I do my best work with creative & open-hearted individual adults who are dedicated to exploring their inner experience and moving towards greater self-awareness. Usually these folks struggle with anxiety, past family & personal trauma, sadness, creative blocks & difficult life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive & non-judgmental therapeutic space for reflection and change. That looks like a shame-free, co-created relationship where warmth, empathy & humor are not only valued, but encouraged.

I specialize in providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy with teens, adults, and relationship partners who are exploring their sexuality, gender, and relationship-expansive (kink, poly, ENM) identities.
There are infinite reasons we seek therapy. You may find yourself disconnected from your relationships and exhausted by not feeling understood. You may feel pressure to be a perfect person, partner and parent, or struggling to name your feelings or needs in your relationships. I strive to co-create an attuned, safe space and our collaboration will center around your hopes, goals, and intersectional identities. When we allow the unfolding of emotional experiences, it can lead us to the emergence of a deeper understanding of yourself, self-acceptance, and connecting to the power and participation you have in relationships.

I spent my first in the entertainment industry and am especially understanding and successful with creative individuals dealing with loneliness/depression, life transitions, relationship issues and creative blocks.
Every client is unique and my approach varies depending on the needs of the client. At the heart of my practice is listening carefully and maintaining a stance of curiosity with the goal of trying to understand my client's unique experience in the world. I believe the most important factor of successful treatment is not theory or technique but the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. I work collaboratively with a warm, empathic, down-to-earth style that helps individuals feel comfortable, where dialogue and the process of reflection and exploration allow insight and growth to develop.

Therapy is about having new experiences in an intimate relationship with someone who is your witness, teammate, challenger, and cheerleader all at the same time.
In a world in which panic, isolation, and grief have become our new neighbors, simply the idea of trusting another human being can be overwhelming. Therapy can help. What you might see as “symptoms” are ways that your unconscious communicates what you really need and value without words. Therapy is a space in which we can look at the story of your life and make meaning out of those "symptoms" together. I can help you translate the language of your body so you can learn to work with, rather than against yourself.

I strive to support you in your journey of self discovery and healing by showing up authentically and empathetically, providing a nonjudgmental and compassionate space, and developing an honest and secure therapeutic relationship in which you can feel safe to identify and work through the patterns and beliefs that are no longer serving you.
I specialize in working with Millenials, Gen Z, LGBTQ+ folx, who want to get to know themselves on a deeper level, improve relationships with self and others, and find more meaning and joy in life. I have a gentle and loving approach, while also working together to learn when I may need to challenge you or call you out on your blind spots that might be getting in your way. If you have ever struggled to untangle your identity, felt alienation from your community, religion, or even your family in a way that has made you question if who you are or your life choices are “bad,” I’d love to help you sort through that, and heal old wounds.

Areas of particular interest for me are depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.
I offer secure video/phone individual and couples therapy sessions. It is my belief that therapy is a two-way street. You get out of it what you put into it. If you apply yourself and your efforts are sincere, your chances of success and improvement are far greater. I view myself as a facilitator, at times, as a therapist. A conduit between you and your truths. And at times I see my role as being more assertive and providing guidance when need be. I also understand the need, at times, to provide my clients with more specific answers to questions that they might have regarding their mental health concerns.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
