“I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.” Those words, from a song by Nina Simone, could resonate with many of us who know how frustrating and even alienating it can feel to be misunderstood. Sometimes, we even struggle to understand ourselves. Why am I feeling this way? Why do I do this? Why can’t I just snap out of it? We often have more questions than we have answers.

Therapy can be a slow and, at times, uncomfortable process, but it can also be extremely rewarding. While I work with people with all backgrounds, I am particularly interested in working with clients who are experiencing life changes, learning to understand and embrace their identity, perfectionism, and those struggling with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Creating an authentic relationship of mutual trust and respect is crucial to me in my work. I look to support clients in developing tools to navigate life and unpack life experiences.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, but I am often thought of as the friend who will listen. My clients experience me as compassionate and willing to give active feedback, which, when combined, creates a safe space and therapeutic environment. I strive to take the time to authentically engage with my clients to understand what they are experiencing from their perspective.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process and invite feedback at all stages of our work. I bring to therapy my previous experiences working in creative environments, to help clients foster new perspectives and solutions that fit your unique struggles, identities, and personality. My clients have come from diverse backgrounds and many have experienced abuse, loss, and/or marginalization. Therapy can offer some immediate relief from stress, depression, and anxiety, but I also work with clients to make lasting changes in the way you see and relate to yourself and others. I work with university students, couples, and adults.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, holistic, non-judgmental and tailored to each client. I work with clients to build awareness of the patterns and behaviors that may be hindering their growth. I use humanistic and relational approaches to connect with clients to help them find their unique purpose and motivation in life. My goal in treatment is to help individuals cope with and process life’s challenges, losses and transitions. Change is inevitable throughout life, and I believe that once accepted, positive growth can occur.

I work with clients who feel unhappy or stuck in their relationships, their careers, and even life in general to find ways of living that are more honest, authentic, and satisfying. I offer a non-judgmental and collaborative environment where our conversations will help you to recognize how to find meaning, wonder, and joy in your life. An exploration of each person’s unique moods, pleasures, distresses, and challenges can lead to novel and transformative experiences.

Our emotional world can at times leave us feeling completely out of control. Whether our emotions feel incredibly intense and unmanageable or numb and out of reach. I know what it's like to feel broken, alone, and disconnected from yourself. I believe that everyone has an inner wisdom they can tap into that can guide them towards self trust and healing. I am passionate about collaborating with my clients to discover that deep inner wisdom and become experts on themselves to gain clarity and peace for the mind and body.

Therapy transformed my life when I was referred to a counselor years ago as a teen. Since then, I have wanted to provide this type of support and to serve as a guide for others through difficult times in life. I aspire to help my clients tap into their own inner strengths, so they can ultimately live more freely, fully and authentically. I take a client-centered approach, and help my clients identify their own goals for themselves.

Do you find it so difficult to focus that it interferes with your work, school, or relationships? Do you become easily distracted and have difficulties being productive? Is it hard to remain organized despite your best efforts? Inattention, impulsivity, and overactivity are three common problems associated with ADHD, which affects about 5% of people. It is much more serious than just having trouble concentrating. ADHD creates significant difficulties, presents barriers to success at work or school, and strains relationships between people with ADHD and those who care about them.

I work with a range of individuals including adults, teens, and children. I have worked with clients with challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, low self-esteem, and gender dysphoria. I am passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community, folks with diagnosed or self-identified Autism/ADHD, and those navigating pregnancy/postpartum. Therapy with me is an affirming space for those in the kink and poly communities. I enjoy working with individuals who wish to deepen their understanding of their identity, are undergoing a life transition, or who want to understand how their past informs their present.

When we are feeling isolated and disconnected, therapy can be a safe platform for building self-awareness and work towards growth and healing. I utilize the therapeutic relationship itself as the primary vessel for healing and to undo the aloneness that comes from life’s adversities. We will explore your emotional patterns, intersectional identities, personality, and unique quirks and use them to build awareness, acceptance, and love for your truest and most authentic self. I’m a radically silly, queer/nb, sentimental, and curious artist, musician, and therapist.

The start of therapy is often a painful or stressful time. I will work with you to improve your current life and increase your future resilience. I believe the foundation of this work is often the experience of being truly heard. There are stories behind the things we do and the feelings we have. We usually know parts of these stories, but therapy helps us to know more. As we come to know more, we gain more control, and it becomes easier to meet life’s challenges. Additionally, we become better at seeing people and situations for what they really are, which helps us to avoid ruts at work and in our relationships.

In therapy, my approach is nondirective, genuine, warm, and empathic. I am nonjudgmental, accepting, and understanding. I follow my clients as they focus on whatever feels most important to them. My goal is to build a safe therapeutic relationship for clients to explore the depths of their most significant and often challenging life experiences. I listen and respond with empathic understanding of these experiences while my clients find meaning that is congruent with their whole self. Clients often feel deeply understood during this process, which is a profoundly healing experience.

I specialize in supporting people who have experienced trauma, whether this be a single event, or repeated or chronic experiences throughout their childhood or life. I also work with people who having difficulties managing their mood (e.g. experiencing depression or anxiety) and understanding the role of experiences in shaping their sense of self and identity. I can work with people to process hard life experiences, creating a space to be heard or challenged, but also to develop practical skills to better cope with their difficulties (e.g. improving motivation, managing anxiety, reducing "unhelpful coping" such as substance misuse).
