You might be feeling stuck in your life, discouraged or dissatisfied. This can show up as uncertainty about yourself, feeling anxious or depressed, and having a hard time coping with life’s many challenges. The pain and fears that led you to seek out therapy come out of stories and experiences that shape how you view yourself and the world.

It is a profoundly courageous act to seek help when you’re feeling broken or shattered.
Mental health shouldn’t be a privilege. So much of how we feel in our minds and bodies has to do with the identities we inhabit in the world and how our environments do or do not support us. Counseling is a tool that can be helpful when dealing with the natural anxiety, depression, and grief that can arise as a result of living in a culture that refuses to see you or value you. I work with folks through an anti-oppression and somatic (body-based) lens. As a Non-Binary and Queer therapist, I am passionate about the decolonization of the therapy space. The personal is political.

I practice mindfulness-based therapy, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and inner-directed therapeutic approaches.
You may have heard a saying that depression arises from living in the past, anxiety from living in the future, and the antidote for both is living in the present. Many of us push away the present moment with distractions, automatic behaviors, over-committing, substance use, and screen-time. Other times when we slow down enough to be present, we might not like the person we find ourselves to be - out of alignment with our environment or acting in ways that don’t match our values. However you are trying to get "un-stuck" or find a more authentic self, it helps to have a guide who can help you find footing.

We're on this journey together, figuring out what it means to act in alignment with what matters to us, and there are struggles that remind us that we need others in our lives to help.
Clients who are interested in their futures and willing to do the work between sessions, who are wanting to step into being their best selves and gain a greater understanding of the relationship they have with their emotional lives and the relationships they're involved in. They want guidance without being told what to do, and are wanting to build skills so they can better make their own decisions.
