pragmatic, downto earth style. Each client’s therapy is individualized, collaborative and strengths based. I help clients learn to regulate and manage feelings that overwhelm them and negatively affect their thoughts, moods and attitudes that, in turn, lead to destructive behavior. Whether it is anxiety, depression, diminished selfesteem, or relationship issues, individual clients come to understand their present circumstances in light of their past. I am committed to helping clients improve relationships and gain selfknowledge, in order to create meaningful, joyful and healthy lives

The world we live in does not set us up to intuitively connect with ourselves. The demands of productivity can erode our most important relationship: the one we cultivate with ourselves. Maybe you've arrived face-to-face with a new or unfamiliar part of yourself. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, lonely, anxious, depressed, unworthy, or not (fill in the blank) enough. You might be someone seeking support in navigating relational difficulties, past or present. Wherever you’ve found yourself, it can help having someone beside you as you begin to make sense of the push and pull of life's tides.

My intention is to provide a supportive and attuned therapeutic relationship that invites you to safely explore your experience in life with curiosity, kindness and acceptance. You might be aware of a specific issue you'd like to work on, or perhaps you are impacted by a more general perception of yourself as somehow flawed, inadequate, unworthy, unloved, or like you just don't belong. I focus on helping people in these areas as well as problems related to depression, anxiety, attachment/relationship issues, self-esteem, shame, LGBTQ+ issues. I believe in a holistic, client-centered approach to counseling.

You’ve grown up wondering if you’re weird, wrong, or at fault. You feel like you don’t align with your family, your assigned gender, or traditional relationships. You wonder if you speak the same language as others in your world. You’ve tried to fit in, get things done, and meet others’ standards, but have always felt like you’re missing the mark. You feel stuck, like everyone else knows something you don’t. Now, you want guidance, support, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your ideal life.

If you seek healing, learning, or growth… If you embrace curiosity, awe, or the unknown… If you are a mystic, a polytheist, an INFJ, or just plain different... then I might be the therapist for you. You want more than just an empathic listener (though I am that). You want support as you transform your feelings, actions, relationships, and spirit, helping you live a life richly infused with your values. You want a therapist who can think creatively. If you're LGBTQ+ - welcome, I'm a non-binary transwoman (she/they). If you're BIPOC - welcome, I'm white and keen to play a part in ending racial injustice.

Often, a sense of disconnection brings clients to therapy, seeking more agency, choice, and belonging in their lives. Many people experience a tension in desiring both stability & change, surrender & control, freedom & its’ limitations. The distress behind these mutual and conflicting needs is part of what clients want to explore when they choose to work with me. I work with individuals, romantic or platonic partners, and adult families who want to deepen their sense of connection to life, to their relationships, and to themselves. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+, identify as neurodivergent, or are in mixed-neurotype relationships.

Life is overwhelming and can be chaotic and messy but healing is possible! I provide S.A.F.E. EMDR Therapy. EMDR is an effective treatment for many issues such as PTSD, Anxiety, Phobias, Depression, and more. EMDR is a neurocognitive approach that helps the brain to make sense out of past and present experiences in alleviating symptoms so they no longer impact daily living and relationships.

I'm glad you're seeking support! I’m particularly passionate about supporting people who are working through sexual shame, navigating ethical non-monogamy, and those who identify neurodivergent (specifically Autistic or ADHD), queer, and/or BIPOC. I believe that community is at the core of our being. Despite that, relationships (platonic, romantic, or otherwise) are complicated. Navigating challenges that arise and staying curious can allow you to find ways to heal and discover your truth.

Trauma comes in many forms. It can be from childhood abuse, car accidents, toxic work environment, toxic relationship, racial injustice, war, rape, bullying, natural and manmade disasters like wildfires and earthquakes. You may have the symptoms of PTSD but not have explicit memories of the traumatizing experience. EMDR walks you through a series of steps to help decrease the symptoms of PTSD (nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, insomnia, avoidance and hopelessness about the future). It also helps to map out a plan to deal with future triggers and gives a renewed and positive belief system about the self. I offer a free consultation.
