I enjoy working with clients who want to find new ways to navigate life’s challenges as well as their mental health symptoms. They may be struggling with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety, trauma processing and triggers, interpersonal relationships, or addiction behaviors such as excessive spending, eating, or holding on to items that are affecting their well-being. Clients may want to identify patterns that are holding them back from the life they want.
AAre you experiencing anxiety, depression, or PTSD and you aren't quite sure how to improve things? Do you tend to emotionally eat to deal with life challenges and that impacts your mental health? Are you wanting a more holistic approach rather than just focusing on medication or talk therapy? I assist clients in identifying behavior changes ranging from improving nutrition to reduce symptoms to learning how to manage trauma triggers.
You can expect a safe and nonjudgmental space to address your concerns. In this, our goals will be to discover healthy and appropriate coping skills to managing mental health concerns. In doing so, you will have a better understanding of yourself and the concerns that bought you to see me while learning to live a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Do you find yourself feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Are you stuck in unhealthy behaviors or relationships either people-please or putting up walls? Do you shift between addictive behaviors and want to get to the root of it? I trust that you know how you want to feel though it does not always translating to feeling that way. If you feel stuck and wonder what is underneath and want to be more present in your life I am the therapist for you.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

My clients are often either grieving, caring for a parent or spouse, or experiencing their own chronic or terminal illness. Many of my clients are adult children caring for an aging parent. Oftentimes I help families have hard conversations about end-of-life decisions and potential moves into residential long-term care. It's true, there is always something more pleasant to talk about. And these conversations need to happen, too.
The stories we tell ourselves are just as important as the stories we tell those around us. We all deserve the healing that comes with being able to express who we are in a way that feels true. There is a lot going on in the world, and I want therapy to be a supportive and safe place to explore the different parts of yourself and help navigate the experiences you are having. Together we are working towards building resiliency and hope.
Because of my life experiences, it is important that any client I meet with supports racial justice and queer liberation. I enjoy helping clients zoom out to see the long game, generations long even. Gentle self gratitude when clients reflect on their growth or the success of a therapeutic practice is my favorite. I work best with clients who are willing to be challenged by patterns that are reflected back in session. I consult with fellow therapists who help me to be held and challenged too!
I work with many who feel isolated and alone in their struggles and worries. I help clients like you, address symptoms related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, trauma, relationship issues, attachment, sexual identity, grief, ambiguous loss, and parenting challenges.
You don't have to have it all figured out or even know where to begin. You just have to be curious about your story, your patterns, and what feeling better could look like. We'll find it together. My clients are ready to take a step toward the unknown in pursuit of wellness. They're ready to stop fighting their minds and bodies and instead develop a connection to themselves so they can live a life of well-being and contentment.

I will work to understand your “whys” in life and how your upbringing and family impact who you are today. I work with couples, families, and individuals to address trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, LGBTQIA+ issues, and other life stressors. I have an interest in religious trauma, and I have special training in Brainspotting, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Psychological First Aid. We will use these tools to reframe the past, rewrite your life’s narrative, and help you move forward.
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, prioritizing trauma, attachment wounds, and neurodivergence. Rather than treating neurodivergence, I guide clients to discover strengths and adjust their environment. Sessions prioritize self-regulation, allowing activities like stimming, walks, and the use of sensory tools. Clients are encouraged to request accommodations tailored to their sensory needs, fostering a supportive and personalized therapeutic experience.
I work with adults and teenagers as young as 14yo. I enjoy working with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I also have specialized experience working with people in the LGBTQ+ community, along with people diagnosed with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Phobias, and Substance Use Disorders.

If you are looking for a therapist who is accessible, present, fearless, and authentic, then we might just be a match. I love clients who are therapy veterans and know what they want (or what they don't). I also love to help clients who are new to therapy, and feel a little nervous, to feel secure and supported. Whether you have a trauma history that you need someone grounded to help you address, or just are feeling overwhelmed, or want to make your world better, I am here for it.
May openings available! I specialize in helping LGBTQ+ folks become your favorite version of yourself. Are you a queer, trans, or nonbinary person who avoids conflict by appeasing others? Do you overdeliver in your professional and personal life to the point of exhaustion? Do you find yourself prioritizing the people in your life and putting off your own needs? I would love to connect with you. I can help you communicate your needs, set healthy boundaries, and increase self-esteem.
I work with clients to help them better navigate their experiences and move through the world as their most aligned, authentic and grounded version of themselves. My practice is grounded in the understanding that systemic oppression, intergenerational trauma and societal pressures affect us each differently. I honor the experiences you bring with you as a client, and I know that you and you alone are the expert on your lived experience.
