Your lived experience is a complex web of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that shape how you see yourself and relate to the world. When that web gets tangled and the usual fixes don’t help, things can begin to pile up and leave you feeling confused, lonely, and overwhelmed. I believe therapy should be an affirming space to explore the depths of your experience and discover the keys that unlock stability and self-actualization, on your terms.

Extensive research shows the client-therapist relationship is the most essential part of therapy. I encourage you to find the right fit. Topics I have helped clients successfully work through: complex trauma, helping change attachment styles, boundary identification & implementation, infidelity, dysfunctional communication, repetitive arguments on the same topic, kinks or differences in sexual interests (ex. BDSM, non-monogamy, cuckolding, etc.), and severe anxiety/depression. I help clients dig deeper than average talk therapy sessions - reaching core emotional wounds that often drive behavior.

Can I walk with you on this journey? I am here to help you navigate choices and values that are meaningful in your life. I firmly believe that personal growth results from flexibility, insight, action, and encouragement. I offer clients an open, safe space where they feel understood and validated while giving them the guidance they need to experience a higher level of consciousness, belonging, and control. I empower clients to find their voice and feel they can re-direct their focus and efforts into meeting goals that positively affect their well-being.

I aspire to listen, understand, and guide each person I treat through the problems that are getting in the way of feeling more happy and fulfilled. Oftentimes, painful emotions or difficult relationships are the catalyst for someone to begin therapy. I work with each patient to alleviate the pain they are experiencing on a day-to-day basis while we ascertain the underlying emotional issues that may contribute to destructive patterns. This two-pronged approach is helpful in order to cope effectively with similar problems as they arise in the future.

Hello there! I would love to hear from you about what's going on, and I think I can help. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor specializing in child, adolescent, adult, family, and couples psychotherapy. I provide treatment for psychological and emotional issues using an integrative Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) approach combined with a psychodynamic perspective. During crisis, it is important for my clients to have the skills to gracefully endure their suffering (the DBT component)--all the while keeping in mind the harder to see big picture where deeper issues occur at an unconscious level (the psychodynamic component).

Accepting NEW clients! I have had the privilege of working with early to mid-adults of various backgrounds and identities. I am passionate about supporting my clients facing loss, identity development, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Sometimes life catapults us into a new chapter, a new milestone, a new relationship status - filled with both challenge and promise - that we may not have asked for or are finding ourselves struggling with. Together in therapy, I collaborate with my clients to find meaning, awareness, and growth through experiencing the present and deliberately reflecting on patterns of the past.

I use a strengths focused approach to therapy. Moving forward requires a look at what a person is already doing well in addition to the challenges in their lives. My approach includes insight oriented and cognitive techniques which I utilize in my practice.
It takes a very strong person to admit they need help and to take the steps necessary to find a therapist who will be the best fit possible. In my view, therapy is teamwork and the therapist and client must work collaboratively for the best possible outcome of their therapy experience.

I hope to be your ally, standing firmly with you and prioritizing your benefits.
