Psychotherapy can help you make sense of complicated feelings, gain insight into relational patterns, and begin to move forward in areas of your life where you feel stuck. My focus is to help you untangle struggles, set meaningful goals, revise problematic narratives about yourself, and re-orient you toward your values. My integrative approach is informed by psychodynamic, feminist, multicultural, relational, and behaviorist theories. Above all, I value the therapeutic relationship and your personal growth. I offer therapy, assessment, and gender affirming evaluation services in person and remotely.

Are you almost ready to give up the possibility that life could be better, that life does not have to be full of internal struggle? Do you want your self-talk to be one that lifts you up and focuses on savoring the positives in your life rather than tearing you down, focusing on the disappointments in your life? Would you want sadness, worries, or anger to not have undue influence on you and not control your life. If yes, it is time to make a choice and reach out to someone who can guide and support you to a better experience of life and a more preferred self.

If you're looking for a therapist, there's a good chance you feel like "something" in your life isn't working -- perhaps within yourself, a relationship, or your career. Sometimes it's hard to know what that "something" is, and, other times, the feeling may be directly connected to a specific event, relationship, or personality trait. As your therapist, I will work with you at a pace that feels manageable, and together we will reflect on what feels like it's not working and identify possibilities that may bring relief or change.
