Mental health issues are as unique as the person going through them. It can be frustrating or frightening when no cookie cutter treatment works for everyone. I believe that we often receive oppressive and harmful messages that can lead to mistaken beliefs about ourselves and get in the way of achieving a meaningful and fulfilling existence. If you feel lost or overwhelmed by the weight of the world, I can support you with deconstructing damaging thoughts, emotions and experiences to find empowerment in yourself and move forward as the expert in your life. I strive to make therapy an insightful and uplifting experience for all.

Accepting new patients (as of September). My practice specializes in working with folx from erotically marginalized communities. Whether you are queer, pursuing ENM/CNM/Polyamory, or have a kink or fetish, you deserve a therapist who understands the importance of these parts of your life, won't criticize or pathologize them and is with you in solidarity and community. I am pleasure-positive, kink-aware, and passionate about working with people who have been or are involved in sex work. My work is informed by an intersectional feminist lens and incorporates principles of body neutrality, and health at every size (HAES).

Life can be overwhelming with its many challenges and stressors. Maybe old patterns that were once adaptive are no longer effective. Maybe you are feeling stuck and disconnected from yourself and others. Maybe you are experiencing a difficult loss or life transition and are struggling with feelings of depression and anxiety. Maybe you just want to feel that you are the author of your own story. It is important to know that you can change the trajectory of your life at any time but you must have a willingness to do the work.

There are times in our lives when we end up feeling sad, angry, anxious, or lost. Sometimes, we find ourselves in unwanted patterns that lead to self-doubt, damaged relationships, failure to reach our potential and an inability to see our worth. Therapy can help people recognize these patterns and learn new ways to cope.
