For over a decade, I've supported various clients from different backgrounds and communities. I've firsthand experience with the foster care system and am a member of the LGBTQ+ community. I'm also a giant nerd and love many of the quirky and weird things many people on the fringe of culture hold close to their hearts. I bring a lot of humor into my sessions because sometimes you need to be able to laugh at the dark to take the sting away. I love to work with clients with similar backgrounds or anyone who can look at the brighter side or at least the irony of life in this odd little world.

Are you especially hard on yourself, finding it difficult to prioritize your own needs? Or perhaps you are striving to express your voice and find a deeper sense of confidence and belonging. If you find yourself feeling unmotivated, directionless, or unclear about your purpose, it would be my honor to hold space for you. I also have a particular knack with helping adolescents who are acting out or struggling with school, relationships, or mental health.

Are you currently overwhelmed with all that you have to do? Does it feel like things are getting worse every day? We are living in incredibly anxious and unprecedented times where we are being asked to do the impossible. During the most challenging of times, we all need some extra support and help. Often times when we are stressed with day to day life, old traumas and stressors can resurface. I work side by side with you in a collaborative way to help you learn new ways to regulate your emotions so you can become unstuck and refocus and move toward your goals.

I'm passionate about working with queer, neurodivergent folks who have experienced trauma. I also enjoy working with folks who identify as part of the “still COVIDing” community. I offer support around exploring gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and coming out. I also enjoy supporting folks in developing secure attachment and healing past attachment wounds. A lot of the folks I work with are experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, and stress. They are seeking a better understanding of themselves and some relief. I support them in bettering their relationships with themselves and others.

You may be navigating identity issues, feeling stuck in one or more areas of your life, wanting to experience more connection in relationships, or seeking a time and space that is totally separate from the other parts of your life—where you can pause, think, and feel in the privacy of a therapy relationship. I'll attempt to engage you in a co-created process of inquiry about your subjective experience (what you are feeling and thinking). I approach psychotherapy collaboratively, meaning, we will do this together.

You're not alone in feeling the lasting impacts of stress, abuse, and neglect. Such hardships can often manifest in our lives as depression, anxiety, anger, or low self-esteem. Through therapy, we'll embark on a journey to navigate these difficult emotions, build your confidence, and help you express yourself authentically. If low motivation, worry, or stress has been weighing you down, consider therapy not merely as a solution but as a catalyst for growth.

If you’re here, I imagine you may have found yourself exhausted, stuck, and suffering despite your best efforts. Maybe you're so chronically overwhelmed from trying to balance the demands of life that you find yourself unable to enjoy any moments of rest or recharge. Or you feel that despite how far you've come in achieving your goals you're never doing enough, and you're losing sight of why those goals matter in the first place. Maybe you silently struggle with a deep-seated fear that you're one misstep away from proving yourself an imposter and losing all that you've worked towards. Do you worry you'll never stop feeling this way?

Are you here because you're having a "dark night of the soul" and feeling hopeless? Or do you want to change a relationship pattern that keeps repeating no matter how much you try? Perhaps you want to transform your low self-esteem and FINALLY believe in yourself...You know that something has to change, but what and how? You have most likely thought yourself in circles around the problem, but you cannot think your way out of this one. Does all that thinking send you spiraling out and anxious, your inner-critic having a field day?

Everyone is unique. Your thoughts, feelings and needs are shaped by your own background, family history, past interpersonal encounters and other significant events, including early child trauma. Psychotherapy is an emotional process. As we discuss your concerns, it will surface unexamined parts of your life of which you may not be aware or want to experience. My central role as your therapist is to help you talk about and understand more fully these unexamined thoughts, feelings, and needs in the context of your past, develop greater understanding, tolerance and acceptance, and to bring changes to your current situation.

Have you ever been told you're "dramatic," "too sensitive," or "too much?" I love working with folks who think and feel deeply. If you grew up with invalidating or abusive caregivers, it might be challenging now to know how to regulate your emotions. But emotional depth and sensitivity is also a great gift. You may be seeking therapy because your emotions are "out of control," your relationships are causing you anxiety, or you want to do a deep dive into your past traumas.
