You can usually manage the anxiety, but lately it feels out of control. Maybe you don't know what you're experiencing but you've had times where you can't breathe, your heart is beating out of your chest, and you feel desperate. Are there memories you've been trying to avoid that are resurfacing? You don't have to face the memories alone anymore. The very real pain of your your past can stay in the past, letting you live whole and free in the present.
You’ve spent a lot of your life just “getting through it”. But now that you’re through it (at least mostly), your past seems to be catching up to you. Your relationships with significant others, friends, family, and even yourself seem to be challenging. You’re realizing now that maybe “just getting through it” wasn’t enough. Slowing down is really difficult, but it’s time. This can feel scary to take on alone and I can support you on your healing journey.
I work with individual, couple and families suffering from anxiety, depression and/or behavior problems. Parents if your feeling hopeless on how to manage your child/teen who is acting out or struggling with depression/anxiety please reach out. Maybe your in a relationship and you can't seem to work out that fight you have everyday. I will work along side you, your relationship and your family in order to help co-dsicover the negative pattern that keeps people stuck, and unconnected.
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.
I specialize in individual and couple work and welcome the presence of partners and family members to enhance the therapeutic experience. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, have experienced trauma, are trying to reinvigorate romantic relationships, or live with anxiety/depression. I am happy to work with humans from all backgrounds, but I am especially trying to make space for LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse folx, as well as the polyamorous & neurodiverse communities.

I work specifically with adults struggling with sex-related issues. These include, but are not limited to: intimacy issues in relationships; lack of sexual education in young adulthood; infidelity; sexual dysfunction; couples in ethical non-monogamous relationships looking for guidance with communication or other relationships; and individuals who are in the kink, BDSM, or sex-work communities and would like informed therapeutic care.
I specialize in: childhood sexual abuse, incest, sexual assault, rape, sexual harassment, domestic violence, and intimate partner violence. Trauma can fracture who you are as a person.

There can be many responses to trauma, and all of them are justified. I can help you cope and heal from the impacts trauma.

Geeks, nerds, hackers, burners, and makers are my specialty! Tired of having a therapist roll their eyes when you talk about gaming?

You deserve a therapist who gets you in all of your delightful nerdiness and awkwardness. Therapy for geeks from a geek therapist might just be the support you're looking for.
