Untangling the mess in our heads can feel like a lonely and isolating experience, but letting someone into that mess is equally scary. I embrace unconditional positive regard with my clients to cultivate a warm and accepting environment to explore and untangle the mess safely. Together, we will ask the hard questions, and together we will traverse the twists and turns to find peace, building trust and confidence along the way.

The most common phrase I hear when I ask new clients to describe themselves is "not good enough." As a result of invalidating life experiences, many of us come to believe that we are unworthy of acceptance. In order to avoid potential rejection, we suppress aspects of our identities that others might view as unacceptable, and we present a fragmented or incomplete version of ourselves to the world. While this can be advantageous in some environments, it also can become a barrier to intimacy. Many of my clients struggle to be vulnerable and find it challenging to embrace their full, authentic selves.

Are you looking for an “anything-but-typical” therapist? Have you struggled to find a therapist who connects with your neurodivergence, idiosyncrasies, or unconventional perspectives? Everyone says you're too much — or not enough. You feel too much — or maybe not enough. Your experiences, internal monologue, and relationships might leave you feeling "deficient." Whether you're looking to make fundamental changes to your life or fight back against the forces that have left you feeling fundamentally damaged, I'm here to help you break free from the fears, pain, or struggles that box you in.

I bring deep empathy, openness, creativity, warmth, and a sense of humor to the therapeutic relationship. I believe that the therapeutic process can impact my client's ability to grow, heal, and reach their full potential.

Do you feel stuck? Are you tired of working so hard and feeling like nothing ever changes? As human beings, we are creatures of habit. The way we think, reason and relate are based on patterns that have developed throughout our lives. If you continue to think - alone - about your struggles, you'll likely remain stuck in the same patterns. As human beings, we are also relational creatures. We learn about ourselves when we are in relationships with others. It is essential for any person's growth and development to think - with - another person.

Life is not a simple thing, it is full of mystery, joy, pain, sadness, obstacles, and successes and people are no different. I know how terrifying it can be to be on that side of the couch and I appreciate the strength it takes to take this first step. It's my philosophy that people are unique, and we all have our own path on which we tread; however, that path exists inside a world that is created by something outside ourselves. Sometimes when the world forces us to fit a mold it causes discomfort and anxiety. My goal as a therapist is to meet you along your path and do my best to help you connect with the things that matter to you.
