Feeling anxious, depressed, or just exhausted? If you're a queer or neurospicy person, you might also feel "too much": too sensitive, too easily overwhelmed, or like you're fundamentally different. You may find relationships confusing or draining, be fiercely self-critical, or feel like you need to mask to get by. You're not just managing symptoms; you're trying to navigate a world that isn't built for you. I specialize in working with people whose depression and anxiety are tangled with deeper roots: a history of not fitting in, complex trauma, or a nervous system that's on high alert. Together, we'll move beyond coping.

I strive to create a space where you are seen, heard, and valued as a whole human being—not just as a set of symptoms or challenges.

Email is best, not calls! I work most often with anxiety, trauma, depression, interpersonal relationships, life changes, work-related stress, and chronic pain. I take a very practical approach to helping you find peace and healing with your struggles. This is a safe, non-judgmental place to receive validation, support, feedback, and proactive help. Email is best to reach me, not phone, as phone calls disturb sessions and I don't have office staff to help me respond in a timely fashion.

I work with adults on a wide range of issues, predominantly treating mood disorders, addiction, self image issues, self-destructive behaviors, severe persistent mental illness, and trauma recovery. While diagnostic assessment is an important step in treatment, I do not lose sight of individual differences and work with each client to tailor treatment to their unique experiences, skills, and needs.

My heart is to help equip women and teen girls who are hurting to live a life of growth, acceptance and, ultimately, healing.

I also love working with couples who could benefit from learning new communication and relational techniques. Every couple has difficulty along the way - I would love to walk alongside you and help guide you through relational healing.
