You may be someone who has already spent time reflecting on your life and wants to understand yourself more deeply. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and insightful, but feel stuck in patterns they cannot quite untangle on their own. They may be facing relentless anxiety, intrusive thoughts and compulsions, grief, depression, major life transitions or recovery from trauma. Often they are asking deeper questions about identity, values, and direction and want a space to explore those “why” questions and make meaningful changes. Many of my clients are also neurodivergent, and you will find this a welcoming space to be you.

If you live with Autism, ADHD, OCD, chronic illness or pain, trauma, anxiety, or depression, you may feel drained by burnout, self-doubt, or the pressure to mask and “keep up
I’m a therapist who meets clients with authenticity, warmth, & acceptance. Informed by training in neurodivergence and chronic illness & disability counseling, I recognize that there’s no single “right” way to exist.

Are you facing a life change or transition and feel like you don't know how to move forward? I welcome you and understand that deciding to start therapy can be difficult. You may find it scary to decide to take this new path in discovering how to heal or to find ways to cope as you move forward on this journey. Our past and present can leave wounds, many times these are ones no one else can see, but you can feel each day. I want you to know that you don’t have to be alone on this journey. My goal is to be there as your support and help guide you to help make this journey feel less overwhelming.

My approach to psychotherapy is to help my clients understand their conflicts by getting at the roots of their wounds, so they are able to treat themselves with self-compassion and healing. The goal of therapy is not only to unburden the pain one carries but also to help transform the inner negative beliefs and cultivate radical self-love. My style is open, curious, and humorous.

I seek to create a space for people who have ever felt out of place, pressured to fit into boxes that don't reflect who they truly are, or follow patterns that don't serve them. My practice is rooted in the belief that authenticity is not something to fix, but something to be honored. I work with individuals and couples navigating neurodivergence, codependent relationship patterns, and those who identify as “minimizers” who want support coming out of their shell. I also support gender-diverse clients navigating social and medical transitions. My practice is sex-positive and knowledgeable of ENM/poly relationships.

I help stressed, burnt-out perfectionistics learn how to chill out and enjoy life. Whether you're a high-powered tech worker or healthcare professional, it’s exhausting to feel like you’re always ‘on’, performing, or wearing a mask. Too much self-control, or "overcontrol", makes it difficult to relax, be present, and meaningfully connect with others. Overcontrol can lead to anxiety, depression, disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and loneliness. You don’t have to struggle alone–I’ve been a therapist helping neurodivergent/neurocomplex, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other overcontrolled folx get unstuck for over 12 years.

I don't just help people change behaviors and their lives, but I help them figure out why these symptoms appeared in the first place by uncovering the unconscious reasoning behind patient's thoughts and actions rooted in their unconscious minds and help them change those thoughts/behaviors so they can change their lives and walk in their genuine identity.
