As a clinical pastoral therapist, I am listening for themes and patterns - psychodynamic and spiritual - in your struggle. I sit with gifted individuals and couples to help them experience relief from the loneliness and destructive behaviors that arise from trauma and addiction. I work with survivors of many forms of abuse, moving with them when there seems no way out, to find a way through. We can discover freedom from anxiety, fear, anger, and self-hatred and release into grounded ways of living. I help people stop running from their pain and shame and start walking in peace to make consistent and conscious positive choices.

Hello! I'm a queer clinical psychologist who specializes in working with the LGBTQ+ community and treating Eating disorders, OCD, Anxiety Disorders, and Mind-body and Health psychology-related concerns. Given that our identities shape all of our life experiences, I strive to understand clients’ cultural backgrounds and integrate this into the therapeutic process. If you are struggling with navigating minority stress, gender and/or sexual identity development, anxiety, disordered eating, negative body image, or OCD and your mental health is not where you want it to be, you are not alone and I am here to help.

Anxiety and worry have become overwhelming, while depression drains the energy and joy from your days. It feels like you’re caught in a relentless storm where every attempt to escape just pulls you deeper. “Is this really all there is?” It’s exhausting trying to keep up appearances, especially when no one seems to understand your struggle. Relationships suffer, and emotions become uncontrollable—anger and tears take over, sleep is restless, and negativity feels relentless and all- consuming. Nothing you’ve tried has helped and nothing is working out. It’s frightening, leaving you feeling helpless and alone.

I believe all people deserve to experience unconditional positive regard; the acceptance of who you are regardless of what you say or do. You are unique, and I like to embrace that uniqueness and show you how to use it as your own personal superpower. Although we cannot avoid loss, pain, disappointment, and trauma, I find that when people connect with others they are inherently strengthened. There is power in telling your story in safe spaces.

Healing is a messy process-- it takes courage and grit, it requires internal resources and consistent support, it forces us to go backward before we can even think of moving forward in ways that would make us feel proud. Despite the difficulty, you know that what you need is not a band-aid. You need something more thorough. Something that will help you to not only deal with the pain of the things that have already happened, the things that have been done to you and the shame around choices you may have made, but you need to know that in the future you won't have to continue feeling this way as new choices and challenges emerge.

I find many individuals reaching out with depression, anxiety, grief, and family of origin issues in addition to a specialized population of creative clients, those going through significant life transitions, LGBTQA clients, and individuals reconstructing their beliefs and sense of self from unhealthy family systems and harmful religious/spiritual beliefs. I work with adult individuals, couples, and groups. In addition, I offer uniquely tailored intensives and ecotherapy sessions and healing religious trauma groups for clients desiring an alternative to traditional, office based talk therapy.

Welcome, and congratulations on taking this step on your journey! I see the courage and strength that have brought you this far, and I’m excited for the growth and healing ahead of you. I have a holistic and collaborative approach to therapy. Before I ever sat across from someone as a therapist, I went into the community with instructions to practice partnership and reciprocity, build capacity, create sustainable solutions, and always reflect to continue learning and growing. That is how I approach my work with clients as well.

You may be juggling life having fear or anxiety as you do your best. You may have experienced betrayal in significant relationships, such as infidelity, emotional abuse or neglect, leading to profound feelings of mistrust, insecurity, and fear of intimacy. You may struggle with attachment issues, finding it challenging to form healthy connections or maintain boundaries in relationships. You may just feel isolated or scared as you are moving forward after a major challenge or transition in life. I support adults to challenge negative beliefs, disruptive behaviors, explore behaviors that do not serve you and you want to change.
