Therapy is about developing a new kind of relationship with one's experience. Much of our pain, suffering, and struggle stem from resisting the experience, judging it, and denying it. My work is dedicated to helping you embrace the challenges and find meaning in them by helping you slow down, enter the experience, and discover your potent spark. We have our answers within and by looking inside, our suffering finds meaning and transformation, our vision finds clarity and awakening.

My clients often find themselves in periods of transitions, feeling misunderstood, and navigating challenges with how they relate to themselves and others. You may be struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pressure from societal “shoulds”. Perhaps you are hoping to heal from trauma but unsure of where to begin. My individual and relational clients may also be seeking non-pathologizing support in navigating ethical non-monogamy/polyamory at any stage. Navigating the challenges of life can feel hard, scary, and at times, isolating. I am here to support you in that journey.

Finding a therapist is so much fun! Said no one, ever... I thrive in working with those who feel misunderstood, identify as outliers, enjoy thrill-seeking hobbies or competitive industries, have a complex relationship with substances, question the meaning of life, use dark humor, desire deeper connections, and have a nuanced view of death. Contact me to schedule a free consultation and explore how we can collaborate. Stay rad & be kind.

You're looking for help because something isn't working and you want to better understand what is keeping you stuck. I specialize in helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, complex trauma and disordered eating. Whatever you bring in, our first task will be to work together to find stable ground.

Ultimately, this work will allow us to interpret the world from a new viewpoint with newly developed knowledge. Through this insight, we move toward experiencing increased peace and potential.

Hello and welcome! I believe it is my role as a therapist is to guide you as you take steps towards positive life changes, healing, and a healthy mind. I meet clients where they are and am here to help you meet your goals. My philosophy is that healing lies within our connection to others. Together, we can explore what may be holding you back from being your authentic self and can identify core areas that need to be healed for you to create fulfilling relationships. Our therapeutic relationship acts as a soft-landing place in an oftentimes harsh world, as well as a space for education, empowerment, and authenticity.

I believe that emotional symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, are ways that our bodies and minds communicate with us. Through really listening and being present with you, I will help you explore these messages, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and heal old wounds. This process is profound in creating change, allowing you to experience more peace within yourself, live with more passion and presence, and improve the quality of your relationships. I am a licensed psychologist with a doctorate in clinical psychology. I have experience working with individuals of all ages who are seeking to live more full and engaged lives.

Are anxiety, depression, and trauma creating roadblocks in your life? Does it feel like there is a disconnect between you and the world around you? It is normal for the trauma stored in your body to create barriers to connection. Unfortunately, these barriers can be incredibly painful and difficult to cope with. You may be experiencing cycles of painful thoughts, days of numbness, or outbursts of anger.

Negative experiences shape how we think about ourselves, but they don't have to define us forever. We can learn new ways of relating to ourselves and the people around us via a variety of therapeutic modalities. With a therapist who can hold space for you with compassion and wisdom, you can overcome obstacles and cultivate resilient wellbeing. ​ I might be helpful to you if: You know what it is like to feel held back from life, but don’t know how to engage; You crave connection and community, but feel uncomfortable reaching out to others; You feel disconnected from your body – you may not recognize there is a disconnect.

Could you use some time that is set apart just for you? Too often life asks you to take a back seat, to forget all the wounds and suffering that lie hidden and ignored in the back of your mind. Together we will create a space separate from your life where you can safely explore your fear, sorrow, anger and aspiration. The space that we create will generate personal clarity, confidence and support in your daily life. We accomplish this as a team by using concrete, holistic, and analytical tools to build a solid foundation of personal health.

I work with adults, couples, and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, identity issues, relationship issues, and low self-esteem. I use an insight-oriented approach to help clients to understand themselves better and discover new ways to improve their relationships, build confidence, or process difficult experiences. I also work with couples to help improve their communication, build trust, and navigate life changes. Couples will learn skills to work better as a team while building a deeper connection. My clients are thoughtful, curious, and willing to go deep to understand themselves and their troubles from the inside out.

I love working with people struggling with anxiety, panic, trauma, or who are pregnant/postpartum, who are wanting to figure out how to function better and feel more contentment and calm—even in today's increasingly overstimulating, complex, and inequitable world.
