I enjoy interacting with clients who are courageous enough to seek counseling. I am passionate about providing an authentic, compassionate foundation to allow clients to get the help they need. Systemic, cultural, or societal expectations might leave you with your head spinning, and I welcome the opportunity to help you investigate ways in which you might control your own destiny. I am committed to working from an anti-oppression lens, meaning that I see and acknowledge your unique identity and recognize the impact society has on your daily well-being. Your individuality and diversity will be embraced.

I want to learn about your unique life experiences that have made you who you are. Your perspectives, passions, interests, and aspirations serve as invaluable tools in therapy and can help guide us towards the growth and future you envision. I strongly believe that therapy is an experience that must be built from trust and collaboration and I aspire to maintain a space same and judgment free. As such, I believe that being respectful and mindful of contextual factors that impact our lives (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion/ spirituality) is an integral aspect of therapy.

Is fear holding you back from doing what you need to do? Does everyone else seem like they've got their lives figured out, while you're still stuck in a rut? All of us carry beliefs about ourselves that were formed from our past experiences. We also strive to meet expectations, from both ourselves and others. Though we may recognize some of these as unfounded beliefs or unrealistic expectations, sometimes we just can't shake off the feeling that perhaps we're just not good enough. We might feel lost, as if we've been left behind while others have moved on with their lives. If this is what you're going through right now, I can help.

Chances are you've been feeling symptoms of anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD. Life feels overwhelming, getting out of bed is hard, you feel fearful over seemingly small things, you can’t seem to focus, you constantly lose things, you feel out of control, and what’s even worse: all of these symptoms and feelings are negatively interfering with your quality of life. You want help, but finding a primary care provider or mental health professional seems overwhelming and waits are too long.

The relationship I develop with both individuals and partners seeks to prioritize and build value around your own unique identity, as well as your singular and/or cultural understanding of wellness, safety, trust, and strength. Together we will explore the intersections of mind, body, community, and spirit to find new ways of being in the world that foster a lively and meaningful life. I consider you to be the expert of the meaning you pursue, and I value time spent letting you in on the “secret” of the therapeutic process so we can bend it to your individual need. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, as well as polyamory and kink affirming.

I believe finding a therapist you genuinely trust and feel safe with is the most essential piece to gain from any therapeutic intervention. As such, I strongly encourage you to be patient with yourself and listen to how you feel when searching for that fit. I value transparency; my style is compassionately direct. Psychotherapy can be uncomfortable because the process involves approaching the barriers that restrict you. In our work, we will approach discomfort together as I believe exposure and empowerment are catalysts for true change and personal growth.

Loss doesn’t only occur when someone dies. At times, the grief that accompanies loss can be debilitating. Whether it is caused by the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the loss of an opportunity, or the loss of faith in ourselves or our world, grief can make us question everything we know. But you don’t have to go through this alone. Together we can work through the pain of grief to accept the reality of the loss and adjust to living a new and fulfilling life.

There may be places in your heart that you are afraid to go. Feelings you don’t want to acknowledge. Struggles you don’t want to face. Brokenness you don’t want to experience. You may be surprised at the strength, beauty, and courage that you find inside. And, you don’t have to do it alone. You will find that meaning and purpose — a sense of self — are created by being where you are, feeling what you feel, without judgment or evaluation. And in this surrender, in the place of your greatest need, you will find movement toward what you desire most. My belief is that a heart at rest is where change happens.

My passion is to help men and women heal from painful experiences, including abuse, domestic violence, divorce, relational issues, and loneliness. I provide my clients with a safe and comforting space to process their pain. Together, we will work to understand the often unexplainable symptoms of grief, trauma, and loss and to identify those places in their lives where they feel burdened or overwhelmed. It is easier to identify trauma and abuse in others than in ourselves, especially when we are so used to putting others' needs before our own. I want every client to know they are precious, even in their brokenness..
