Therapy can be about reflection, growth, self-discovery, problem-solving, or any combination of these experiences. At its core, therapy is about honesty: being more honest with yourself and others, and learning how to live your life in a way that honors your true self. You are smart and capable, but perhaps you are experiencing a struggle that has left you feeling lost, confused or stuck. You may be seeking a safe place to talk about what you’re going through and find a way to heal. As a therapist, I believe that you are the expert on yourself, not me.

Are you feeling stuck, discontented, or hopeless? Do you find yourself wondering if there is more to life? You are not alone. Many of us find ourselves stuck in patterns of thought and behavior that leave us feeling discontent, disconnected, and unworthy. I believe that we are all born worthy and born with an inner wisdom that guides us towards meaning and authenticity, My goal as a therapist is to support clients in learning to access their own inner wisdom by learning new ways of relating to emotions, relating to others, and relating to themselves.

Are you isolating from others, judging yourself, putting others’ needs before your own, or feeling a lack of purpose/hope for the future? Feeling stuck, anxious, hopeless, irritable, moody? Do you experience low self-esteem, a loss of interest in activities/people, strained relationships with others, a sense of grief of the old version of yourself? Are you keeping yourself busy so you don’t have to think about the state of your life? Or doing the opposite – can’t getting out of bed because your life is not what you imagined?

If you have been struggling with depression and/or anxiety, you are NOT alone. Whether it has been a lifelong struggle of yours or it has been brought on by recent life transitions and/or stressors, depression and anxiety can be crippling and can negatively impact not only ourselves, but those around us. I hope you will allow me to work with you to alleviate those symptoms and cultivate new coping strategies that you can use to get back up when life knocks you down.

As a therapist, I feel the most genuine offering I can provide is a non judgmental, culturally mindful approach that connects with you as the client wherever you are in your individual journey.

I show up in every session with the intent of connecting from a place of authenticity, empathy, and mindfulness.

Not Accepting New Clients - My clinical practice mainly consists of fellow queer and neurodivergent folx who struggle with complex trauma. Common concerns include self-abandonment through people pleasing, exploring gender/sexual identity, executive dysfunction, immense shame/guilt, perfectionism, identifying community supports, and processing underlying traumatic experiences. My clients often come into session looking to better understand who they are and what really works for them. Many times they feel so detached from themselves and their own bodies that it has been hard to even know what they want from life or who they are

Am I where I want to be right now? Am I truly living the life I was destined to live?  At some point in life we ask ourselves these questions, and ponder how to fulfill them.  As a therapist, and more importantly, a human being, I'm here to help, or simply offer a safe place to unload, be heard, and to find meaning.  Together, we can learn to manage the range of emotions experienced while navigating life's ups & downs.  Whether it be the transition from high school or various stages in adulthood, together we'll look at the impacts of your past and the promises of the future, while remaining firmly grounded in the present.

Let’s be honest, the ebbs and flows of life can sometimes derail us and in other times, we find that we excel. The journey forward isn’t always clear and is often met with obstacles that feel insurmountable.

I strive towards working together in a collaborative effort to cultivate an environment where clients grow in their security to express themselves, BOTH authentically AND freely.

Experiencing ongoing, underlying anger? Having difficulty concentrating at times? Or problems sleeping? Overly anxious or feeling depressed? Or, is life a bit overwhelming at this time?
