I have special interest and training in the following: PTSD/EMDR; LGBTQAI; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT); adolescent mental health; family therapy; grief/loss; compulsive hoarding; positive psychology/life coaching; and shame/low self-worth.
What motivates personal growth and achievement of our full potential and deepest life fulfillment? How can we balance the demands of daily living while also not losing sight of what most inspires us? How can we keep going in the midst of the deepest pain and despair during a dark chapter in life? After 20 years as a therapist, I fully appreciate that all of us are driven to achieve the full realization of who we are and be as fully content and engaged in life as possible. I will connect with you as a caring, authentic, and knowledgeable ally. We will explore new insights, opportunities, and and steps forward at each session.

Entering into therapy is a brave act, I'm here to make that feel easier.
I support adults, 25 and older, to attain post traumatic growth, relief from overwhelming emotions, and create affirming meanings about their life experiences. My clients explore long held patterns, build safety within strong emotion, and expand their tolerance for distress. Through use of focused mindfulness, these clients develop authenticity, radical self love, affirming narratives, and wellness based habits that assist in overall self development. Clients from marginalized communities and identities will find a safe and inviting space with me. I am passionate about social justice, and operate from an anti-oppressive framework.

We’ll integrate science-based treatments like Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) with embodied healing tools like meditation and yoga.
NOTE: At present, I am only accepting new clients for RO-DBT Skills Classes, beginning 2025. Contact me for more info about class! I help stressed, perfectionistic students and professionals learn how to relax. Too much self-control, or overcontrol, makes it hard to enjoy life and connect meaningfully with others. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re always ‘on’, performing, or wearing a mask. Overcontrol can lead to anxiety, depression, disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and intimacy avoidance. You don’t have to struggle alone–I’ve been a therapist helping LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other folx get unstuck for over 10 years.
