Therapy can generate greater meaning in your life, nourish a sense of connection, and help transform unhealthy patterns. Whether you seek help with specific concerns or you simply want to better understand yourself, I create a supportive space in which we can think together about your relationships and experiences. My style as a therapist tends to be warm, engaged, and curious. I encourage a focus both on a deeper exploration of the roots of your distress and on what can be changed in the present to help you feel better.

I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals and couples to talk about difficult subjects without fear of judgment. I specialize in relationships and relational work. I help couples heal from unresolved issues, learn new ways to communicate and understand each other, and deepen their intimacy. I teach couples how to have hard conversations that end in deeper connection, instead of painful fights that result in deeper wounds. I also help single people navigate the dating world, date from a place of confidence and self-worth, & create a healthy, lasting relationship.

Feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed? Want to improve your relationships? Challenging times can also be opportunities because they activate the parts of us that need healing. This can also cause extreme feelings and thoughts to hijack us, making us feel overwhelmed or stuck. I truly believe we each have everything we need to live from a place of calm, courage, curiosity, and creativity. We just need to release the obstacles and burdens we carry and learn how to relate to ourselves differently.

People often come to therapy with a precise problem to address, and sometimes people come to therapy with a general sense that they are not living their lives in a way that feels right or true. Therapy is useful in many circumstances; it’s an opportunity to understand and change painful patterns, to treat a mental health disorder, to heal from previous trauma, to process the impact of oppression, to mobilize oneself when feeling “stuck," and so much more. Whatever your reason for seeking treatment, I believe that therapy can help you create a life that holds more joy, connection, and purpose.

Vulnerability. It's a word that sounds all motivating and "Hell yeah!" when Brene Brown talks about it, but when it comes to actually DOING it, it terrifies you. In order to get to the root of what's causing your discomfort, I'm going to ask you to get vulnerable. I'm going to ask you to share your story (no, the real story) with me. But you don't have to do it alone. I want to help you move from SURVIVING to THRIVING. I want you to FINALLY start living the life you've imagined. It doesn't have to be "someday". It can be now. And I can help.

Accepting new clients! Let's be real, change and life transitions can be terrifying. Especially if they come about suddenly or unwillingly. Struggling with relentless panic, racing anxious thoughts, or paralyzing fear can impact your ability to show up in your life even in the most basic way. Whether your obsessions deal with contamination, checking, intrusive thoughts of harm, moral/religious scrupulosity, or anything else, OCD can often leave a person feeling isolated, trapped, and sometimes terrified of themselves. It can be incredibly overwhelming trying to navigate this all alone.

Accepting new clients! The world is just... really hard right now. It's difficult to imagine how therapy would even help when the world is on fire. You constantly feel "other", in so many ways, which makes maintaining social and romantic relationships nearly impossible. You know you have a long list of things to process, but have never felt like you've had a truly safe, nonjudgmental space to do that. In order to heal, you know on a visceral level that you need to feel fully accepted, not just tolerated. You are starting to drown from the overwhelming stress, anxiety, neurodiversity, perfectionism, low self-worth, and isolation.

Accepting new clients! Most days, you feel like you don't have anyone on your side, and often struggle with trust. In order to be able to dive into your list of "things" and really open up, finally, you know you'll need to feel truly accepted and respected. You are starting to drown in the anxiety, stress, conflict, and depression that is swirling around you, and it's just... time. You're mostly open to the idea of therapy, but you need a balance of processing AND skills that you can apply in your day-to-day life. Sometimes, even thinking about the process of looking for a therapist is enough to exhaust you and then paralyze you.

I firmly believe that you deserve to live your life to its fullest, and I am eager to help you make strides towards what you want most. A lot of my patients feel overwhelmed by unexpected life events and fear about what happens next; feel ill-equipped to cope with pressing anxiety; or long to have more depth and connection in their relationships. It is possible to feel better. Therapy allows you to explore with curiosity previously avoided parts of your thoughts, feelings and past in a nonjudgmental way. A trusting relationship with your therapist can help you understand more about yourself and what you can do to feel better.

My clinical experience includes working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, trauma, life transitions, and relationships. I am very passionate about providing services to members of the LGBTQ+ community and am committed to being culturally competent and social-justice oriented. I work with adults, adolescents, and children. Much of my clinical experience was spent as a middle and high school counselor, so I have extensive experience working with young people ages 11 through 18.

Now accepting new clients! As a person-centered therapist, I believe there is potential to help anyone interested in working with me regardless of their reasons for coming to therapy.

I am an LGBTQIA+ and relationship-affirming therapist and I'm very passionate about working with people in marginalized groups. I believe that everyone needs a therapist who can listen with compassion and understanding.

I empower clients to stop feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and self-critical by connecting to hope and strengthening relationships with others and with themselves. I support clients to accept difficult parts of themselves to feel more whole, to reduce anxiety through skill building, & to enhance your trust in yourself & your abilities so you can make decisions and take steps forward. I affirm and work with, not against, neurodivergence. In art making, we can create space to process experiences that feel outside of spoken language.
