If you want to improve your current life situations like relationships that are dissatisfying or personal goals that are not getting fulfilled, counseling can help. I am an experienced counselor who can help you better assess your situations and come up with concrete plans of actions to make changes towards your goals. Sometimes I coach you in developing new skills like more effective communication of your wants and needs, and sometimes I support you in working out unresolved issues and emotions from the past that are getting in the way of living and relating more fully in the present.

ADULTS My approach is integrative - I incorporate multiple therapeutic frameworks to understand and to support my clients. I use client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness interventions while holding in mind the "systems" that you are a part of (your environment, relationships). I’m interested in how the past has shaped who you are. I want to help you use insight from your life experiences to guide you forward. I believe every person is the expert on their own experience and capable of tremendous healing and growth. I would love to talk to you about the possibility of working together to see if I would be a good fit.

Something isn't quite right lately! Things feel off and it's time for a change. Whether it's creatively rebooting, overcoming imposter syndrome, feeling more resilient, or navigating a new transition there's a way to change the patterns that aren't working anymore. When stress hits or we feel stuck we tend to revisit coping that doesn't serve us well. We may feel motivated to change, but lost as to the next steps. I work collaboratively with clients who are curious about their struggles and eager to collaboratively problem solve. We work together to uncover the patterns that aren't working anymore and explore solutions.

Having a transgender or gender nonbinary child is a wonderful gift, but it comes with a unique journey for both child and parent. Support is not only essential, but a gem of the journey! Possibly your child has expressed feeling that they are another gender and you are unsure about what to do next. Maybe your child is already living as their authentic gender, but they are showing signs of insecurity or distress around their body. Or possibly, puberty is approaching, and your child’s doctor has recommended therapy as they prepare for puberty suppression. I seek to provide guidance and support through stretches such as these.

My approach is psychodynamic to help clients gain insight into their issues and concerns. I collaborate with clients to help recognize unhelpful thought, emotional and behaviors patterns and defense mechanisms and develop healthier ways to cope. I will provide a safe space for you to share your story, concerns, issues, hopes and dreams. I will meet you where you are and help you identify what you want to address. Then, I will collaborate with you to set concrete, measurable goals and action plans that you can track as you move toward your goals.

Psychotherapy is a pathway to understanding, insight and change. In my work, I focus on helping my patients to develop a greater ability to reflect on oneself, that is, "connect the dots", and a greater ability to feel and to act in the world. I believe that an understanding of a persons's relationships with others, both historically and currently, is central to the process of change. I strive to develop this understanding collaboratively in an atmosphere of openness, safety, honesty and curiosity.

I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Intersectionality is the energy and the lens I bring to a space. I assist folks with managing issues including perfectionism, imposter syndrome, codependency, people-pleasing, intergenerational trauma, intimate partner violence, and attachment. I have a passion for working with the neurodivergent community (specifically autism and ADHD) in learning to unmask and find the beauty in their existence. I love challenging folks to reframe negative thinking patterns and to start identifying their strengths over their burdens. My goal is to help you live unapologetically yourself.

You may have found yourself here because you are feeling overwhelmed by your world, internally or externally. I will help you find some peace. Therapy is a way to intentionally find out who you are, in a world that is constantly trying to define us by what we should be. I value a client/therapist relationship that is dynamic, where we work collaboratively to create therapy that is right for you. I provide a meaningful space for you to explore what challenges are present in your life. As you share, you will be met with compassion, curiosity, and acceptance as you work towards a greater sense of ease in your life and relationships.

I firmly believe that the journey toward healing and personal growth begins with compassion, understanding, and acknowledgment. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where the uncharted aspects of yourself, often hidden in the shadows, can be explored and brought into the light for healing and reintegration. My therapeutic expertise is centered around supporting individuals who are grappling with eating disorders, anxiety, and the lasting effects of trauma. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore these challenges.

You don't like your current state. You don't like your mood swings, you don't like your insecurity, you don't like that you feel stuck both physically and emotionally now in this pandemic. The world is changing so rapidly and everything is different. You know you're not the only one who's struggling and you want to be more positive, yet it still feels like you're the only one who’s out of place, left behind, and failing. You want to stop feeling this way, you want to change.

Therapy provides an opportunity to become aware of what may and what may not be working in your life. Oftentimes we perceive and respond to the world around us in ways that have become habitual or familiar but may no longer be helpful, which can lead to feelings of sadness, anxiety, guilt, or alienation.
