Anti- racism and fighting all oppression is central to my practice. I’m neurodivergent and love working with others who fall into this category (with or without an “official diagnosis”). Sorting through all your thoughts and emotions can be overwhelming. Sometimes one emotion or thought takes over and drowns out everything else. I’m here to help you find clarity and peace in all of it. Therapy in my office is about amplifying your authentic voice over all the noise.

I hold two fundamental beliefs about all humans; firstly, I believe every individual is infinitely unique. Secondly, I think every person can grow and be better than they are today. I believe my job is to help you find the tools and resources you need to continue growing. My favorite aspect of therapy is that it can be tailored to individuals' authentic thoughts, feelings, experiences, needs, or desires.

Transitions are hard, and life is full of them. Even though growing up, taking on innumerable firsts, and consistently feeling brand new is a part of the human experience, it can feel like with each new change you are losing a little part of who you are. Therapy is a great choice for finding the ‘you’ in the midst of transition. Whether you’re at your first ‘grown up’ job, adjusting to a pregnancy or new baby, newly engaged or uncoupled, or wondering how to make your relationship work now that the kids have all left the nest, you have not lost yourself.

Hi! I’m passionate about helping people reduce the spiral of anxiety, connect with themselves and others, and heal from past hurt. To help clients, I often start by establishing stability - learning to ride the waves out. After some stability, we work on healing the inner systems by understanding how and why those waves affect you.

Infertility sucks. There's no other way around it. Suddenly you're thrown into a new experience you probably never expected to have. You’re feeling alone, confused, scared, and anxious. Maybe you've been on this journey for several years and instead of success, you've been met with loss, grief, or frustration over failed treatments. Or maybe you're just getting started and feel anxious or scared of what's to come and what this will look and feel like. Navigating infertility and all that comes with it can cause us unexpected amounts of stress. The good news? As lonely and challenging as infertility can feel, it doesn't have to be.

Maybe you’ve been trying to “busy” yourself out of feeling anxious and angry, or still feel like you’re not good enough despite all you’ve accomplished and everything you do for those around you. It feels like if you can’t be “perfect” 100% of the time, it means you’re a failure. You sometimes look up from the endless items on your to-do list and wonder, “How did I get here?” The feelings of overwhelm, frustration, and disappointment in yourself or your ability to show up the way you want for the people you care about—those all stem from somewhere in your past. And more than that, they’re a sign that it’s time to make a change.

I believe we are innately whole - born with inner wisdom, the resources to heal and live authentically. Our wounding comes from generational and personal trauma and systems that oppress. The prolonged experience of feeling unsafe and unseen keeps us stuck in a protective pattern of surviving not thriving. The symptoms, if not annihilating, leave us disconnected, discouraged, drained. With compassion, curiosity, and connection I can guide you through the process of deep healing to transform your experience and relationships.

I believe that all humans have a resilient spirit which allows them to overcome any obstacle before them. Sometimes we forget who we are or perhaps we never fully knew. Maybe we felt we were never able to be our authentic selves. It's possible we think there's something wrong with us or we're broken. Or is it that we struggle to manage mental health symptoms and we become emotionally deregulated and filled with shame? Maybe you think that you have gone to far and there is no hope for you. You are not alone. I have helped countless people with stories like these and many more. What ever it is that is holding you back, I can help.

I believe everyone deserves to make sense, have a safe space to explore who they are and want to be, and figure out how to exist in the world they experience. I love to work with the LGBTQIA+, BIPOC/Multi-Racial, and athlete community. Traumas, generational trauma, relationships we have with everything around us, expectations/pressures, and oppressive systems can impact our sense of self, belonging, agency, and safety. Together we can work through your thoughts, feelings, emotions, judgements, sensations, beliefs, and memories to find your sense of self beneath the hard times you have endured.
