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.

Are you a parent frustrated with behavioral challenges? Have you researched ways to “get your kids to listen” but found limited results? Does your child suffer from crippling anxiety, or are you pregnant, postpartum, and feeling lost, sad, anxious, or overwhelmed? These challenges are treatable. I help families find solutions, develop plans, and implement effective strategies. Using evidence-based methods, I resolve conflicts, improve behavior, and enhance family functioning.
Are you experiencing overwhelming stress, lost in overthinking or wondering am I good enough? Perhaps you have trouble saying “no” and maintaining boundaries, or are often measuring yourself up against others? Or are you weighed down by sadness and at a loss of hope, struggling with self-esteem and battling thoughts of being deserving? Please know you are not alone and there is support available. My hope is to help you gain insight, create new connections and achieve the change you want for you.
Are you an adult who hasn't fully gotten over how you were treated as a child? Do you struggle with anxiety or PTSD symptoms? Do you keep repeating the same negative relationship patterns or have negative beliefs about your worth? Are you overcome with sadness about the childhood you should have had? Have you experienced emotional neglect and/or feel that you weren't emotionally cared for as a child? If any of these resonate with you, I can help.
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!

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.
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.
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 have worked with an array of concerns including depression, anxiety, multicultural issues, trauma, life transitions/stressors and LGBTQ+ related issues.

Do you feel tense all the time and get stuck in the past? Do you have endless worries and feel overwhelmed by grief and loss? Are the painful memories and terrible thoughts weighing you down?

Counseling with me is a judgement-free zone. You are worth the work and deserve to feel better today!
Clients come to me to work on issues of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, recovering from sexual assault/sexual abuse, and for exploring issues of sexual identity or sexuality issues. I am comfortable working with individuals, couples, and entire families — and I am comfortable working with adolescents and adults. I am in-network with several insurance panels.
I address anxiety, life transitions, stress, and trauma, and also welcome those without a specific diagnosis who are simply striving for improved well-being. The journey can be challenging to navigate alone, but recognizing the need for support is the first courageous step towards breaking free from stagnation and experiencing genuine, transformative change. If you're motivated for change but need support finding your path, I'm here.
You might be struggling with something concrete—a challenge in your relationships or a professional hurdle. You might be facing a big decision. Or you simply might know something feels off but are unable to place a finger on what is going on. No matter the issue, I am here to walk you through the process.

"Is this really it?, Is this all there is?" Sounds a little too familiar? Life is feeling chaotic, unfulfilling, or just blah. Some days it feels like you have it together, some days it feels like one wrong move and everything is going to fall apart. Anxiety, self-doubt, and depression are all holding you back. 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.
