Being a human can be a struggle even in the best of times. For many of us, now is not the best of times, making support for your mental health and well-being more important than ever. As your therapist, I hope to hold space and walk alongside you in whatever season of life you are experiencing. With warmth, humor, sincerity, and care, I strive to build a relationship with each of my clients that cultivates empowerment and deep compassion for self. I believe that change is possible for everyone and anyone when they have the right support.

Life is full of obstacles that can leave us feeling directionless or uncertain about who we are. While these phases of life are difficult to navigate, they can also be deeply transformative. Therapy can offer creative ways to help you understand your experiences, your relationships, and your Self. From a place of collaboration and warmth, I will work with you to navigate life’s obstacles, meet your challenges, and take steps towards becoming your most authentic self.

I think we all want to live a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. I know I've had moments where that seemed impossible. I'm here to help people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and lost find their way back to themselves and discover meaning in their lives. I've seen how reconnecting to yourself can turn feelings of doubt and fear into confidence, hope, and creativity.

You have come into adulthood as a queer or trans person and you’re realizing that everything is a lot harder than you envisioned. Some of what’s happened to you in your past is coming back to affect you, or maybe has for quite some time. You’re learning more and more that many places in the world haven’t been designed for you, or that the spaces you find yourself in don’t account for the real you. You don’t feel very good about yourself and everything you've tried so far hasn't made the impact you've wanted it to. You’re stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, lonely, or scared - or maybe all of the above.

There is power in being witnessed as you are; a whole, complex, and beautiful human that contains multitudes. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from yourself and from other people, or perhaps you feel anxious and overwhelmed, stuck in a cycle and exhausted. Most of us have learned how to make ourselves smaller in order to navigate our world as safely as we can, suppressing our own needs and desires as a survival strategy. You have done what you can to protect yourself, and you deserve so much more

Now accepting new clients. Being human is a messy experience. It’s full of the ache to be cherished, to be loved, to feel a sense of belonging. While riddled with inevitable grief, loss, and suffering. It takes courage to love again even in our awareness of the potential heartbreak, to show up in the world as ourselves, to be vulnerable in fear of rejection, and move towards the things we fear. If you are facing sadness, anxiety, trauma, dependence, finding & contacting a therapist may be just as daunting a process! You are already closer to living your fullest life and truest self by acknowledging you need to look for a therapist!

We all have difficult experiences during our lives. These can include loss, grief, change, death of a loved one, illness, and many other situations that disrupt our lives and sense of self. During these challenging times it is important to feel heard and seen. I am here to listen and to help my clients find and nurture their own strengths to manage through and grow from difficult experiences. Change can be sad, scary, and exciting, but it is my goal to help my clients work through all of these feelings.

I work with women, queer, and trans people of all genders to support you to love yourself and your body. It's my hope that our work leaves you feeling more free, alive, whole, and capable of having authentic connections with yourself, your body and others. Through our body-based or somatic work together, you will identify what truly matters to you and gain practicable skills that will help to align your actions with your vision for your life. To trust your body and yourself is your birthright.

If you have been plagued with worry resulting in cycling and negative thoughts, fear and doubt, trauma, sadness, stress, sleep disruption, and substance abuse, I can help. Do you struggle to remain sober, drink, or use more than you realize? I can help you develop achievable goals and a healthy support system to decrease relapse potential.

I’m a nationally credentialed and licensed therapist who specializes in helping tweens, teens, and young adults (ages 9+) with their mental health challenges. My clients are kids, teens and young adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationships, loss and grief, and sensory sensitivity concerns. My clients desire stronger relationships, stronger ability to handle big emotions and conflicts, fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression, and more understanding of themselves.

Therapy offers something unique: a space set aside for the sole purpose of getting to know your life. Many seek therapy out of the desire for change. As hopeless as a life or relationship can feel, the desire for change is enough to begin working towards something new. Therapy can be a great aid in this effort. Your struggles with anxiety, depression, sexuality, relationships, feeling lost and disconnected - are overwhelming to face alone. Through therapy, I believe these struggles can be bridges of connection, to life and those you love.

Are you feeling exhausted from another day of near-constant anxiety and finding yourself thinking "what is wrong with me?" Do you spend so much time people-pleasing that you have no idea who you really are? Do you find yourself overthinking every possible detail to no end? You've been trying really hard but just keep spinning your wheels with no change in sight. What if instead, you felt in control of your life and safer being more authentically you? What if you stopped ruminating and could just enjoy yourself for once? What if you felt less self-doubt, more confidence, and a better understanding of why you are the way you are?

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, self esteem, SUD, and struggles related to life transitions. I help clients find the solid ground they need to support forward movement and a more positive trajectory. I begin by working with clients in developing a deeper understanding of themselves to arm them with the knowledge necessary to address their problems and make changes necessary to develop more adaptive coping strategies and improve the quality of their lives. I am non-judgmental and work to create a space in which clients can freely explore, uncover, and accept themselves more fully to live fuller, more meaningful lives.

Clients who feel at home in my practice are seekers, empaths, gifted & successful types ready & willing to create lasting radical change. You crave meaning, fulfillment, integrated awareness & true intimacy with Self. You consistently move towards regulation & safety in relational frameworks through Conscious connection. You value holistic & traditional psychologies. You embody your light & shadow aspects. You believe the science of change, organization & healing requires repair on ALL layers & multiple psycho-spiritual methodologies. Women, Men & Couples struggling, stuck or lost, internally or in relationship, are core clients.

I work with men who have difficulty identifying with their feelings, struggle with depression and anxiety, or have issues with their work/life balance. My clients typically struggle with expressing themselves in their relationships. They feel lonely, hopeless, and isolated. They are overworked and under loved. In our work together, I will give you support, feedback and insight, and constructively challenge patterns and beliefs that may be getting in your way. Together we can strive to understand the roots of the struggles you are experiencing in your life.

My approach is based on the idea that current difficulties are rooted in unresolved feelings, thoughts, conflict or coping styles from the past. I help people understand the patterns in their lives and connections to the past so that they can live more effectively in the present.
