Having someone to walk alongside you in your journey to psychological/emotional health can move you from surviving into thriving. Navigating life can be stressful, overwhelming, and at times painful. Dealing with difficulties like life transitions, stress, managing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or making seemingly impossibly difficult decisions, all the while trying to maintaining positive self-esteem and finding helpful ways to cope with life demands, is a really hard thing to do. Feeling close to the people we love can feel hard when we struggle to find the ability to be vulnerable in a tough world.

I believe every person can overcome the things that block them from leading a rich and fulfilling life.  I know that every person deserves and can achieve radical healing, and that it shouldn't take a lifetime to get there.  If you are ready to get to the root of your issues rather than just treat symptoms, you have come to the right place.  I use deep listening, EMDR, IFS/parts work, and other somatic modalities to help my clients achieve profound and lasting change.  I expect that you will see significant progress in the time we are working together, and if you don't, I will help you find someone who can offer that to you.

You are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You're going through your day with the constant fear of not being a good enough mom, partner, employee. You feel lost and overwhelmed as you fight to present yourself as someone who has it "all together." Your friends and family don't know how alone you feel because you don't want to be a burden to them. The ghosts of your past torment you, reminding you constantly that if you had been good enough to begin with then you wouldn't have been hurt so badly. It's all your fault, your mind is racing, and you don't know how to make it stop.

There are many reasons why you might be seeking therapy at this very moment. It could be because of a major life event- a death, a cancer diagnosis, the end of a relationship, or trauma. It could be because of a lot of small things that have accumulated over time. It could be preventative or restorative. Or it could be just because. You might be therapy-curious, or wonder if you even need therapy. Whatever has brought you to this point, I believe that the most important part of a therapeutic relationship is connection. Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and see whether we both feel like it’s the right fit.

Whether you’ve experienced childhood abuse or neglect, family conflict, parental addiction, high-control religious communities, or sexual trauma, these experiences can profoundly shape how you see yourself and connect with others. It’s common for this to show up as ADHD, anxiety, codependency, depression, anger, grief, low self-esteem, numbness, or shame, impacting both your well-being and relationships. As a sex-positive queer therapist, I support LGBTQ+ souls and women carrying the weight of past trauma and toxic stress. While trauma often begins in relationships, healing can happen there, too—with care, compassion, and support.

Do you feel stuck in the past? Have you tried everything else to find the healing you desperately desire but haven't gotten the results you need? Clients reach out to me many of them at a point close to giving up and thinking their brain, situation or circumstance will never change. It doesn't have to be this way. I incorporate many different techniques and tools to help get my clients on the path to healing and wholeness. Talk therapy just doesn't work. I do not offer talk therapy. Instead I customize a plan with my client, meeting them where they are, based on their individual needs.
