Many of our deepest wounds have occurred within relationships and much of our longer lasting and most meaningful healing also occurs within relationships. I believe that counseling is most beneficial when it is based in a safe relationship to explore and understand ourselves and the choices we make. It is my desire to create a safe environment where you can laugh, cry, curse, and authentically express yourself.

Your resiliency has gotten you far, but what if you don’t have to keep going at it alone? What if, rather than being “broken” or needing to “get over it already”, you have actually needed - and deserve - the right kind of support for you to heal, grow, and thrive? When we are understood, accompanied, and supported in a deep, reliable way, the healing and transformation we seek can unleash from our own interior. Seemingly paradoxically, deeply connected, safe relationships liberate us. It takes real strength and courage to reach for this kind of support. I hold deep respect for you seeking this out, as well as faith in your process.

If you feel like you have tried everything and nothing works, I get you! I strongly believe that we all have an inner wisdom deep within us, but through our life experiences and social influences, most of us lose access to this inner healer. In our work together I will guide and support you as we peel back the layers so that you can reconnect with your deeper sense of self. As you begin to make that connection, shift happens. My intention is for you to feel empowered in your healing journey.

Being vulnerable with someone new can be very intimidating, but let me tell you a secret…you can laugh in therapy. I know it sounds crazy right?! But I’m being completely candid. Some of my favorite moments in my career have been when we can find humor even while carrying our heaviest burdens.

My passion for over 30 years has been to help people explore, identify and deal with problematic or out of control behaviors and the effects in their lives and in the lives of loved ones. I have always believed that these excessive behaviors have served as one way for people to regulate their moods, their neurochemistry, and to cope with anxiety and fears. In other words, to change the way they feel. I enjoy helping people learn to manage stress and anxiety in new ways. I also love helping people improve their relationship with themselves and others and to develop a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.

Now accepting new clients! Overwhelmed and frustrated by the demands of your life? Instead of enjoying your life, do you find yourself in patterns of numbing or escaping your life? While that provides some immediate relief, it also keeps you stuck. Often times, it's not just our current circumstances, but also our past experiences that keeps us from getting the momentum and satisfaction we desire in our life and relationships. Good news is you're not alone and therapy can provide the right environment for you to experience the growth and transformation you desire.

**Now supporting clients in Texas and Minnesota** I believe walking into therapy is one of the bravest gifts you can give yourself. I try to create a calm, safe environment for clients. My style is relational, warm, kind, and encouraging which makes it easy for my clients to relax. I have a genuine, down-to-earth personality and I speak to clients in much the same way that I would talk to a friend or any other person in my life. I am not just a “smile and nod” therapist nor am I just going to stare at you until you start talking. I much prefer to roll up my sleeves and “sit in the suck” with you to make real progress.

When seeking care, nothing is scarier to transgender and non binary folx than winding up with a provider who is poorly informed about the issues that face our community. From understanding discrimination and harassment and the various intersectionalities of our personhood to the process of transitioning and navigating this process, having a mental health provider who is affirming and competent makes a huge difference, whether your current mental health concerns are or aren't related to your gender.

I believe everyone deserves and is within reach of a fulfilling life. What stands in the way may be external or internal, current issues or past traumas, conscious choices and behaviors or subconscious beliefs and values. It commonly manifests as anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship issues, distorted sense of self, and questioning of one’s purpose in this world. I became a therapist to help others navigate these obstacles and realize a healthy, authentic life with a sense of hope for today and tomorrow.
