Do you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety and perfectionism, feeling paralyzed by the pressure to get everything right? You may deal with a relentless inner critic that constantly makes you question your abilities and decisions, leaving you feeling like an imposter despite your accomplishments.
I believe in authenticity and the healing power of laughter; I bring these values into the therapy space and encourage you to bring yours. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults, helping them work through early childhood trauma, grief, and loss. I'm also passionate about promoting healthy masculinity and incorporate this lens into my work. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your challenges.
Have you been taught to silence your voice in a room full of adults, only to find that belief causing stress and conflict in your relationships today? Saying 'no' felt disrespectful to elders, and you were always the 'responsible one,' taking care of everyone—except now, you're struggling to stay afloat. If perfectionism, over-promising, and overwhelm feel like constants, let’s work together to break these patterns.
I have clinical training and experience in navigating issues stemming from complex PTSD, religious trauma, neurodiversity, gender identity exploration, and men’s issues. I also find that I work particularly well with the artistic and creative types; those who value expression in any of its forms.
I enjoy working with clients on relationship issues, anxiety, adjustment, trauma, and with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals, teens, couples, families, and children. My history working in community health settings with children experiencing behavioral issues and developmental disorders continues to inform my practice as a clinician. I have worked closely with families undergoing lifestyle transitions and young adults entering college.

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.

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.
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).
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.
I provide Counseling services for folks across the life span in multiple capacities and layers. I work with littles starting at 6yrs-old, tweens, teens & adulthood in many ages and stages. Areas of focus: Creatives, Service Industry Folks, The 3 A's=Anxiety, Addiction, & Anger
I specialize in supporting people with marginalized sexualities and relationships, including kink/BDSM, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and general concerns with sex / sexual desire. I understand how strong the shame can be here; my main priority is making sure you feel deeply heard, understood, and accepted. Not just by me, but by all parts of yourself as well. My hope is to help clients fully integrate these parts, even (and especially) the hidden ones.

You’ve worked hard and invested a lot to get where you are, but something’s missing. You're not thriving, you’re anxious, you're tired, you're overwhelmed. You worry that you’ve lost your drive, or you find that the goals you once thought mattered just don’t make you happy anymore. If you’re feeling stressed out, burned out, or unhappy with the life you’ve built, I’m here to help. I’m passionate about helping you tap into your wisdom and rediscover your deepest authenticity and joy.
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. I am also available for case management, advocacy, and solution-focused consulting.
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.
