I am a relational therapist who emphasizes a social justice approach to my work. I believe that to truly, deeply understand ourselves, we must look at the larger context within which we operate. In the therapy room, I strive to support you as you explore your own history and identity with curiosity, warmth, and care. I apply a trauma-informed lens to provide affirming care, as I believe that a respectful, supportive relationship is a key aspect of facilitating growth and self-acceptance. I am especially effective at working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and ASD, alongside life transitions and gender and sexuality explorations.

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.

As a person, I can understand the pressures of life right now feeling overwhelming and I invite you to join me for a session, there is space on my couch for you. Anxiety, Depression, Gender Identity, Sex and Sexuality, ADHD, Autism and Attachment are some of the main issues that bring clients to me. I have worked in mental, behavioral and relational health for the last ten years and am excited to welcome couples, duos, non-monogamous clients as well as individuals. One approach to issues I practice is the idea that all behavior is communication, sometimes we need some help finding out what we are trying to say.

Is there some sort of rule book for life that you missed? How do other people get through the day? Or know what's going on? You have/wonder about ADHD or Autism, or maybe other people bring it up, but what does that really mean? I can help you understand what autism or ADHD means for you; how impacts you, and what this might mean in relationships. This might include work on anxiety, sadness, executive functioning, burnout, working on personal goal setting/finding direction, or a diagnostic evaluation. You'll have a safe place to be yourself, insight into your life, and concrete tips for moving forward, allowing you to be you.

Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as anxiety or depression, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as getting a new job or starting a new relationship can be stressful. Together, we will merge our resources to address these challenges in a safe environment by exploring patterns, processing events from the past, and creating plans for change in the future.
