Are you full of racing thoughts and can't figure out why or how to stop them? Are you looking for a therapist who you can discuss your D&D character with? Maybe you're tired from reviewing every mistake you've ever made and struggle to communicate how you feel to friends and family. I value creating a space where we will explore who the villain of your story is, whether it be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or something else. While I enjoy working with everyone, as a queer and GNC therapist, I specialize in working with queer/trans teens & adults. I appreciate creating a comfortable & geeky space where you can show up as yourself.

From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together, but inside, it feels like a completely different story. You might be rushing from one thing to another, trying to be everything for everyone. At work, you find yourself stuck in the never-ending quest for perfection. In relationships, you try so hard only to uncover that familiar, nagging, and sad thought: 'Am I doing enough? Am I enough?' Not to mention the political roller coaster overwhelming you in addition to the turbulent economy. To cope, you may find yourself reeling or swiping on dating apps—because it'll be different this time, right?

Welcome. Many of my clients have experienced pain, disconnection, inconsistent routines, a low sense of self, or live with complicated big/deep feelings. They struggle with perfectionism. They have a hard time letting others in. They had unsafe, harmful, or invalidating experiences. It has stayed with them. They struggle to connect to their emotional world. Some tend to overextend themselves, ignore their needs, and feel wrong for putting themselves first. Some learned to tough things out, suppress, and hold it all in. Some feel lost and in the dark. They wonder how to process, understand, and heal, and have deeper connections.
