Finding balance and living a fulfilling life is easier said than done. However, I'm in your corner to support the happier version of you. Knowing that we are all fellow humans journeying on a path towards a better life, I bring to our talk therapy a sense of genuine curiosity, gratitude and honest compassion to meet you exactly where you're at. With the help of therapy, we can be released from what holds us back, integrate hidden aspects of ourselves and fully embrace who we are, bruises and all. Therapy is my life calling and is by far the greatest gift I have been given and can give in this lifetime.

Pain, uncertainty, feelings of being lost and a failure emerge as we seek to find our individual path in life. These feelings often indicate it is time to be found, not that you are "mentally ill." They can indicate the need to connect with your inner Self rather than to substitute unfulfilling forms of social adjustment. My approach focuses on you as a unique individual. It recognizes that you have a Self in the sense that there is a unique inner guidance available to you. I will work as a guide in your journey toward conflict resolution and wholeness.

I often work with clients who struggle with never feeling good enough. This would surprise people around you as there's a good chance you've found success in life. You excelled academically, have advanced your career, and appear confident to others, but internally you feel different. The drive to perform has been an attempt to finally feel like you are enough. I can help you begin to look at how these patterns were at one time protective, but may no longer fit in your life. We will work together to heal the underlying wounds these patterns are protecting.

I work with adults who are untangling layers of trauma, identity, and life transitions. Many of my clients are queer, trans, neurodivergent, or chronically ill and looking for a therapist who understands those lived realities.
Together we explore how old stories, cultural messages, and body-based experiences shape self-worth & relationships. I use humor, curiosity, and creativity to help people feel supported in bringing their full selves to therapy.
Whether we’re working with grief, trauma, or identity exploration, I see myself as a fellow traveler - someone to walk alongside you as you reclaim your voice and reimagine your story.

My passion involves helping teens and adults reach their goals through a collaborative approach that respects the individual as the expert in their life, who has found themself to be stuck in some way that prevents them from growing or moving forward. They often find that they need the assistance of a professional counselor to empower them to learn to identify and utilize their strengths to find solutions to life's problems. Most recently, I have begun incorporating my love of animals into my work through evaluating individuals for emotional support animals.

Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns—feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward? Whether you’re navigating a life transition or struggling in your relationships, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Many of the ways we relate to ourselves and others are shaped by attachment and past experiences. Trauma and early relationships can leave lasting imprints, even if you’re not fully aware of them. In therapy, we’ll work to understand the “why” behind your thoughts, emotions, and reactions—so you can begin to respond in new, more intentional ways.

I help clients to understand what normal and healthy responses are to trauma (e.g., systems of oppression, grief, abuse) so that clients can externalize (e.g., not hold themselves responsible for) what they did not cause.
I help clients work through the underlying sources of their pain and symptoms so that they can live on the other side of these wounds, with more self-compassion, insight, resilience, joy and peace. Some wounds may never go away, but doing this work can help to make them less intense, while honoring the unique experiences that make you who you are.

Trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and addiction are issues often too intense to cope with alone, especially when shame creeps in and says you are to blame.
I am passionate about creating a safe space where we can face these issues at a pace that you set. It can be intimidating to start. Many of my clients enter therapy for the first time, and I work hard to make sure it is a comfortable and meaningful experience.
Therapy can be a cathartic place where you can speak freely to someone outside of your circle. I work to treat you as the expert of your own life and encourage things you are doing that are already working.
