Often times when we consider mental health, we may feel that we’re supposed to leave our spiritual experiences at the door. However, when we bring our fullest selves into the therapy room, it can add a layer of richness to our understanding of our own stories and the world around us as we strive to make meaning out of it all. As we begin our work together, I will start by creating a safe and sacred space for you to feel heard, understood, and accepted. I am committed to providing warm and empathetic guidance as you learn to access your inner wisdom and intuition; I firmly believe that YOU are the expert of your own life experiences.

Do you struggle with self-criticism and shame, with beliefs that you are “too much” or “not enough”? Have you learned to sacrifice your needs to show up for others? Is it hard to feel seen, to unmask, to take up space?

If you are ready to heal wounds from childhood, attachment and relationship issues, generational trauma, or from masking neurodivergence and having your sensitivity misunderstood, let's explore how curiosity and compassion can change your life.

As a psychotherapist, I help clients redefine how they live their lives. I am a licensed clinical social worker who sees children, adolescents and families as well as individual adults. By engaging in a series of conversations, I will help you to challenge the problematic assumptions and ways of being that prevent you from realizing the full potential of your life.
I work from a colloborative stance that assumes you are the expert on your life. But my own expertise in helping people overcome emotional problems, troublesome habits and relationship roadblocks can help you create new solutions to old problems.

Anxiety sucks. I get it. It can keep you stuck in an exhausting inner battle of fear and panic. Perhaps you have had a panic attack and worry about having another one. Or maybe you find yourself frequently worrying about your relationship with your partner. Obsessive thoughts might be keeping you up at night and disrupting your ability to focus at work. And you might feel frustrated or embarrassment that you can't get your anxiety under control. You might be trying to cope with your anxiety by staying busy, distracting yourself with technology, or turning to drugs or drinking. The good news is, it does not have to be this way.

Each of us has complicated ways of protecting ourselves from being vulnerable, and those self-protective tendencies are often outside of our awareness. Although powerfully protective, these old inner systems get in the way of living with ease. I work with all kinds of relationships and individuals to understand and heal by understanding old patterns of connection that may no longer be of service so that you can become aware and better resourced. Becoming aware of your habits of disconnection and choosing connection is an unfolding process. I am here to walk with you on that journey with compassion, presence, and perspective .

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.
