Everybody has issues in their life and could use a helpful someone to talk to. Sometimes our struggles go beyond the help of a friend or family member. It takes courage to reach out and I do not take that lightly. Primarily using CBT (cognitive-behavioral) and CCT (client-centered) therapies I help you navigate life's challenges. I let the session happen naturally and you get to talk about whatever is on your mind. You will never have to go anywhere you are not ready to go. I am here to walk beside you in your journey.

You deserve to feel seen. Many of the people I have worked with have experienced pain or the weight of high expectations from themselves and others around them. Witnessing others experience the transformative power of their authentic selves and overcome challenges has been a privilege. I practice from a lens of radical empathy: I am honored to hold space for you as you work through things that feel heavy, cheer you on when it begins to feel easy again, and walk with you for all the moments in between.

Do you often find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, wanting to make changes, but unsure of where to start? Do you struggle with feeling alone, misunderstood, and as if you do not belong? I see you as a unique person deserving of understanding, love, and respect. I utilize a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach to help you reconnect with yourself and help you feel heard, cared for, and accepted for who you are. In our sessions, I prioritize creating an environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions as the healing begins with being truly heard and understood and learning to love yourself.

Finding a therapist can sometimes feel impossible, but finding a good fit can make all the difference. It is important to both feel heard and seen, especially during the vulnerable process of sharing you experiences and emotions.

I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma, may be struggling with PTSD, anxiety, and or depression. I also provide an affirming and queer/trans competent space to serve members of the trans and queer community.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.
