My field of expertise is working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression or relationship challenges and working with couples. I enjoy working with young adults in transition who are feeling uncertain about employment, relationships or future- a quarter-life crisis. My other areas of interest include working with individuals who have experienced trauma and coping with the difficult emotions those experiences bring. When working with couples, I work with developing positive communication and relational skills to increase closeness, effectively adjust to life's challenges, and manage stress, anxiety and depression. I also enjoy working with adolescents and families to increase closeness and improve communication skills.

My work focuses on our relationship and skills-building to relieve the symptoms that brought you into treatment in the first place while also exploring the powerful impact of early life experiences on how you view the world and yourself in the present. I believe that the relationship developed between us provides the foundation for building insight and self-awareness to help you reach your unique potential and create the life you want to live. I approach therapy as a collaborative journey that asks us to bring our expertise into the room and use it to reach your goals! While therapy can be hard work, humor is part of growth too!

Many of us have feelings and memories that are hard to sit with. Having company can make this process less frightening. I’m here to support my clients as we explore why they’re hurting, and why they’re not feeling better yet. I prefer to focus on our shared human condition instead of specific diagnoses - loneliness, pain, longing for love, pushing others away, feeling at odds with ourselves...I'm here to listen, and help each client find kindness for themself.

I believe starting therapy is showing up for yourself and investing in your well-being. Therapy is an act of self-care in which you can unpack the complexities of your thoughts and emotions to gain clarity and understanding, increase insight and self-awareness, develop ways to cope and cultivate resilience, and evolve into your more authentic self within a nonjudgmental space.

The clients I work alongside of often seek reflection and changes in their life. This can sometimes be scary, painful, intimidating and occasionally leading to leave things as they are. However in my experience, the thirst for a more fulfilling life is always present. Sometimes hiding behind a hobby or creative interest, music we listen to, places that make us feel at home or a certain moment of the year when we feel more hopeful. I deeply enjoy helping my clients find those special pieces of fulfillment together. With time and intention, these later become the foundation for healing, change, and deeper reflection.

I have over 10 years of experience working with queer and trans people, whether they are coming out, transitioning, or just in need of a place where they don't have to explain themselves. I have a special interest in working with creative people (both professional and amateur artists, writers, academics, musicians, etc.); people who have experienced religious trauma; and those navigating the waters of midlife. I have sat with many clients living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and PMDD; and with those who need an intentional and fiercely compassionate space to learn more about themselves, others, and the world.

Being a therapist is a privilege and an honor. I care deeply about your reality and experience of the world. I have a Master's degree in Counseling, focusing on psychodynamic and feminist theory. My psychodynamic training means I have experience listening in a specific way that invites us, together, to discover and make meaning out of the experiences in life. I believe that gaining insight means learning to be open to learning about ourselves curiously and compassionately. All parts of you, including the ones deemed shameful or bad, are accepted into this space.

During these moments we may be seeking comfort, a new perspective, or a desire to be truly seen and understood. As your therapist, l will strive to understand your unique experiences - who you are based on what you have lived through, your view of self, and how you have been impacted by culture, society, and those around you.
