Life is tough and so are you. Maybe therapy seems like something you don't "need," but you want to move from surviving to thriving and know something needs to change. You want to feel better and get some relief but are not sure how to get there. Whether this is your first-time seeking therapy, or you have been before, it can be overwhelming to share your story with a new person. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can get to know each other and see if I am a good fit.
You’ve gone to therapy before, but nothing seems to stick. The things you’ve always done to cope aren’t working, but you can’t break free from those patterns no matter how hard you try. You have a hard time setting boundaries, advocating for yourself, and making the changes you want. You’re having memory issues and shutting down. You feel helpless, broken, and unacceptable. Your inner critic is loud and tough. You’re on edge all the time and exhausted. It's like you've been shattered to pieces.
Most of my work focuses on working with folks in the LGBTQIA spectrum to heal trauma, improve relationships, explore sex and develop a sense of wellbeing. During our initial sessions we will explore your life, your issues, and your goals to build a collaborative way forward. Throughout our work we will look to build insight and shine a light on all of the pieces that make you, you.
Do you struggle with your sexual or gender identity? Do you find yourself searching for things outside yourself to fill the void? Sometimes this is food, alcohol, other addictive behaviors...Do you feel anxious or depressed for seemingly no reason? Do you feel like you are working hard just to survive and want so much to thrive yet aren't sure how to do that? With a little help, you can live your life free of past trauma, free of unhealthy habits while embracing your true self completely!
If you struggle with self-doubt, self-criticism, poor body image, low motivation, excess anxiety, obsessive or intrusive thoughts, never feel good enough, or always put your needs last, go ahead and give me a call. I believe you have everything you need already inside of you to create the life of your dreams. I will help you unlock the fullness of this inner power. I’ll provide a casual, compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to do the profound work of healing.

Whether you are struggling in your important relationships, trying to cope with the impact of past trauma, or exploring questions of meaning and identity, searching for a therapist is a courageous first step toward building the life you've been wishing for. I offer a place to explore your questions, hopes, struggles, and joys in the context of a safe, connected relationship free of judgment. I invest my time outside of sessions in training and research to ensure I am offering you what works.
I believe therapy should be a safe space and focus on creating that for people who have experienced oppression and stigma. Anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, self esteem issues, body negativity, and negative thoughts touch all of our lives at some point, but there is always hope for healing. The populations I enjoy working with are LGBTQIA2s+, ethical non-monogamist, kink community, and spiritual trauma survivors.
I provide individual psychotherapy for a broad range of adult mental health problems including depression, anxiety, work stress and relationship concerns. In addition, I have interests in trauma and PTSD, geriatric mental health, caregiver support, coping with chronic medical illnesses and insomnia. Couple's therapy is provided on a limited basis.
In my practice, I am dedicated to creating a supportive and transformative space for individuals who are grappling with the dual challenges of anxiety and depression. I work with clients who may be using maladaptive behaviors as a coping mechanism to deal with their inner turmoil. If you find yourself turning to habits that provide short-term relief but know deep down they contribute to a cycle of distress, I am here to guide you towards healthier strategies for managing your emotions.
Do you feel stuck? Disconnected from yourself and everyone around you? Hiding from everything because it feels too exhausting to do anything more than basic functioning? Are you taking care of everyone else and neglecting yourself? Do you worry about EVERYTHING (and I mean EVERYTHING), and question every choice you make or thought you have? Do you feel overwhelmed, wondering if you’re good enough, or if you’ll finally be seen and accepted for who you are? I see you. You are not alone.

Do you always feel like you keep messing up? Keep making the same mistakes over and over again? Are wondering why you just can't get it right? I'm here to tell you you're not hopeless. You can do things differently to get what you want. But you can't keep doing the same thing and hope for things to change. Here's the truth: chances are you haven't learned the skills you need to have a fulfilling relationship where you feel heard and understood.

"Is this really it?, Is this all there is?" Sounds a little too familiar? Life is feeling chaotic, unfulfilling, or just blah.

You and I can work together to build a life worth living. We aren't looking for unattainable perfection. It's knowing that you will prevail even when life gets tough.

I treat a wide range of patients. The most personally rewarding part of every position I’ve had is getting to know people, talking with them, learning what makes them unique, and constantly rediscovering all the ways we are all the same. Medication management is an art and a science. There usually are many different acceptable treatment paths, and I enjoy getting to know my patients and figuring out what will work best for each particular person, given their preferences and personalities.
