I have experience providing therapeutic services for LGBTQIA+ youth and adults, PLWHA, survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence, kink/BDSM practitioners, people in polyamorous, non-monogamous, & RA dynamics, and sex workers.
Reaching out and seeking support for yourself can be extremely vulnerable and taxing, especially when you've already been trying to manage overwhelming emotions and the issues of every day life. Even if we do not end up working together, I am glad that you are out here exploring what kind of help is available to you. Shopping for therapists can be tricky. Wherever you are in your journey, whether it is struggling to feel present during sex, questions of identity, or trying to cope with developmental/relational trauma, my goal is to meet you there and help you discover safe and inviting possibilities towards your goals.

My areas of interest include life transitions and adjustments, work burnout and career changes, sensory processing and sensory integration, parenting support, relationship concerns, and healing from religious and institutional trauma.
Maybe you're in the middle of transition: moving, graduating, changing jobs, becoming a parent, or losing someone you love. Maybe you wake up in the middle of the night thinking about all the things you need to do or are stressed about what you 'should do?' Maybe the joys and struggles of relationships feel overwhelming. Maybe you dislike reading these therapist profiles as much as I do. Regardless of what brought you, I’m here for it. I love journeying with people who are sorting through anything from small challenges, to big life struggles, to large system barriers.

I specialize in relationship issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, family conflicts, and grief.
I can be helpful to individuals who are wanting to understand themselves better and are invested in their personal growth. Sometimes people are aware of issues that keep showing up, but have been unable to work through them alone. Sometimes a crisis occurs that acts as a catalyst for seeking professional guidance. Often symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia interfere with enjoyment. Frequently relationships are not working well and support in resolving conflicts and communication skills can be crucial. I have over 30 years experience in helping individuals and couples grow and increase their happiness and well being.

Therapy is about developing a collaborative relationship to help process some of life's toughest challenges and explore our distinct stories.
Something needs to change, but you cannot put your finger on what that change is or how to go about making it. Life feels overwhelming and unrelenting and lacks meaning. You might be thinking, "My life is not everything I want it to be, and I want to figure out why that is." Perhaps, you wonder what makes you YOU and what that means for your work, your relationships, or personal self-growth. In therapy, we will holistically consider your story as we seek to restore balance and facilitate lasting change. You want to write new chapters in your story. Therapy can help you put pen to paper.
