Sometimes seeking help can be a very tough and vulnerable process and I want to commend you on reaching out and taking that initiative.

Creativity. It's one of our most precious birthrights. Yet when we suffer, we often forget that there is a solution to every problem. All problems in living can be thought of as a failure of the imagination, an inability to envision solutions, garner resources, or initiate movement. As a therapist I have honed the skill of generating creative solutions through traditional talk therapies and with expressive art. Through the utilization of visual arts, imagery, music, dreamwork, and writing, I can teach you how to use your own creativity as a tool for self-discovery, expression, and most importantly, integration.

Connecting with others is vital as is connecting with and understanding ourselves. While sharing with loved ones is important, this can sometimes not feel like an option or not meet our needs. Having a competent, compassionate presence in a dedicated space and time allows us to focus more fully on ourselves and what we wish to address. I believe folks have the capabilities to affect change in themselves and their lives. Therapy is a support and space in which to do this.

Depression is often overwhelming. It drains us of our energy, makes the world seem bleak and hopeless, and removes the pleasure, joy, and meaning from life. When we are depressed simple things are difficult, like getting out of bed, going to work, or simply being with others. Depression erodes our self-esteem and we often end up disliking ourselves and others, and we just want to hide away. Often these symptoms of depression cause even more depression – our withdrawal into ourselves leads to performance difficulties at school and work, and it isolates us from the very people we love and who love us.

I believe that small shifts in thinking and behavior can have profound effects on our happiness and well-being. It's never too late (or early!) to seek positive change in our lives.

All day you hear the critical voice of the eating disorder in your head, dictating your what you can eat, how you should feel and what your allowed to do that day.

To make matters worse we live in a society that feeds the committee through diet culture. You struggle to take up space and letting others in to help you when you need it most. Your struggle is real and valid! This daily battle is exhausting and leaves you questioning reality.

Hello and Welcome! It has been a dream of mine to become a therapist since I was about 11 years old. Sexual health discussions have never made me uncomfortable in any way, and I like to provide a safe space for clients to discuss these issues. Many people experience shame about their relationship preferences, kinks, and sexual orientation. So I like to help individuals and couples who may be struggling in this area. But I also enjoy working with clients who are gender diverse, are thinking about or currently transitioning, and so forth.
