I specialize in working with people who think deeply, feel intensely, and experience the world differently: creatives, academics, LGBTQIA+ folks, neurodivergent individuals, ‘gifted’ kids, and anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider looking in. But you don’t need to see yourself as unusual or extraordinary to benefit from therapy with me! Many of my clients are ordinary people simply trying to make sense of who they are and learn to live fuller lives without being dragged down by worry, self-doubt, and fear.
Whether you're struggling to become more aware of your own feelings and maladaptive beliefs or you're unhappily /too/ aware of what's wrong, I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space to explore and understand yourself better, as well as a forum to receive honest feedback about distortions that might be holding you back.
It's never been harder to be a human being. The pressures of contemporary life divide our focus and disconnect us from the things that matter. As a therapist, I want to help my clients identify what matters to them, learn to deal with what holds them back, and become the best, most fully-realized versions of themselves they can be.

The foremost issues I treat are related to trauma, grief & loss, interpersonal issues, and problems with emotional regulation and self-actualization. Initial sessions will help me get to know you, your story, and what your goals for therapy are. While I tailor sessions to each client, most experience enhanced awareness and a reduction in stress and anxiety within the first couple months.
