Welcome! Clients come for support with a wide variety of concerns. Some have experienced a loss or trauma in their lives, or have had a significant life transition. Other clients are struggling with depression or anxiety, or are having problems in their primary relationships. Many clients have a desire to improve their self awareness, to improve their perspective, or to strengthen their life skills. My work is informed by an eclectic mix of treatment models; psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. I also teach Mindfulness practices as an effective tool to strengthen perspective and build resiliency.

You may be here because your life is feeling pretty messy right now, overwhelming, and hard. Or maybe you’re feeling stuck and you don’t know how to get unstuck. Or past experiences and past trauma affect your daily life and your relationships. Or perhaps your relationship is not where you want it to be, and you long for it to be better..but you don’t know what to do next. Would you like to finally feel less overwhelmed and actually experience getting unstuck, so that you can see yourself in a different light? With a clearer perspective, that feels empowering, accepting and self-loving, with more calmness, balance and ease?

I am a therapist because I believe we should be creators of our lives and not consumers of others' expectations. Working collaboratively, you and I will explore where you feel stuck and make moves toward a more fulfilling life. As an artist and a queer feminist, I am a great therapeutic fit for folks who want to build an authentic life. I love working with adults as they navigate life changes in relationships, career, finances, and family; and I love working with teens as they navigate school, neurodivergent diagnoses, and identity.

You did everything “right.” You got the job you worked hard for and found a partner that checks (some of) your boxes. You go to yoga, read all the self-help books, and even tried to have a 5a-9a before your 9a-5p. But you have nothing to show for it. You’re exhausted, burned out, anxious, depleted, and defeated. You’re at your breaking point. This isn’t what you expected life to feel like. It’s not you. It’s society. Women have been socially conditioned for - well, forever - to live up to ridiculous, contradictory expectations. These messages are implicit, but they teach us to be small, and prioritize others before ourselves.
