Life can bring great challenges, and also incredible joys. Sometimes the challenges can feel overwhelming. In difficult times, it's critical to create a solid emotional foundation to allow you identify your path. My goal as a clinician is to restore balance when you are struggling with tough emotions, or a difficult situation. I believe that as with physical pain, emotional pain is a clear message that something in your life needs attending to. By taking time to reflect and heal, you can regain a sense of clarity, purpose and peace.

A certain level of disillusionment exists when your external world doesn't match your internal one. Restless and intrusive thoughts may be hindering your everyday joys or harsh flashbacks affecting your presence and sense of safety. A certain level of growth is wanted, but the pathway how to get there may seem unclear or too difficult. I can help by building upon your already-existing skills and resilience to decrease your shame-narrative with a healthier mental paradigm. I incorporate somatic and experiential techniques into sessions to aid in addressing and processing chronic and pervasive trauma.

Do you struggle to know how you're feeling, or what to do with it? Is it challenging to communicate your emotions with others? Whether you feel anxious, hurt, scared, tired, depressed, lonely, or just confused, I want to help. I work with individuals, partners, kids, adolescents, and families of all configurations to heal and grow. As a queer non-monogamous person, I take an expansive view of love and family that is LGBTQ+ inclusive, sex-positive, and antiracist.

It just happened again. A coworker said something that rubbed you slightly the wrong way, and you exploded at them. Now you’re feeling ashamed and confused – “Why does this keep happening to me?” Your fuse has been so short lately. Every task feels daunting, and you’re constantly overwhelmed. If it’s not work, it’s the kids, your partner, or friends – someone ALWAYS needs something from you. Of course, you need things too, but there’s no time for that. So you ignore what you want and keep pushing through. But it’s taking a toll. You’re unsure how much longer you can go on like this. You want to make a change but don’t know how.

When life feels like a knotted ball of yarn, sometimes we need help finding a thread to grab. As a therapist, I support my clients in finding that thread. I work with clients and couples who are experiencing work challenges, disability, life transitions, OCD, anxiety and depression. Couples often will come to me when they are feeling afraid and lonely in their relationships, like they are walking on eggshells. As your couples’ therapist I will work in supporting you to share with each other vulnerably and fully.

I provide relational, psychodynamic, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, and culturally-responsive therapy to adults of all ages.

As a trauma-informed yoga instructor, I believe that there is a critical connection between the mind and body and assist in the process of helping the two work together in synchronicity toward healing.

Our lives are often defined by systems and structures that were designed to be predictable and one-size-fits-all. You may be starting to recognize that these patterns don’t fit, or worse yet, tell you there’s something wrong with you, or someone you care about. Your mind (or theirs) may work differently than others, or your life may have taken an unexpected turn, leaving you unsure of what comes next.

Going to therapy is like taking a trip. You bring your baggage filled with memories, patterns built up over the years, and all the good things about you, and set off on your journey. You may feel excited, apprehensive, or unsure if you want a change - but you breathe in and take the next step anyway. You find a tour guide to help unpack your bags, figure out what's useful, and chart your path to get to where you're going.

I am a queer-identified, kink-affirming therapist who partners with individuals to navigate a world that is often rooted in arbitrary and limiting rules. I am especially passionate about the self-actualization of folks in their sexuality, gender, neurodiversity, and relationships of any configuration. I believe that everyone deserves a space to reflect creatively on what makes their life sustainable and authentic.
