Are you wanting to improve your relationship with yourself, your family, friends, and/or romantic partner? Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, unresolved grief, or trauma? Through therapy we can work towards healing, while identifying underlying thoughts and patterns in order to achieve long term progress. Gaining insight about our own internal "blue print" can afford us the ability to make changes that can potentially change the direction of our lives. I take a very eclectic approach, as I utilize interventions from various theoretical approaches, in order to tailor therapy to each particular client.

Women who identify as bisexual or pansexual often experience identity erasure. With harmful stereotypes that demean and over-sexualize you, it's all to common to hear that you're not straight enough for the cis men and not gay enough for the lesbians. So where does that leave you? Your identity is not fetish fodder, nor is it preventing you from committing to your partners. In this group, you will unlearn the internalized misogyny and bi/panphobia that has prevented you from truly accepting yourself along with other women who have similar experiences and identities.

Whether you're exploring gender or sexual identity for the first time, or have been out for 20 years, having a therapist that can relate to your experiences is vital. You may feel as though you didn't get the handbook of "how to human," or believe that there must be a secret ingredient that you've somehow been missing in order to feel better. It can be frustrating to feel as though you've tried everything just to be heard. If you've been taught to mask or hide your true self in order to survive in a world that constantly tells you that you shouldn't exist, it can be transformative to be seen and held as you are.
MotherRoots provides a space for mamas to gather together in a deep and intentional way.

MotherRoots includes a sharing circle amongst a council of mothers where we construct a safe and loving cauldron to share our personal struggles and triumphs in a courageous, vulnerable and respectful way.

Beginning the journey toward mental wellness is a powerful decision. It takes courage to acknowledge when life’s challenges such as substance use, trauma, anxiety, and depression become too overwhelming to handle alone. Seeking help is the first step toward reclaiming balance and inner peace. Taking that step opens the door to greater understanding, personal growth, and improved well-being. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges in a way that feels safe and manageable. It’s important to me that you feel heard, understood, and fully supported as you work toward your personal goals.

You have a very high standard for everything you do and yet, you never feel good enough. You are obsessed with outcomes because your value and worth is directly tied to your productivity levels. You often delay rest and sacrifice your own well-being. You are your worst enemy and often get in your own way because of the high expectations you have of yourself. You are constantly replaying the past or worrying about the future. You are afraid of behaving in a way that ruins the perfect image people have of you. You strive for perfection, always.
