I work with individuals navigating relationship challenges, domestic violence, substance use, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Some days we use structured approaches like IFS or cognitive-based strategies, and other days focus on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space to process thoughts and emotions openly. Humans are complex and intricate, and I tailor each session to what is most needed in the moment—whether that’s insight, skill-building, or simply giving space for them to feel heard—so clients can move forward with greater clarity, stability, and self-understanding.

You’re tired of code-switching or editing who you are just to be heard. Whether you’re navigating the nuances of queer identity, the weight of being a person of color in complex systems, or the exhaustion of relational trauma, you deserve a therapeutic partnership where your intersectional identity is honored as a source of strength, allowing us to focus on your growth and insight. You want to feel relaxed and grounded, but right now, the world—and perhaps your own history—has made it difficult to trust not only yourself, but others, too.

You’ve been carrying a lot for a long time — expectations, identities that no longer fit, the pressure to hold everything together, or the quiet sense that you’ve lost touch with who you are becoming. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, feeling the weight of anxiety or burnout, questioning long‑held beliefs, exploring your LGBTQ+ identity, or trying to rebuild trust in yourself after overwhelming or stressful experiences, you deserve a space where you can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your inner voice.

You can’t break out of a cage you’re still trying to decorate. I’ve been many people’s 4th/5th/8th/9th therapist and been told they felt like something finally clicked for them. I care about it clicking. My approach is based on self-compassion and living an integrated life. Even if you’re motivated to change, it’s still hard because negative events can shape beliefs about the world and ourselves that we often don’t even realize we hold. So we start with self-compassion, and then work on trying to bring our actions into alignment with our goals. I’ve been a therapist for over a decade now, and I promise – self-compassion is the move.

Change can be hard, and seeking help takes courage. I help clients to accept and make sense of their difficult emotions and life circumstances. When we bravely face our grief, disappointments, longing and loneliness, we find new hope and possibility on the other side. If we get support in adversity, we can uncover abilities and gifts we may have forgotten or only dreamed we could have. Therapy is not just a place to heal, it is a place to find acceptance, refuge, innate wisdom, and to uncover a more authentic and full life.

New Patients Welcome! I consider myself a generalist, able to relate to most people. In my experience, people can deal with a couple challenges at time. People are resilient. Sometimes the issues just keep piling on and on and IF that isn’t hard enough, we tend to be our own worst enemies. We degrade ourselves and insult ourselves ."I can’t"; "I am stupid". What we obsess about in our head escalates. An outside, objective view can help gain a better perspective. I strive to build on your strengths and solve problems, lifelong or situational. Take the first step and email me. I have times available that don't appear on schedule.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.

Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.

How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.

How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
