My clients are adults and adolescents who tend to identify themselves as highly sensitive, perfectionistic, and self-critical. They often feel intense emotions and have active minds that always seem to be "on". Using strengths-based, solution-focused, and mindfulness approaches, I help individuals learn to step back and notice their thoughts and feelings rather than be controlled by them. In addition to alleviating the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma, these skills allow people to connect with their values and pursue what's important to them.

You may be feeling like anxiety is taking over—whether it shows up as constant worries, racing thoughts, or big emotions that feel hard to control. Maybe school has become stressful, friendships complicated, or transitions (like starting high school or college) overwhelming. Or maybe you’re a young adult trying to find your place—juggling school, work, relationships, and identity. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what’s next.

I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship issues, life transitions, and identity exploration. I use techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), multicultural therapy, and strength-based therapy. I strive to understand clients within the larger context of their lives, not simply by their mental health symptoms. I take on a multicultural perspective when working with clients, and I am committed to utilizing culturally sensitive assessments and treatment plans.

I work with individuals & couples who are ready to build fulfilling & joyful relationships- emotionally, physically, & sexually. Clients find me when the fighting, emotional distance, & less than ideal sex are no longer tolerable. If you feel torn between staying & leaving, tangled in patterns of pursuit & withdrawal, or are carrying shame about who you are, I can help. Together we can slow things down, understand what’s underneath the reactivity or shutdown, & build steadier ways to connect—with yourself and with your partner. Isn't it time to move towards a more pleasurable & meaningful way of being with one another?

Thanks for clicking! Mental health is an important part of general wellness. It’s not about being a burden, weak, or needy. It’s about growth, skill building, and entering a safe place to uniquely express and challenge yourself. I’m here to help that process. Among other important parts of my identity, I am neurodiverse, Queer, and biracial. My approach to therapy is collaborative, often feeling less structured or less therapist-led than traditional therapy approaches. I believe this allows more space for a person to bring their whole self, finding an experience that caters to the individual person not an ideal or textbook client.

Hi, if you're like many of my clients, you're hoping to find a therapist who has worked with your kind of worries before, will listen without passing judgement and can offer a safe place to process as well as get some concrete tools to help you feel better. My clients often describe struggling with communication or compromise in relationships, hurting from a big loss, frustration with their kid's problems, feeling anxious, or having a hard time at work. Most of my clients want a therapist who is warm, authentic, can explain the "why" behind their "what" and is willing to engage, not just observe.

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 LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse clients navigating social and medical transitions. My practice is sex-positive and knowledgeable of ENM/poly relationships.

I have been working with kids, teens, and families for over ten years. Whether it has been in a children’s hospital, an intensive program, or a small community practice, I have continued to learn and grow alongside my patients. I believe that trust, compassion and a sense of humor allow for a strong therapeutic relationship. My philosophy is that all of us - kids, parents, and people - do well when we are able to do well.

Why spend your energy trying to cope with what is, when you could use it to create what you really want? I love working with people who are motivated to make significant life change, even if they don't know where or how to begin! I focus on teaching clients to separate thoughts from feelings, tap into their inner core of intuitive awareness, and use their own inner guidance system -- to move toward their goals, and away from old patterns and obstacles to growth. Along the way, we bring in interesting discussions, good books, homework, mindfulness exercises, and of course, some humor!

I believe that there is something positive to find in all situations. Therapy should be a positive step to change in life and I believe all clients have the power of change within them. I will help you or your loved one to find that power within and make positive changes in your life.

I focus on the evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (addressing the thoughts that keep you stuck) including classic Exposure Response Prevention, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training (working on mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance), and Schema therapy (the lifelong thoughts, behaviors, ideas about how we see the world and how we can heal the ones that make life hard) to assist you to make the changes in thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that help you become the person you want to be.

I have a passion for working with individuals who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community and/or those from varied cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. I recognize the importance of representation as a key component of empowerment, and I work with clients to foster understanding and celebration of their diverse experiences and identities. Most individuals who work with me experience identity questions, internalized or externalized prejudice, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.
