I utilize a relational framework when working with adults and older teens. Research has shown that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship you have with your therapist. The modalities change over time, but the need to experience trust in examining your inner landscape is essential and unwavering. I believe that the essence of the self is a sum of relationships you have experienced over your lifetime. I am also IFS informed, which looks at the system of your personality and how all of the parts of you fit together. The goal is to decrease conflicts/contradictions to establish a feeling of peaceful harmony within.

I see my role as a guide, active witness, and collaborator in my clients' exploration of themselves. My foundation is in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I like to use DBT's philosophical framework to support my clients in finding a balance between accepting themselves and their lives as they are while working to change or address their unique problems.

I provide therapy for adults based on proven methods that explore the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. This helps you gain awareness, skills, and motivation to let go of unhelpful beliefs, build emotional strength, and focus on what truly matters to you.

I welcome anyone seeking support for non-traditional identities and lifestyles, as some of the folks I see self-identify as multiracial, gender fluid, LGBTQIA+, kinky, or polyamorous/non-monogamous.

Life presents us with many challenges and transitions. Most of the time we are completely capable of navigating those life stressors alone with our own personal resources. Other times, a little extra support is required. Obtaining insight into why we make certain choices is crucial in order to change behavior patterns. An excellent therapeutic relationship can help you attain more success in relationships, your job, and with your life goals.

You navigate this world each day doing the best you can, but life's biggest sources of pain, confusion, or stress can leave you lost and overwhelmed. You have to just "figure it out". Therapy provides a space to step back and examine yourself: intentionally, and with a plan and goal in mind. I believe that therapy should ultimately allow you to "become" your own therapist, bringing what you learn from our work back into your own world. I will challenge your long-held beliefs and habits in therapy and encourage your honest self-reflection, but always with elements of humor and compassion.

As a former athlete, I uniquely understand the pressures that face athletes and performers. Being an athlete affects your physical and mental health, social life and personal identity, and it provides structure and motivation in life. Athletes historically have neglected and downplayed mental health issues and the mental side of performing, though they are affected by life stressors just like everybody else. I understand this dynamic because I lived it as a collegiate and professional soccer player prior to shifting to my career as a therapist.

My goal as a therapist is to assist people in achieving fulfillment and empowerment in their lives. Sessions aim to create a genuine, safe, and supportive environment for people to feel comfortable expressing themselves. I utilize a therapeutic approach that promotes a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. I have specific training in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy interventions which I use with people I work with in resolving their current and future problems.

Do you ever feel stuck in the same patterns, unsure how to break out? I find I am especially drawn to helping folks that consider themselves anxious or over-thinkers. You may be experiencing guilt, shame, or immense pressure in your daily life. Your inner voice may be critical and a bit too loud. Maybe you've turned to the internet, voraciously googling for answers or you may have turned to substances that began in moderation and teetered into indulgent. If you are looking for relief, clarity, and a quiet mind, I can help.

Are you wanting to have deeper connections with others? Are you feeling “lost” in knowing who you are or what you want? Maybe there is a life transition that feels overwhelming, and you don’t know how to take that first step. Is this keeping you from accessing freedom, joy, and authenticity? With a focus on poly, queer and trans individuals, relationships and families, I can help guide you from a place of “stuckness” to one where you feel intentional and in control of your life and circumstances.
