Immediate openings, no waitlist. We will do the work together, and you will heal. I help effectively strengthen self-worth while standing with you through times of life-transitions, grief and loss, trauma, resilience, depression and anxiety, personality disorders. Healing happens from the combination of a safe space to share, building on strengths, and positive action towards change. You've been the active, high-performer, but overtime you're coming to realize the high-expectations are keeping you from doing your most effective work, get started, or stay on task. I help the high-level leaders thrive in mental wellness.

I am a queer, fat, cis-gender woman. I'm a divorced single mom, a therapist, a social worker, a community organizer, a birth and postpartum doula, an activist, a friend, and a member of many different kinds of families. All these identities, roles, life experiences have woven together to shape the unique perspective and philosophy that guides me. I am committed to the goal of liberation, individually and collectively. I am committed to finding ways to live life as our liberated authentic selves in a world that tries to shatter our identities, question our experiences, values and dreams.

Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Depleted. Do you feel like the world is slowly crushing in on you, as you attempt to process a recent loss, a life changing situation, or accumulating life transitions? Whether fresh or prolonged in time, it still feels raw and vulnerable, and it's hard to imagine a time without this. You feel isolated, and as if you can't relate to others around you. You crave normalcy during this time of chaos. You want to feel whole again. You want to feel understood and relatable to others. Most of all, you want the simplicity of life that you once had.

Whether you were born with a genetic condition, or have had an injury in the last year, living with a disability that causes ongoing pain can seem hopeless. If your pain is impacting your relationships with family and friends, you're not alone. If your conditions interfere with your ability to do ever day tasks, you are worthy. If the quality of your life feels at the mercy of others, you can experience stability. If you are looking for someone who has experienced a similar path and has found a life worth living, start your therapy journey now.

An ideal client would be someone who has possibly done some therapy work in the past, and still feels stuck in the area of relationships, addictions, trauma, grief or loss or someone who has never been to therapy previously. There are many places to get stuck in life, I find it interesting to find ways out of that place.
