Life is a journey, a journey that is most difficult when traveled alone. I strive to walk with clients on their path towards healing and happiness. Working from a client-centered approach, it is essential for me to understand each client as an individual to develop trust and a partnership in therapy. Relationships, trauma, careers and other stressors take a toll on a person's ability to flourish. I believe that each person has potential for growth from those experiences. My goal is to help you regain your footing on your path to living a full and vibrant life.

I am also passionate about the transgender community and have provided over 3,600 hours of individual & group therapy for gender dysphoria.
Not accepting new individual therapy clients. I still do letters for gender affirming surgeries and have openings in my gender dysphoria groups. I strive to provide a compassionate, safe, caring, and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself, express your emotions and thoughts, and feel heard. We live in uncertain, unpredictable times and the need for self-care and connection is greater than before. Know that whatever you are feeling is normal and you are not alone. Remember too that crises can also be opportunities for growth. I am here to help you navigate your life with compassion, healing, and understanding.

My goal in therapy is to assist you in finding the best version of yourself. For so many, our best qualities are stuck behind trauma, learned behaviors, and negative thinking. I am here to help you unpack the hurt you’ve been through and make sense of it. If you feel like you don't really know yourself or you're just kind of going through the motions - I want to help you find purpose within your day to day lives. Time is going to move no matter what. With a little help from some therapy, I hope that you'll start to feel more in control of your life and your time.

Every person is unique and each of us has a story. Our stories are filled with a special blend of feelings and experiences. Sometimes our stories are so frightening and painful that we are afraid to share them with others. Your story matters. I am here to listen, explore the impact of your story with you and help reinforce your skills to move forward.

Do you feel emotionally exhausted or stuck with the weight of life stressors or traumatic and painful experiences? Do you feel you spend a lot of your time trying to make sure everyone else is ok before you care for yourself? We can have a strong inner critic or develop coping strategies that at one point may have served us to protect ourselves, but now may be hindering our ability to connect and love ourselves or others. I want to help you connect back to yourself and values so you can go from surviving to thriving. Therapy can provide a healing space for you to let go of pain and let love and acceptance back into your life.
