How do we move from merely surviving each day to thriving for the long term? While it is true that most of us are products of our environment, histories, and current circumstances, we need not be forever defined or limited by them. Transforming relationships with family, friends, community, society, and most importantly, ourselves, can help us navigate there. If daily life seems overwhelming, unfulfilling, hopeless, or restrictive, my practice can help you clarify your values and needs, expand your coping skillset, create or deepen your connections, and build a meaningful future for your corner of the world.

Navigating the world as an LGBTQIA+ or gender expansive individual can be challenging, especially as a teen or young adult. Exploring gender/sexuality, while facing homophobia and/or transphobia, can cause significant emotional distress. It can be hard to know how to process and cope with those feelings, or where to turn for help. I hope to provide a safe, affirming environment for adolescents and adults on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum to discuss their unique experiences, and work towards affirmation of their authentic self.

Welcome to my reimagined counseling practice--now, purely virtual! Do you feel like a square peg in a round hole? Are you out of touch with who you are and what you really want? Do you sometimes lie awake nights worrying, "Is this IT?" You know you need a change, but you're not sure how to take the first step. Somewhere along the way, you may have started doing what others thought was best for you instead of trusting your own gut. Perhaps you're unhappy because you and your job aren't a good fit. Maybe you feel overwhelmed with stress from all sides.

I consider therapy as a journey during which one may eventually reach shores of clarity, insight, self-understanding, and transformation. As one sets sail towards the stormy waters of the emotional realm, one gradually discovers the new geographies of conflicted feeling states, ambiguous thinking patterns, and problematically repetitive behaviors in the forgotten coordinates of the inner world buoying at the intersection of the past, the present, and the future.

Often times we feel stressed, numb, irritable, sad, or overwhelmed; and we believe “that’s just life” or “it could be worse” so these are issues we just try to deal with. While all of these emotions are normal to endure at some point in our lives, you do not have to feel alone. A positive therapeutic experience is one of the most important factors to success in therapy because with the right connection and support, anyone can start to see change.

We are a small group of independent therapists who have joined together to assist you in gaining empowerment and making decisions aligned with your authentic self. Some of us come with a desire to end deep emotional suffering, others to resolve issues in life whether it is work/school related, family dynamics, or difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Others turn to therapy out of wanting to have a deeper understanding of ourselves and our engagement in repetitive behaviors and viscous cycles that keep us stuck in old patterns, “dysfunctional comfort”.

I believe that human relationships are the basis of personal well-being, and see the therapy room as a place to develop a model for honest communication and healthy dynamics. I believe our bodies are an invaluable source of information, and I strive to bring clients into their immediate, felt experience while they sit with me. My approach is empathetic, humanistic, present-centered, and aims to help clients understand and live in attunement with their own needs and values. I especially enjoy working with queer, trans, genderqueer, and non-binary individuals. My work is grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Psychotherapy, to me, is about getting to know and accept yourself, gaining an understanding of how you relate to yourself and the world around you, learning better ways to manage emotions and healing past traumas in order to live your happiest, healthiest life. I use a combination of traditional talk therapy and various expressive modalities to help clients reach their healing goals.
