Years of working with writers, artists and musicians attuned me to issues related to the creative process and to the search for existential meaning and relational connection.

To be human can mean that joy and pain, love and despair, connection and loneliness, energy and apathy, all occur within the same internal space. When that space becomes overwhelmed with pain, shame, or fear, we can feel as though we’re running on fumes - burned-out, disconnected, feeling stuck or paralyzed. Thoughts and emotions affect the way we move through life; and consciously or not, past emotional and relational wounds affect how we approach the present and future. Therapy can be a powerful aid in healing wounds and nurturing joy, connection, meaning, and new ways of being.

Using a relational and mindfulness-informed approach, I will meet you where you are at in navigating through difficult emotions, hard decisions, familial challenges, and life’s uncertainties.
Therapy is an opportunity for us to uncover a deeper understanding of ourselves so we can begin to find more ease and fulfillment in our day to day. It is about embracing that oftentimes there’s nothing to “fix”, and instead our task is to slow down, notice and then exercise self-compassion. I work with clients who are seeking a safe space to process in their own time recent and past trauma, challenging family and relationship dynamics, as well as clients who are exploring gender and sexual identity. I enjoy working with clients who this might be there first time seeking support from a therapist.

My approach is warm, authentic, collaborative and relational.
I’m passionate about helping women transform their lives. Supporting them on their path to growth and healing. Being a woman in today’s modern world is hard. There’s pressure to have a healthy relationship, successful career, to be a good parent, and to be physically and emotionally healthy. High expectations of us take a toll on our minds and our bodies. Many women I work with talk about losing themselves and feeling frustratingly stuck. You want to feel grounded and confident. You need time to look inward and heal. You’re ready to develop a pathway forward, one where you feel hopeful and in control. You're in the right place.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ folks dealing with complex relational trauma from childhood and beyond.
Whether you're exploring gender or sexual identity for the first time, or have been out for 20 years, having a therapist that can relate to your experiences is vital. You may feel as though you didn't get the handbook of "how to human," or believe that there must be a secret ingredient that you've somehow been missing in order to feel better. It can be frustrating to feel as though you've tried everything just to be heard. If you've been taught to mask or hide your true self in order to survive in a world that constantly tells you that you shouldn't exist, it can be transformative to be seen and held as you are.

Sometimes we find it hard to understand what is going on inside our heart and head. Perhaps we have a vague idea but we can't find the words to adequately express what we are feeling. Therapy offers us the opportunity to put language to our experience and increase our self awareness. Personal and relational transformation depend on that self awareness. I strive to create a safe place for you to journey inward without judgment; so that you may feel respected, secure and understood. To be invited into the depths of another person's soul is always a privilege. It is an honor for me to take this journey with you.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and trauma-informed.
Maybe you're struggling with anxiety, grief, or stress. Familial patterns or difficult relationships have you grasping for how to set and hold boundaries. You're an artist but are struggling with your chosen industry or considering a career change. You call yourself a "perfectionist" or "people-pleaser" and want to learn how to build self-compassion, let go, or increase your sense of agency. You're a couple wanting a change in your dynamic or looking to grow your communication skills. Regardless of what's bringing you to therapy, I commend you for showing up for yourself by taking this step.

I believe everyone's feelings, personal history, strengths, and struggles are unique. At the same time, we are all a part of the connected, human story. But sometimes we can feel alone in our suffering, or even when we try and achieve positive goals. I work with adults, couples, and families by using my diverse training in a way that fits their particular styles and needs. Through relational connection, collaborating on concrete coping skills, and exploration of current and past patterns, I have seen tremendous healing in my partnership with clients.
