce new tools for coping and making change.

In therapy, we will create a safe space to explore deep issues while fostering your unique needs for growth and self-acceptance. I am warm, active, and open-minded. I enjoy working with adults who seek to improve their relationships with themselves and others. You may feel empty, anxious, depressed, or have issues communicating needs and boundaries. Maybe you are struggling to cope with changes in your life or suffering from troubling experiences in the past. I specialize in helping people work through life transitions, manage anxiety, have intimacy and relationship issues, and explore their identity/sexuality.
