I work with couples, groups, and individuals. Do you isolate, feel misunderstood, or have difficult connecting to others? Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try - you can't catch a break? Have you been told you are "too sensitive" or "too intense"? Do you want to hide parts of yourself? Do you want to build more connection in your relationships? Do you find you and your partner continuing to argue about the same things? You are not alone. Often times our old wounds and experiences get in the way of living.

As non-binary and trans folx we often find ourselves wondering "where do I belong in this world?" and "why can't I just be myself?" It seems like we've tried everything but we dont feel like we belong or we are in a safe place to live & work. We often wonder when its going to get better? When can I just live my life fully how I am? Sometimes we feel sad and it can be a very lonely place. We can even forget just how special and unique we are because we are so different and surrounded by those who just don't get it. We really want someone who can connect to us &make our experiences feel validated, reminding us that we are beautiful.

As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I understand how anxiety and low self esteem can be unrelenting companions, whispering worst-case scenarios and drowning out the voice of reason. The knots in your stomach, the racing heart, the feeling of impending doom. The weight of sadness can be suffocating, draining your energy and leaving you in a constant state of emotional numbness. Through our sessions, I will help you uncover the roots of your anxiety and sadness, providing you with coping strategies to manage their grip on your life. I want you to know that there is hope beyond this darkness and we will find it together.

Clients I see are often experiencing feelings that are disrupting their lives. You may be one of the many people who has a hard time acknowledging, asking for & accepting assistance. Therapy can help with many problems life presents such as relationship difficulties with partners, family & friends; death of a loved one; job loss; caring for someone ill; assault; rape; witnessing a crime, & other life issues. Others come to gain insight into how to make their lives better, more productive & happier. For over 20 years I have helped people "get out of their own way" and see how they unknowingly sabotage themselves & relationships.

Unlike psychiatry where medication is prescribed to prevent your feelings from being experienced, my practice is designed to make sense and make use of the sensations we are receiving from ourselves. Professionally bringing our attention to psychological symptoms puts us in direct contact with the core of our conflict(s) and sets forth a personal resolution.

I view the therapeutic relationship as the most significant aspect of productive therapy and vital to the healing process. As your therapist I will respect your unique gifts and challenges and will strive to honor who you are. We all share in the same basic needs, but how we prioritize the many areas of our lives (familial, work related, spiritual etc.) is determined by our unique histories. I will honor your uniqueness in our work together, which ideally becomes a collaborative process.
