To make your life easier, I offer all-online telehealth sessions so you don't have to worry about traffic, transportation, or inconvenience.
As non-binary and trans folx we often find ourselves wondering "where do I belong in this world?" and "why can't I just be myself?" It seems like we've tried everything but we dont feel like we belong or we are in a safe place to live & work. We often wonder when its going to get better? When can I just live my life fully how I am? Sometimes we feel sad and it can be a very lonely place. We can even forget just how special and unique we are because we are so different and surrounded by those who just don't get it. We really want someone who can connect to us &make our experiences feel validated, reminding us that we are beautiful.

Some of my specializations include anxiety, depression, peer conflict, interpersonal relationship issues, and phase of life adjustments.
Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. So why therapy now? What are your hopes and dreams for the future? Problems only survive when they are supported by particular beliefs and principles. This can feel like a relentless need to escape a moment that never ends. Exploring the details and effects of these obstacles will help lead to different outcomes not yet discovered.

I work through an intersectional lens to help adults and teens who are diagnosed or self diagnosed as neurodivergent, as well as individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, CPTSD, or general life transitions or stressors.
Does it sometimes feel like you are struggling to just exist? As a Queer, Latina, AuDHD (Autistic/ADHD) therapist, I get it! Many spaces in this world are not designed for us, and sometimes even work against us. Your feelings of overwhelm and othered-ness are justified, but that shouldn't stop you from building the authentic life you deserve. Have you been labeled as weird, quirky, too sensitive/emotional, lazy, or overall just too much? Are you someone who does not fit the normative societal standards because of your sexual/romantic orientations, gender presentation, or for practicing consensual/ethical non-monogamy?

I use self-compassion training to dismantle the judgment, shame and self-blame that drive depression, anxiety and psychosis.
Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

Anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, lack of motivation and traumas do not have to rule your life.
“To see and hear what is here, instead of what should be, was, or will be. To say what I feel and think, instead of what I should. To feel what I feel, instead of what I ought. To ask for what I want, instead of always waiting for permission. To take risks on my behalf, instead of choosing to be safe and not rock the boat.” ― Virginia Satir. I want to help you be your authentic self. Together we can uncover what is holding you back from living your truth. Whatever the root, you are in a safe space to release current or past trauma and beliefs not serving you.

I have experience in couples work, sexual abuse, physical abuse, developmental trauma, sex/love/porn addiction, depression, and anxiety.
Life has a way throwing curve balls. From unexpected challenges to fluctuating deadlines, life sometimes causes us to feel like we are aiming for a moving target. Relationships are guaranteed to have pitfalls that can surprise anyone. Trauma often is the leftover when a home or society is not welcoming, when violence has been perpetrated on you, or when you are faced with overwhelming loss. You will need access to your internal resources when addressing past and present trauma. Living life with a centered mindfulness can help guide you to wholeness.

I have experience and interest in working with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, history of trauma, relationships, substance use and abuse (including sex addiction), sexually deviant thoughts, sexual abuse, and sexual intimacy.
In dealing with stressors, life events, challenging relationships, and traumatic experiences we develop patterns to keep ourselves safe and sane; which often also limits us. The challenge is unlearning these narratives and trusting our innate wisdom. When we feel safe, secure and accepted for who we are we can begin the process of shedding what doesn’t work for us, while exploring our untapped potential. I believe you are the master of your story; and I hope to create a safe space where we can gain insight about your inner battles, develop skills to enhance holistic development, and realize the potential of your authentic self.

Anxiety, depression, transitions, and other difficult situations are all a normal part of experience, but as life would have it, they don't always show up at the most convent of times. You are likely reading this because it is one of those times. The question now is what do you do about it? It may just go away or it may not. Consulting with and then finding the right therapist is a good place to start.

I know well that throughout Life, we can all feel isolated, confused, anxious and weary.
After growing up in a small industrial town in Ohio, I earned a bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University in the nascent field of Psycholinguistics. Upon graduation I became an activist at its inception when West Hollywood became the “first gay city in the US”. As a manager of a major niteclub I'm proud to have the doors for guests and staff alike without regard to race, sexuality, gender identity, or abledness and my Practice reflects such inclusivity. I see primarily Adult Individuals of any age; as well as teens ranging in age from 14yo+; and Couples.

Therapy works. Emotional relief is possible. Changing your life is possible. It takes hard work, dedication, and support from someone who really cares. That's what I offer. I believe that in looking at how we relate to others and ourselves both now and throughout our lives up until this point, we can come to a greater understanding of ourselves and therefore can change. I cater my approach to the individual, couple, family, or group as I get to know you and your needs. When appropriate, I also use dream analysis, meditation, play therapy, and art therapy.
