Hey there! Congratulations on taking the first step to finding a therapist. It tends to be the hardest - acknowledging that things aren't going so well requires honesty, self-awareness, and humility. Or an "admittance of failure" as some might describe it. At least that's what it feels like. I assure you that you didn't fail and you're not a failure, no matter how strong those feelings might be. It's the system that's flawed; it drowns us in unrealistic expectations and superficial comparisons, causing us to feel overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, lonely, and unfulfilled.

I help folx identify and understand challenges related to self, sexual and gender identity, food, and pregnancy and motherhood, just as I hold space for those suffering from chronic mood and anxiety disorders. I think of health holistically and aim to integrate mind, body, and spirit by incorporating mindfulness and meditation.
Under your guidance and my expertise, we embark on your journey to self-discovery. Along the way, you'll learn to decipher your needs and develop skills that empower you to change the narrative of your life story. You'll use pragmatic strategies, concrete behaviors, as well as symbolic and spiritual rituals and somatic experiences.
