Is your child having behavioral problems which are interfering with school, family, or friendships? Are you wondering if the behavior is normal or if he/she will outgrow it? I use a variety of evidence base practices to help collaborate with the family in restoring balance. Is your teen defiant, distant or abusing substances? I specialize with working with adolescents with a variety of substance use and/or mental health symptoms. I thoroughly enjoy working with teens who have addiction and mental health issues.

I work with couples, caregivers, only children, folx exploring their queerness and those experiencing anxiety or existential dread. I help recovering people-pleasers identify and communicate their needs, set and maintain boundaries, and connect to their intuition. I am passionate about working with women who feel they have to prove themselves worthy. Sometimes life can leave us asking, "what am I even doing here?" Together we can dust off the map and identify choices that lead to greater clarity and authenticity.

I believe psychotherapy is a project between two people where sources of emotional pain and anguish are discovered and revisited, where what has been denied, unimagined, forgotten, or come to be unspeakable can become imagined, felt and spoken. The process generates an understanding of ourselves that is vastly more dynamic than what our relationships, politics and culture allow, leading to the easing of suffering and the creation of new possibilities.

I believe that the practice of being human is an incredibly complex, difficult, amazingly messy and yet wonderfully beautiful process. While life can be complicated and painful, it can also be rewarding and full of joy. However, when we are in one state it is often hard to even imagine the other. Therapy can be a safe and supportive place in which to reconcile the difference and to learn the relationship between the two. We can often muddle through the difficulties on our own but sometimes it helps to have someone objective, compassionate and skilled to help us through.

You're here because trauma holds you back from being your best. You have triggers that cause tension with partners and friends, and an overactive sympathetic nervous system. You can't stop people pleasing, then needing to isolate. You just want it to stop.
Trauma doesn't need to take over your life anymore. You already survived. Now, you can heal too. You just need two things: gumption and the right therapist to guide you. One who can take you from been-through-it to queer baddie.
That's where I come in. For over 15 years, I’ve helped queer folx heal, so they can put the past behind them to become their best, baddie selves.

You may be highly self-critical, finding yourself stuck in patterns of people-pleasing or perfectionism. Growing up, you may have felt pressured to live up to the expectations of family, friends, and society. Your emotions may have been labeled “too much,” causing you to suppress your sensitivity. How would it feel to know that you don’t have to be perfect or have all the answers? How would it feel to know that in this moment, you are exactly who you are meant to be?

My approach to treatment includes a combination of both Cognitive-Behavioral and Narrative theories. These two approaches aim to look at how thoughts and ideas influence emotions and effect behaviors and decisions. In addition, this approach attempts to separate the problem from the individual and often uses homework assignments, journaling, and mindfulness exercises as therapeutic interventions. I believe that the counseling experience is a sacred one. You, as the client, have the power to make healthy and helpful choices in your life. It is my role to assist you in this journey.

I meet with clients who have anxiety and want to find ways to work through it. They may be struggling with a life transition, unresolved childhood experiences, or parenting difficulties. I also work with clients with disabilities, including Autism.
In one way or another, my clients feel stuck and want me to help them identify what is blocking them from working toward their life goals and help them make progress, and along the way, assist them in reducing their distress and increasing their confidence to move forward.

On your drive home, the familiar thoughts return. "I'm a failure as a friend, a partner...a human." Heaviness settles in your chest, your stomach clenches. As the distractions of the day fade, your mind replays each mistake you made. Self-criticism and shame flood you. You appear capable, high-functioning, the one who has it together. Yet inside you doubt yourself and feel like a failure. No matter how hard you work, what you accomplish, or who cares about you, the belief persists: "I am a terrible, garbage person." It's painful to keep living like this. Something needs to change. Now.

My ideal clients are children ages 0 to 6, though I also work with youth up to 18. They may be facing anxiety, behavioral challenges, trauma, grief, or difficulties in social-emotional development. Families want support that considers each child’s unique cultural, developmental, and mental health needs. They seek a safe, playful, and compassionate space to process emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen family connections, with the goal of fostering resilience, confidence, and healthy relationships for the future.

The alarm goes off, but the night wasn't restful. You wake exhausted yet prepared for danger. Muscles tense. Heart pounds. A snippet of what happened replays before your feet even hit the floor, and the trauma follows you throughout your day. At work, mid-conversation, it's right there in your body while you pretend you're okay. Tears or anger flood your system at the drop of a hat. What once felt like a temporary response has become your new normal. You're surviving, rather than truly living, and somewhere underneath runs one steady thought: "I can't keep living like this." Relief is possible, and you can return to solid ground.
