I work well with people who are struggling with mental health concerns following traumatic experiences including narcissistic abuse, intergenerational trauma, sexual abuse and experiences related to their minority identity (gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, race, ethnicity, etc.). I am a good fit for people who have trouble identifying or communicating their needs, and struggle with a sense of chronic loneliness or depression. My style is also suited for folks who feel stuck in their life.

I understand how overwhelming mental health struggles can feel, leaving you lost, alone, and unsure if anyone truly gets what you're going through. It’s normal to wonder if the care you’ll receive is genuine, and I want to assure you that when we work together, you’ll have my full attention and support every step of the way. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Let’s work together to create the change you’re seeking.
I love working with: Kids and teens working through anxiety, depression, dysregulated emotions, trauma, understanding family dynamics, self-harm, and low self-esteem symptoms. Young adults and adults working through PTSD symptoms, anxiety, depression, generational trauma, working through chronic somatic systems, identifying boundaries, life transitions, building self-esteem, and working on healing self.
I support people desiring a safe space to explore their emotions, heal from past trauma, and find healthy ways to express themselves. Let's work together to deepen your self-insight, cultivate peace within your body and mind, and find more joy and in your daily life. I specialize in working with people seeking support with: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family dynamics, past trauma, self-confidence, and addiction. Thank you for being here.
I create space for clients to explore sexuality, gender, relationships and life transitions. I am kink and ethical nonmonogamy informed. Some of my clients are working on issues related to their identity, desire, or relationships. Other clients are looking for a space where they can work on anxiety, depression, or stress in a safe, informed and welcoming environment.
Life can sometimes feel like being in a car wash—things are coming at you from all sides, you can't see clearly through the suds...and, somehow you are stuck in place while being pushed forward at the same time! Times like these can be confusing, anxiety-provoking, and very stressful. Whether you are struggling with relationship challenges, career confusion, or feeling lost during a big life adjustment, I can help you make sense of things and find a clear path forward.

Are you struggling with anxiety or panic attacks? Are you having challenges with sleep, racing thoughts, or feeling on edge? Is it hard for you to say no and stand up for yourself? Do you feel like you can’t express your needs in relationships? If life feels overwhelming, therapy can help you to feel confident in your decision making ability and empowered to set boundaries that work for you. You can assert your needs without feeling guilty.
Do you find yourself asking, "Why am I ______ (feeling/ thinking/doing) this?" and then feeling much worse as if shame would work this time? I want to work with you to identify the needs that your feelings, body, patterns and behaviors are trying to express to you to bring you a more fulfilled life (whatever that looks like).
It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition. I am excited to offer you a space to heal, learn and feel you are not alone.
When I first meet with people, some of my first questions I might ask are: - What made you hit the "Search therapists" button? - Do you have difficulty making decisions? - Feel stuck or lost when it comes to your direction in this busy life you've got going on? - Do you feel like things are just simply, unmanageable? I want my clients to feel at home in my office and talking to me about all of these questions, the way you feel comfortable talking to your closest friends and confidants.

When your relationship is suffering, you're suffering. Sometimes, incredibly so. Maybe the person you used to feel so close to now seems more like a distant stranger. Maybe a betrayal has left you outraged and alone. Maybe all the fighting and miscommunication makes you wonder at times what you ever saw in your partner at all. My clients are couples, individuals and families who want to love each other more fully and strengthen their bonds.
I'm currently working with clients of all ages and identities within my affirming practice. My areas of special interest include LGBTQIA+ clients, pregnancy and postpartum, trauma and loss, gender identity and transition, sex and kink, blended families, disability, neurodivergence, and somatic experiencing.
