I work with adult and older teen clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, addictions (to substances and/or compulsive behaviors) and who are recovering from traumatic experiences. I believe that your natural self underlies any issues you may bring to therapy, and that our job as we work together is to help you rediscover and live from that natural, free, and open-hearted self.

Many obstacles can interfere with living life to its fullest, but they don't have to. Creating a focused plan and sticking with it can be life changing, and at times deeper issues are at play. In my practice I work with high performing individuals such as Athletes, Entertainers and Public Figures, as well as their families. Having competed and worked in the Sport and Entertainment Industries for more than twenty years, I've developed a unique approach incorporating performance psychology, positive mental health and mindfulness to consistently help clients around the world meet and exceed their goals.

I am passionate about supporting folks navigating trauma, disordered eating and body image challenges, and/or sexual challenges. I also love working with creatives such as dancers, writers, and music industry professionals. I’m here to support you in working through the roots of your struggles so that you can find true, lasting healing – not just a bandaid. My work is strongly social justice informed, and fostering inclusivity for folks of ALL backgrounds is of the utmost importance to me. For folks who find it important for their therapist to share similar identities, I am personally neurodivergent (AuDHD) and identify as queer.

(My practice is currently FULL, but I'm happy to help you find another clinician who may be a good fit.) Though I see a range of client types, I find I am best suited to work with the black sheep. My clients often find it taxing, if not impossible, to function at high levels while carrying their stressors. I work with people to figure out what good looks like for them, and help them create a new, intentional, normal. My clients come to me stressed, anxious, depressed, traumatized, worried, and angry; and they are all on a path of healing and growth. I see all sexual orientations and genders in my practice.

My passion is working with individuals and groups to help them ritualize peace by creating coping mechanisms to face challenges and achieve goals. My practice aims to promote healing by facilitating the creation of new road maps to personal wellness.

Hello! Are you interested in rekindling the spark in your intimate relationship? Would you like to transform intimacy into an exciting experience rather than a routine task? If you find yourself feeling a bit disconnected or perhaps somewhat hesitant about the time that has passed since you and your partner connected, please know that you are not alone. It's completely normal to have uncertainties about being in a sexless relationship, and I would be happy to discuss it with you.

Welcome to the next step! The step that follows acknowledging that you cannot do this alone. Grief, trauma, and racial/ethnic identity issues are challenging to navigate. Whether this is your first time or not, I commend you for your willingness to be vulnerable and your readiness to work toward growth and change. No matter if you believe the issue is a "quick fix", so complex that you struggle to put it into words, or if you just feel that something is not sitting well within you and making you uneasy in your skin, I am here for you.

Are you wondering if your life could be more free, authentic, or beautiful than it has been? Maybe you’re trying to find your place in the queer community, or heal from rejection by your loved ones' disapproval of your identity. Are you in the music industry and struggling to balance your wellbeing with the lifestyle? Or you find yourself stuffing down your feelings because you aren’t sure what the hell you’re supposed to do with them? Instead of discouraged and exhausted, you want your life to be full of fulfillment and connection. I help LGBTQIA+, music industry folks, creatives, & adults with trauma cultivate a life they love.

Healing can only happen if you find space to allow your pain and hopes to be witnessed. So many people suffer in silence, carry burdens of intergenerational trauma or being neurodivergent in a world not built for them, and have never REALLY been given the space to use their voice. If this describes you, you belong here. Part of my goal as your therapist is to help you find your voice again (or perhaps for the first time) and have the opportunity to be truly seen and heard. I will bring full presence, respect, and compassion to our work together to support you in moving toward the life you desire and deserve.

Political stress? I can help! The world is pretty crazy right now and that can be incredibly challenging to cope with. I've helped countless clients deal with current and existential stress - let's find some balance during this stressful time. I can combine this work with looking at and resolving past trauma, reducing general anxiety, increasing self-worth, and generally feeling better. Life can be incredibly difficult and therapy won't always be easy, but if you truly want to be different I can help with that. You can't change the world but with some help you can change how it affects you.

Hello and thank you for stopping by. Counseling is a very personal journey and it is important to find a counselor you can trust and feel comfortable with. I always encourage potential clients to research, compare, and even email or call prior to the first session so any initial questions or concerns can be answered and addressed. Over the past 20 years both my training and experience in mental health have been in working with people with history of trauma, mood and anxiety type disorders, relationship difficulties, behavioral struggles, parenting issues, and life transitions.
