You were never like the others. Growing up queer (in a straight world) left you floundering into adulthood; trying to figure out who you are and what life has to offer you. Perhaps you found self-worth in overachieving academically, professionally, creatively, or socially. Yet, it always felt like a performance. Something is still missing. A sense of wholeness eludes you. You are still searching for the certainty that it is okay to be you in this world, unencumbered by the judgements of others. You are aiming for your best and highest life. A life filled with value and gratitude. A life lived with integrity and authenticity.

In my practice, I work with clients to explore past experiences and how they might be influencing current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors — nurturing insight and awareness to elicit growth and desired change. I view therapy as a collaborative process that can assist in identifying and working through challenges so that life can be lived with greater balance and self-compassion. I strive to create a safe space for individuals to freely express their authentic selves, while working together to set and progress toward therapeutic goals.

Are you suffering from the end of a relationship? A job? Do you feel like you are in crisis, or no longer feel like yourself? Maybe you’re realizing that your life as it is in this moment is not working for you. Perhaps you feel alone, lost, or at a loss for what to do. Congratulations on taking the first step to finding relief and taking control. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, hold grudges, let trauma control us, or to be anxious or angry all the time. You may feel stuck, but there is hope.

Being vulnerable is hard. It’s uncomfortable. And, it’s human. I believe therapy is a mutually created space that opens the door to awareness, acceptance and the possibility to make lasting positive change. My job as your therapist is to help make this process more manageable through creating an environment that is safe and judgement free. I utilize a person-centered, strengths-based, and integrative approach, that views each client individually and holistically.

Does life seem confusing or even impossible? Does it ever feel like even when you are with others you feel alone? It is brave to ask for help. With every fiber of my being, I believe you have the answers you need and you can be the expert on you. Let me help you better understand your story and help guide you out of the dark places you are stuck in and into your truth. So much of the time we are living a narrative that others have crafted, by pain rather than strength. These narratives can feel like prisons but you have the ability to heal and take back your story.
