I believe in working collaboratively with clients and building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, honesty, and openness. I see my role as a curious, caring human being first and a clinician second. I encourage feedback and work diligently to tailor treatment to meet a client's needs, ranging from achieving short term specific goals, symptom reduction, and crisis management to long term growth work focusing on personal development, relationship patterns, and wellness maintenance.

You’d say that you are observant, conscientious, and driven. You pride yourself in your successes so far but struggle to take credit for them. You're hard on yourself but the thought of self-forgiveness or compassion brings up guilt. You're really good at being there for others and notice not receiving the same back. Self-doubt and loneliness keep you up at night and bleed into anxieties about work, relationships, and your kids if you’re a parent. You're not looking for temporary bandaids and believe sustainable healing is continuous and worth investing in. In relationships, you desire restoration of connection with your partner.

I hold space for individual adults, couples, children, and adolescents. From depression and anxiety, to life transitions, addiction, identity and relationship problems, I start wherever the client is and work collaboratively towards understanding. Whatever the obstacles between a client and their sense of meaning, purpose, authenticity or alignment, I help them move towards growth and change. I bring awareness and sensitivity to systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma that affect us all in different ways, and I respect the inherent wisdom of my clients' psyches to strive towards wholeness.

Do you have a difficult time imagining what safety looks like? Do you feel like there's a disconnect that keeps you from the truest parts of yourself? If you've found your way here, it's likely because you're carrying a burden that's become too heavy to bear alone. Trauma, grief, and attachment wounds are not just about the past - it shows up in your body, in the relationships that you have with yourself and others, and shapes the lens in which you view the world. Here, you'll find a safe space to untangle the complexities of your experiences so that you can focus on rebuilding the sense of control and peace you deserve.

As it is with all of nature, it is our human nature to grow. To really live entails creative movement and transformation over time, in perpetual call and response with a world that evolves in parallel. In this way, we can be impressively adaptable beings. But sometimes we forget this. We find ourselves clinging to internalized messages about who and how we should be, and the confusion, doubt, worry, and fear that follow end up stalling, blocking, or dulling our capacity to flow in connection with life. Our true nature begins to feel very far away.

Are you willing to be honest with yourself and try to trust me? If so, I'm ready to see if we are the right fit and to get to work to help you meet your goals. If you're experiencing anxiety, be it in social situations, about existential fears like the climate, or generally in various facets of your life, let's manage it together. I am also familiar with the heaviness and seeming intractability of depression and have successfully worked with clients to find a path through it. I have personal experiences with grief, and I feel honored to accompany anyone who finds themselves in the trenches of loss.

I am here to help you embrace your authenticity and find liberation from stories, patterns, habits and ways of being that don't fit who you want to be. I am passionate about working with young adults navigating adulthood and transitioning into life beyond families of origin; folks healing from racial trauma and minority stress; and couples and partners looking for better communication, security, and connection. I am especially drawn to working with LGBTQ+ adolescents and young adults embracing queerness and supporting other white, cis men to cultivate their own vulnerable, feminist masculinity and allyship.

Avoid or control: these are the two ways you’ve coped with your experiences. And you’re resilient! Your strategy has worked—at least it used to work… Now, you’re realizing you’re reacting to your trauma in ways that are no longer helpful. You’re shaming yourself, isolating, and shutting down, and you frequently find yourself back to that familiar numbness. Even if you’re able to identify these maladaptive patterns, nothing you’ve tried seems to change anything. You wonder if this is just how life is going to be, as everything continues to spiral out of control. You need to feel safe, but you don’t know how.

I am passionate about supporting folx who identify as first generation, third culture kids, are from multicultural backgrounds or have experiences of trauma. I deeply enjoy working with couples to explore how our past experiences inform challenges within our relationships and to explore how you can communicate emotions and needs to those we are in community with. I believe relational repair is an imperative aspect of our healing.

Life can be difficult to navigate. We accumulate invisible scars and wounds over time, doing our best to keep moving through heartbreak, betrayal, loss, and trauma. Continuing to persevere in the face of suffering is a universal human experience. Balancing your personal needs with the expectations of others, while essential to developing healthy relationships, can make you feel lost and without direction. You don't have to walk that path alone. Psychotherapy can help you understand your place in the world and how to be in relationships with others without losing yourself.

Are you looking for a safe space to share your feelings; to better understand your emotional self? If you are experiencing relationship problems, feel stuck or blocked, anxious or depressed, we can work together to understand these issues. Sometimes we know that things don't feel right, but can't put our finger on it. Through guided exploration, we can discover underlying causes for these feelings, and develop a more authentic connection with ourselves and with others. I work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents.
