I enjoy helping individuals who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, life transitions, as well as those who want to overcome various symptoms of trauma. Often people I work with are seeking more peace, empowerment, and healthier relationships with others and with themselves. In this, my aim is to help individuals feel more confident, attuned to themselves, and kinder to parts of themselves, even those that can be hard to accept.

Let’s take the first step together!
I understand that starting therapy with a total stranger takes a leap of faith. You hope that you will feel better but you can't help but worry that you wont. While I treat a variety of issues, a universal element of my work has to do with helping people see that their "problems" are not insurmountable, nor are they evidence that they are weak, stupid, or damaged. It may not come naturally to you to feel compassion for yourself but I hope that through me you will see that you deserve it.
You are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled. Maybe your relationship feels like it is crashing and burning. Or maybe you feel like you friend circle has shrunk or that you are the last person standing with no romantic prospects. Maybe you are a parent just trying to get through the day. You have lost motivation, direction, and a sense of purpose. You are not sure when it started but you do not feel the same. Maybe you just feel alone and the voice in your head is saying “what is wrong?”
I work with couples, adults, and teens who are LGBTQIA+ and/or BIPOC folks. Some themes I love working with include grief, relationships, life transitions, boundaries, anxiety, and depression. Integration of altered states of consciousness, exploration of intersectional identities and intergenerational trauma are also common themes in my practice. I have a passion for helping folks get in touch with their inner knowing & becoming their fullest and most authentic selves.

On the outside, everything looks put together, but inside—whether within yourself or in your relationships—you feel disconnected, misunderstood, overwhelmed, and never quite enough. In the world, you may feel different or othered. You long to be truly seen and accepted, to cultivate a deeper, more loving relationship with yourself and those around you.
Have you been through a lot, yet struggle each day? You feel overwhelmed, stuck, and that life has derailed from what it once was or what you want it to be. Trauma profoundly changes all aspects of life, altering your worldview, relationships, ability to trust yourself/others, and sense of self. You want to reclaim your life, heal from the past rather than relive it, and are curious about somatic therapy. Whether you are here because of a single or multiple event(s), I am here to support you.

I work with clients to significantly reduce distress and undo longer-standing concerns.

Yes, the state of the world right now is overwhelming. But to be honest, you've felt this way a long time: anxious, uncertain, despairing. Do you respond by trying to do everything perfectly, plan five steps ahead, never make any mistakes? Do you have a persistent feeling of "not good enough" that follows you from work to relationships to family? Is your mind often racing with thoughts about what you could have done better or how you disappointed someone?
My clients are creatives, artists, healers, highly sensitive people, and empaths. They are also people who are struggling with chronic pain and/or fatigue, low self-esteem, people pleasing, attachment wounding, nervous system regulation and executive functioning.
Can you push through hard times? Sure - you always do. Life is challenging these days. But what if you can learn to feel really good, even when life is chaotic? What if reactivity, fear, guilt, shame, anxiety and depression wasn't your first go to? What if you could really be present in your life, work, and your relationships? My clients show up to create meaning, joy, peace, and resiliency in their demanding lives and relationships. They are engaged and work through the really hard things.
