If you struggle with anxiety, depression, or you are simply looking to improve your relationships, I can help.
The therapist you NEED is not necessarily the one you WANT. Counseling changed my life. The journey wasn't easy but it was simple... I had to change everything about myself. I know that change is possible and inevitable when you have the right people supporting you. All people are deserving of love and respect, whether you identify as a racial/ethnic minority, LGBTQI+, or Religious/Spiritual. I am here to help you... find your AMAZING life!

I specialize in gender and sexuality exploration, depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationship issues, queer issues, and trauma.
Are you LGBTQIA+ and haven't found a therapist who sees, understands, or meets you where you currently are in life? As a psychotherapist I believe that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to help you process, explore, and cope with the trauma and challenges you endure. I believe our best work together is achieved when you feel supported, encouraged, and empowered. Through humor, compassion, and support I meet you where you are, so that we can collaboratively work together to process and overcome the challenges and trauma that are a part of your story, help you achieve your goals, and be an authentic you.

I use my experience as a person with PTSD, depression, anxiety, autism, and ADHD to help me understand with compassion the experiences of my clients.
You've tried therapy before and it felt like a waste of time. You know you need help but taking the first step is terrifying and hard. You’re scared of opening up and talking about things that hurt to think about. You’re scared that talking about the terrible things that happened will make it more real. You need someone who can provide some immediate relief, is safe to talk to, and will work at your pace. You are an expert on your own experiences, I am a professional who understands how our mind and body reacts to trauma. Tell me what you can, when you can, and I will be right here for you.

My expertise is in engaging with individuals who are seeking support with anxiety, trauma/vicarious trauma, C-/PTSD, depression, grief, relationships, life transitions, and the navigation of oppressive systems and structures.
I approach my work through an integration of trauma-responsive, anti-oppressive, and mindfulness-based practices and lenses. I view therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to build trust and grow insight to support you in developing a deeper understanding of your relationship to yourself, to others, and to the world around you. I consider individuals to be the experts of their experience and see my role in the therapeutic relationship as one of creating a space that is welcoming, affirming, reflective, non-judgmental, curious, and compassionate. I work with both teenagers and adults in individual therapy.

To me, therapy is a team sport. I'm there to help create a space and relationship where you feel safe exploring the things that are happening in your life. Maybe that thing is identity exploration, depression or anxiety that just won't quit, or figuring out how survive and then thrive after a big trauma. All of this is big stuff. I'm here to help you hold it and find a way through it. I have plenty of tools that I can bring to bear (questions, coping skills training, identifying patterns, and reframing situations), but ultimately, my approach centers around you and what you need to be successful, however you define success.

I focus on trauma, life transitions, LGBTQIA issues, and how adverse experiences impact an individual's ability to effectively respond to life's many difficulties. Depression and anxiety manifest often as a result of dealing with challenges and it is necessary to reconnect with an innate, authentic sense of self in order to experience a fulfilling life. Each person deserves to live a life of purpose and meaning. I strive to help clients increase their sense of agency, feel more connected with themselves, and become better attuned to the world around them.

We live in a stressful, complex, and contradictory world. And though you do your best to cope with the chaos around you, sometimes it gets overwhelming. The chaos can make you question your decisions - sometimes it can even make you question who and how you are. Why are there so many obstacles to the life and relationships you want? Shouldn’t there be a clearer path? It can be so hard to navigate through the noise. Craving to connect more fully but end up feeling needy and more alone. Wanting to feel safe, but unease grows and bleeds through. Striving to be authentic, but there is so much noise it is hard to hear your true self.

My ideal client is someone who has a foundation of wellness and is looking to bridge the chasm between where they are and where they would like to be. They have self-awareness, motivation, and a support system to aid them in their journey. They are looking to learn and implement sustainable tools, practices, and habits that will embody their authentic truth and enhance their lives as a whole. They are curious and open about alternative and holistic methods of healing. They are willing to lean into fear of walking the unknown path of internal alchemy and evolution, knowing they are the ultimately the one that can heal themselves.
