I specialize in supporting clients (ages 14+) with multicultural identities, grief, and healthcare trauma.
You don’t have to be in a crisis to deserve support. Maybe you’re feeling burned out, unmotivated, or just not like yourself. Perhaps you’re navigating the pressure of cultural expectations and feel like you have to "save face" even when things are falling apart. You’re looking for a space that feels real, relaxed, and nonjudgmental. A place where you don’t have to impress anyone and can finally be honest about what’s actually going on. Whether you know exactly what’s wrong or just know something feels "off," you belong here. We can take things one step at a time, at your pace.

If you are navigating boundaries, identity, grief, relationship difficulties, or cultural disconnection, I offer relational therapy that centers your full humanity.
Accepting Individuals and Couples — Virtual Only My clients are thoughtful, self-aware people who are doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck. They may carry responsibility for others, struggle with boundaries, overthink decisions, or feel disconnected from themselves. Many are navigating identity, relationship complexity, or life transitions. They want honest support, deeper healing, and a space where they do not have to translate themselves or minimize their story.

I believe therapy is a tool that can help us find things like joy, self-love, clarity, and fun amidst a world where certain realities are appropriately met with feelings of anger, fear, worry, grief, and pain.
Hi! I'm Fox and I absolutely love what I do. Over the last ten years I have worked with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, shame, self-harm, suicidal ideation, interpersonal relationships, past + current trauma, and those who are exploring sexuality and gender identities. In session, we are a team: I bring knowledge and tools to help water seeds already planted (and maybe help plant new ones or gently dig out old ones). With couples, my goal is to help each person identify their needs and communicate them effectively so you're confident in the decisions you make moving forward, regardless of the outcome.

I help men show up for their lives without hiding from themselves. My ideal client is the guy who’s done everything “right” on the outside but feels lost, stuck, or angry on the inside. He might be the dependable partner, the hardworking professional, the solid friend — but he’s carrying the weight of expectations, buried emotions, and the quiet fear that he’s not really okay. I work with men navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, identity questions, and the pressure to “have it all together.”

My name is Sam and I work with adults (18+) providing LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming mental health therapy focusing on anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, life transitions, family of origin, relationships, body neutrality, and neurodivergence.
Therapy is the relationship. We're two people in a room building trust and safety. It takes courage to be vulnerable, and I admire that. My practice is grounded in creating safety within the therapeutic space that is both trauma-informed and intentional.

Reaching out for help is one of the most vulnerable things we do in life. You may want to learn more about your patterns, your identity, or your relationships. You may feel stuck, confused, alone, overwhelmed, or totally lost. You might be having trouble functioning at work, school, or home. Finding a safe place to land and unpack whatever is getting in your way is so important, and all of us need help along the way.

Together we explore grief, anxiety, depression, identity related to a diagnosis, boundaries, establishing positive habits, and acknowledging how systems can impact their life.
Sometimes you find yourself stuck in situations where relief feels unreachable. If you could have found relief on your own, you probably wouldn't be endlessly scrolling here. The answer is often seeking outside expertise with mental health experience to co-create the relief you need. Together we can identify new perspectives and skills to facilitate the change you need. You aren't alone, greater connection is possible, and hope is possible through the work done together in therapy.

I often work with individuals navigating grief, complex trauma, OCD/intrusive thoughts, religious trauma, and neurodiversity.
I love working with teens. These years are so confusing, awkward, exciting, lonely, & everything in between. I want to hear about the show you're obsessed with & the annoying thing happened today, along with all the stuff you don't talk about because it feels like no one will understand. Therapy is a soft space for you to land and explore at your own pace.

I also have a lot of practical strategies to practice in sessions, including guided visualizations, grounding exercises, breathing exercises, self compassion exercises, mindfulness strategies, parts work, and other body-based coping mechanisms.

This includes grief work and issues that accompany trauma-related treatment, such as anxiety, depression, and existential/spiritual issues.
Art Therapy involves creating art, often pictures, to describe situations or feelings that may be difficult to verbalize. This can help us to express conflicts, explore options, and illustrate hopes for the future. Attuning to the physical body can provide additional insight into the ways we cope and hold tension physically and emotionally.

My counseling clinic name is Pain Alternatives because my early practice was primarily in structural medicine. I became interested in mental wellness after years of seeing the inextricable connectedness of mental and physical pain. In my current practice, I use a time-limited dynamic psychotherapy model, and medication prescription and management wherever clinically appropriate. You can come for medication management alone, for counseling alone, or for a combination of medication prescription and management with counseling sessions.
