Some people struggle for weeks, months, or even years before considering psychotherapy. And it makes sense — it's hard to confide in a stranger and can take a while to find the right fit. We want authenticity and experience in a therapist but also someone relatable and easy to talk with. When couples counseling, family therapy, or child/adolescent support is needed, the search may seem even more daunting. We need a clinician with the interpersonal skills, temperament, and adaptability to forge a meaningful connection with our partners, children, and the networks who support them.

Are you sometimes or often overwhelmed and confused by your emotions? Do you find yourself living “on autopilot” and want to become more present? Many of us with historically-excluded identities live in a state of chronic dysregulation. Therapy can function as a place to replenish whatever is needed at that time so we can be as well-rested and nourished as possible.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, experienced working with adults on a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, life transitions, loss and grief, and personal growth.
Impediments to happiness are worth exploring. Whether the goal is to better your life, improve your relationship, or become a better parent, change is always possible. Relying predominantly on cognitive behavioral strategies, I'll work with you to alter unhelpful patterns of thinking or behavior, and so change the way you feel. Where appropriate, a psychodynamic approach can uncover patterns influenced by unconscious thought. Many personal troubles are the result of mental processes that are hidden from us - developing insight can allow you to process vulnerable or painful feelings and begin changing those patterns.
