Waitlist for new clients
I am an out and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community! I am also a pagan therapist who enjoys utilizing tarot, crystals, and brainspotting in my practice. The question I get asked the most is, "isn't pagan evil?" The easy answer is no; pagan is a term used for anyone who does not subscribe to a "traditional" religion. I prefer nature-based practices, and while I am open to working with anyone, I enjoy working with those who are open-minded and looking for a new experience with therapy. If you have questions send me an email I would love to discuss incorporating alternative therapies.

Living at the intersectionality of one or more marginalized identities is to live a life with the constant necessity to protect your space, affirm your worth, and embrace intentionality in your day-to-day living experience. It also requires the intentional avoidance of internalized self-hatred, expected assimilation, and hypervigilance for your safety in efforts to live a life full of purpose, peace, and inner-fulfillment. Society's intentional assault to the body and mind has damaged individual and collective wellness and resulted in the separation from ones true identity. It is time to reconnect, rediscover, & heal.

I greatly value the opportunity to empower people in their pursuit of well being. You may have a specific concern or a general sense that you wish to move through life differently. I strive to incorporate your values, identities, and unique life circumstances into therapy, working with you as a whole person rather than as a collection of symptoms. I believe that stress and pain are unavoidable parts of life, and that reactions to these can add to distress. In developing and working towards goals together, I consider the quality of our relationship to be a powerful source of healing.

Are you feeling a little “off” lately? Down, anxious or unsure what comes next in life. Or, it could be you just don’t feel like yourself and you’re not sure why. You are not alone. To have problems means that you are human; but there is hope. I provide a warm, accepting space for people to explore what matters to them and what’s getting in their way. In 2008, I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Masters in Clinical Community Counseling.

It’s easy in life to lose ourselves, to feel overwhelmed and stuck. Issues that arise from work, family, environment and even our inner self can leave people feeling angry, sad, frustrated or even numb. Sometimes people repeat patterns and behaviors that they know aren’t helpful, but then get stuck as they are unsure of how to change or even begin the process to heal.

Our individual experiences play a role in shaping our personalities, how we see the world, and how we view ourselves. My goal is to help increase your self-awareness through self-exploration and world-exploration. This approach requires openmindedness, flexibility, and hard work. As a poet, I take a creative approach to nearly all I do, particularly therapy. Life is all about balance and therapy can be emotionally draining work. So I like to make therapy as fun and interesting as possible. I love working with people who are willing to learn, are open to trying new things, who want to grow and like to have fun in the process.
