I work with people who want to improve their relationships and build more meaningful connections. Many of us are taught from a young age to hide our feelings, remain stoic, and always be in control. These expectations can leave us with questions about our personal identity and struggling to find meaning in our lives. For many of us, society has ingrained the belief that expressing emotions is not okay. This can lead to unresolved past wounds and lead to issues like depression, anxiety, and difficulties feeling close with others.

Anxiety, depression, addiction, neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, OCD), and traumatic experiences can all take away a person’s voice, understandability, and respect, especially during adolescence and adulthood. There are pieces to their story which a person can either block out, ignore, or fear. The problem comes when these pieces eat away at the person’s emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and/or vocational health. Building resilience involves getting that voice back, feeling understood, and respected in an inclusive environment.

Do your emotions ever feel overpowering or too intense? It's as if you're riding an emotional rollercoaster, and even the slightest trigger can propel you into a state of panic or overwhelming rage. Are you grappling with the challenges of regulating these emotions, with feelings such as anxiety, anger, or numbness, frequently taking the reins and controlling your every day life?

You're a good fit for me if you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, feel like you're constantly managing a mental checklist, and struggling with self-doubt. You have difficulty setting boundaries and often feel unsupported in your relationships, leading to frustration and burnout. You're conflict avoidant but desire deeper connections, and feel stuck in unfulfilling patterns. You're ready for change, you want to improve your self-worth, build healthier relationships, find balance, and learn how to be more compassionate with yourself. You know it'll benefit you to slow down in all the ways - but you're not sure how to do it.

Life presents challenges to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. You often have no control of the challenges that come your way. Your only control is your response, which creates your experience. As a solutions-focused therapist, I collaborate with you to understand the power of your thoughts, and remind you that you have it within yourself to take back control of your emotional health.

The areas I specialize in include working with mood disorders, young adults, parenting support, various life transitions, and I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ individuals as a non-binary therapist (they/them), most especially with gender identity issues. I am also passionate about helping individuals going through infertility experiences, as my wife and I experienced this struggle firsthand before we had our child using IVF treatment. I love offering a compassionate approach to these sensitive subjects as individuals navigate their options and explore the complex emotions associated with infertility in therapy.

I am a therapist with a variety of skills, education and past work experience. I like to think of myself as eclectic. I see therapy as a safe and supportive place to explore your personal feelings, issues, joys, frustrations, dilemmas and concerns, all in a "Judgement Free" zone. I believe that everyone needs help now and again and I can offer you suggestions/ideas from a perspective that is different from yours. Sometimes a different perspective is all you need to navigate safely and gracefully over the mountain in front of you.

Hi there! I specialize in working with folks who are experiencing behaviors and emotions that are difficult to understand. Together, we can explore what those thoughts and feelings are, how best to understand them, learn about treatment approaches, and set goals. I enjoy helping to build a support network that has your best interest at heart, and allows you to share your experience with those supports in a way that gives you choice and dignity. LGBTQAI+ affirming and compassionate care is the standard here, as is support around accessing reproductive healthcare.

My passion and commitment are to help individuals and couples become whole in every area of their life; so they can be the best versions of their selves. I lead each session with empathy, warmth, and focus; so that we can get to the “root" of the problem, which often leads to additional stress, depression, and anxiety. My grounding belief is that we are all broken in different ways and in different places, but you do not have to remain broken.
