You know that unshakable feeling of "it’s going to be alright" that sinks deep into your cells? Perhaps you’ve had it on vacation, or a moment with a loved one? That inner ease can be your baseline, instead of a fleeting moment. You don’t have to numb out or push through it all. It starts with learning how to regulate your energy, and evolves into a practice of finding your flow.

My passion as a therapist is to help people feel less misunderstood and more empowered, less stifled and more fully themselves. I use a mindfulness-focused, strengths-based approach to help people get to the root of their problems and untangle subconscious conditioning that no longer serves them. Healing is an ongoing journey of becoming conscious of the parts of ourselves we often resist meeting. Together we will dive deep to address the symptoms and patterns that arose as coping mechanisms formed in early childhood development that may be preventing you from experiencing life to your fullest potential.

I understand how sad and scary it can feel when you're struggling in a relationship. I help LGBTQ and CNM people heal issues with relationships, sexuality, and negative life patterns. Together we’ll make a plan to move forward improving your relationships, which involves a combination of learning to feel and understand your emotions, and using mindfulness to help you soothe yourself if the emotions get too big to manage in the moment. For CNM people, we’ll talk a lot about what these relationships can be like and figure out what does and doesn’t work for you. We’ll work as a team!

Navigating life's circumstances and challenges can take up a lot of space in our lives. Maybe you are looking for more spaciousness, more time for yourself, or an extra ear to listen to and fully "get" you. Or perhaps anxiety or depression has become a constant presence, and you desire a change and want more connection. Sharing our experiences with others provides an opportunity to feel understood. In a therapeutic relationship, we explore patterns and coping strategies to better form a picture of how we operate in the world. It can help us identify what is and isn't working towards getting your needs met more fully.
