Life is challenging. There is not a "one size fits all" manual to guide us through all the storms that can occur. These storms can leave us feeling helpless, alone, angry, overwhelmed, upset, anxious, depressed and so many other things. We have all had events that have greatly impacted and continue to affect us. Therapy is a place to explore, understand and resolve issues or concerns. Working collaboratively in therapy can help achieve your goals. Therapy is an effective way to address mental health concerns, understand yourself, improve relationships and identify barriers in accomplishing goals.

You deserve to feel seen, heard, and accepted as you are - right now. From there, we can reflect on: what would you like your life to look like 3 months from now, 6 months from now, or in a year? I truly consider it a privilege to walk alongside you as you share your story, uncover and rediscover your strengths, and take steps toward the life you most want. I am not here to fix you, because you are not broken; you are becoming.

Reach out by email for fastest contact. The most powerful predictor of whether therapy will be effective is your relationship with your therapist. Finding the right one can feel overwhelming but you are already on your way. My approach is warm, empathetic and straightforward. I am accepting and direct in nature while focusing on strengths and growth. I do not "beat around the bush" as they say, while also being understanding and kind. I know how important it is to find the right "fit" with a therapist so I offer free 30 minute intro sessions so you can determine if I am the right therapist for you.

Feeling sad or down? Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Irritated? Life is hard. Plain and simple. Situations and circumstances so often drive us in a direction we weren't prepared. So many of us have a hard time figuring out what to do in these moments. I have worked with college students, individuals in difficult relationships, medical workers, educators, mothers, teen girls, pregnant women, LGBTQ+ persons and so many others who find themselves in a place that feels confusing or dark. Negative mental health can come in forms that we didn't know existed - until we are there. Clients I work with just need to talk to an unbiased ear.

Do you find yourself staring at the mirror comparing yourself to others, questioning the decisions you’re making, and experiencing fearful thinking about how to make change or the idea of change itself? Your world is full of chaos that whirls more out of control each day and the more you try to hold on the more difficult it seems to keep your grip. Like your body isn’t able to support you or keep up with you- creating fear, anxiety, and other feelings you can’t even begin to describe. Like the mirror in front of you is cracking in a million directions and you don’t know how to fix the image of the person standing in front of you.

While I am on a waitlist for new clients, I have immediate openings for gender affirming care letters. I can offer this service free of charge for those who can't afford it. Poet Anne Sexton wrote, "That the worst of anyone Can be, finally, An accident of hope." If you're here, you probably feel at your worst. Maybe a traumatic event has left you feeling broken and lost. Perhaps what you've been doing to cope just isn't working anymore, or is doing more harm than good. Whatever your reasons, I'm glad you're thinking about therapy. This process can be scary and takes hard work, and I welcome anyone courageous enough to seek out hope.

I promise you there is something worse out there than being sad and that is being alone and being sad. Ain't nobody in this room alone. -Ted Lasso. We are born with all the emotions, but no idea how to manage those emotions. We learn ways to deal with them through life experiences; some helpful ways, some hurtful ways. With every new life experience comes bigger, more complex emotions; pretty soon we feel anxious, overwhelmed, or out of control. Then what the heck do we do? Through our therapeutic relationship, we can work to explore and integrate emotions, and help you to live the life you want to live.
