I believe that the client-therapist relationship is integral to your healing and growth, so our initial work starts with making sure you feel comfortable with me and my therapeutic approach.
Hello! I provide in-person, telehealth, and walk-and-talk counseling for adults and teens seeking healing and empowerment from difficulties with relationships, self-worth, trauma, and lacking passion or uncertainty about your place and direction in life. We might be a good fit if you like a more collaborative and relaxed approach (no “expert” ego here), want someone who highlights your strengths yet also holds you accountable to making meaningful changes, and appreciate a little humor to balance out the heavier work.

My approach to psychotherapy is deeply rooted in building and working within an authentic relationship with each person.
I often work with patients to examine longstanding difficulties, both with others and within their own selves. Such patterns often leave people feeling misunderstood, empty, lost, unheard, unseen, taken advantage of, stuck, angry, or resentful. Feeling this way can leave you feeling disconnected from and distrusting of others; even those who you love and want to feel close to. Many times, these pieces can be extremely difficult and even can feel impossible to share. And that's okay. We will work together to address what feels important to you and at your pace.

I will warmly hold you accountable to change b/c you relationship matters to me.
Queer relationships are as exciting as they are terrifying. No predetermined rules, roles, or rituals means we get to write the book. But what happens when we're confronted with endless possibility, little role modeling, & extremely high stakes? Writer's block. If you're in a queer partnership (this includes you queer folx in cit-het passing relationships) & you're looking to cultivate deeper intimacy with your partner(s), transform those pesky childhood strategies you've been using when things go sideways, determine if "monogamish" is a viable option, & let each other in as you heal from relational trauma, I've got you.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
