I have experience working with queer and trans children and adolescents, as well as individuals navigating OCD, anxiety, grief, depression and perfectionism.
Whether you're just beginning or have been engaged in therapy for some time, I aim to provide a supportive environment that honors your experience. I am committed to creating a space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I am an active listener, responsive to each individual’s evolving needs, and believe in meeting clients where they are in their therapeutic process. I believe therapy should be open, accessible, and free of stigma. My goal is to help reduce barriers by fostering a safe, calming space where people can show up authentically and be empowered in their process.

Grief doesn’t always look the way people think, it can come from losing a loved one, dealing with illness or infertility, or even walking away from family due to unresolved trauma.
I specialize in supporting those facing profound loss, family estrangement, shame, and life transitions. Together, we’ll navigate the pain of grief, whether it stems from death, illness, infertility, or difficult family dynamics. My goal is to help you process these emotions, tend to your wounds, and find a way to move forward that feels true to who you are.

I really enjoy working with those going through changes that may be related to loss of a loved one, a breakup, or starting something completely new.
Seeking help and therapy can be a difficult step to take and I'd be honored to help you along with that journey. We can set up a brief phone call to see if we're a good fit and go from there - whether that's unpacking emotions and difficult days, navigating relationships, or meeting goals. My primary focus has been working with adults from all backgrounds (e.g. different ethnicities, races, sexual orientations) with stressors that have included: mood challenges, life transitions, abuse, interpersonal conflict, self-esteem, loneliness, addiction, trauma, and medical among others as well as legal/criminal/substance use stigma.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, improving self-esteem, building confidence, and grief issues including recent & chronic medical diagnoses.
Are you currently struggling with life as you know it? Does your day-to-day feel overwhelming and at times really lonely? Do you want those things that matter most to you in life to feel more fulfilling? I know the idea of doing something different can be scarry and challenging but also necessary to move forward. It is my desire to help you develop ways to exchange your current stress for strength. My approach to therapy is simple... a dialogue between two people, building a trusting relationship, and establishing a space for healing and growth.

My way of being with clients offers compassion, humor, and authenticity. My presence is often described as warm, grounding, and reassuring. My approach is person-centered, which means that while I may provide observations and skills, you the patient are the expert, and that we are working together to understand what troubles you. When appropriate, we may focus on targeted interventions such as EMDR and exposure therapy, and skill building based in CBT, DBT, and ACT. We may also focus on existential concerns, especially around meaning making and coming to terms with what choices you have in life and facing them with courage.

My background includes extensive work in grief and loss, anger management, depression, and anxiety, but what truly matters is how those experiences connect to you.
Our first session is all about you, not just what’s been hard, but also your story, strengths, and goals. You can expect me to ask open questions and listen without judgment while you share what brought you here. If you’re dealing with grief, we may explore the weight of your loss. If it’s anger, we’ll start to notice the patterns and triggers.

I believe one of the bravest things we can do is to understand our story. Owning our story can bring us to self-acceptance and healing. I can help get you there. Do you feel like you’re hitting a wall? Feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns? Stuck in your past trauma? Bad relationships? You deserve more than the anger and hurt that you’re carrying with you each day. These walls you’re hitting can be broken down. We just need to take a few steps back, and face these walls together. Come in, and enjoy a cup of tea (on me) and let’s talk about it.

My hope is that we can create a safe environment to enable you to grow and adapt to what life has to offer and start to explore the things that may be holding us back.

We'll do emotional first-aid if you're recently wounded, then set about negotiating uncertain paths, grieving what may be lost, and embracing new possibilities.
I specialize in working with those who have difficulty in their personal relationships. That might mean you've been "chronically single" all your life and don't want to be. Or it might mean that your current relationship or friendship is painful or has ended in ways that feel both familiar and confusing somehow. Maybe you've been betrayed, or you betrayed someone. Maybe you're worried that you have a sexual problem that makes you unlovable, or you struggle with boundaries. Or maybe it's a family relationship that's difficult - an aging parent you have complicated feelings toward; a sibling you don't feel at peace with.
