No one likes struggling. It's hard. And even though we don't all talk about, we all do it --we struggle. It feels easier to struggle alone because it's safe. But deep down we're looking for someone to share it with. We're looking for someone to understand us, make sense of our feelings, and offer us support along the way. Hard to find, isn't it? Well, that's where I come in. Whether you're overwhelmed, alone, or struggling with a new major life transition, I can help you. Therapy can help you. Together we will figure out your feelings: what they mean, where they come from, and what you want to do with them.

It is in my belief that we are all intrinsically whole, deserving and worthy of love and meaningful connections. However, somewhere along the way we have incurred pain and hurtful experiences that have tainted our story and lens of how we see the world and ourselves. Sometimes the narrative runs so deep that we can’t stop the thoughts and feelings that flow continuously. In this way, everyday feels like a struggle. Perhaps you secretly feel lost and lonely or you struggle with feelings of anxiety, insecurity or sadness and are uncertain about how to navigate the complexity of your emotions. Wherever you are - your story matters.

Therapy is the process of moving closer to yourself, of building and strengthening your role as your own healer. It is a collaborative process rooted in a trusting, supportive relationship that involves play and celebration as much as it involves discomfort and struggle. I work from a trauma informed, sex positive, and LGBTQ+ affirmative perspective to support the development of a sense of safety in sessions. I am in a frequent state of growth in confronting my own internalized racism and dismantling structures of oppression. My approach is informed by Spiritual Psychology, IFS, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

Making the decision to start therapy can be daunting, but I believe that the therapy process can help you gain a better understanding of your behaviors, relationships and sense of self. I also believe that therapy can help to ease the emotional pain and discomfort that life changes and transitions can stir up. I create a safe and caring environment where we will work together to identify and work through the obstacles you face so you can achieve your goals.

As humans, we all have an innate need for personal growth. As I see it, many of us live with a feeling that we have either been standing in one place for too long, or our lives around us are changing at a pace that we cannot control. In either event, it's common to feel overwhelmed, scared, anxious or depressed. However, these life events and circumstances can be amazing opportunities for growth.

As a therapist, I've come to deeply appreciate the inherent messiness and imperfection of being human. We all carry quirks, shadows, inconsistencies - and that's okay. My role is not to judge or fix, but to create a safe space where you can explore all of who you are with acceptance and compassion. I aim to provide a balance of practicality and profundity in my work. On a practical level, I'll share tools, frameworks, and insights from evidence-based modalities to help shine light on core issues. But I also believe therapy should allow for transcendence - those profound "aha" moments where you glimpse a deeper truth about yourself.

Psychotherapy is the process of facing obstacles that block our growth. In a trusting therapeutic relationship one can learn to let go of fears and unhealthy patterns of behavior. Together we will create an environment where curiosity, intellect, feelings and humor allow one to evolve and change.

When the time comes to make a change, it takes courage to ask for support. To be one who can respond to that request is a privilege. Starting in community mental health (access for all) and moving into my private practice, I have had experience working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and grieving with adults, children, couples, and the LGBTQ community. I specialize in working with people who have a history of trauma, big and small, and varied relational issues. I integrate my psychodynamic and relational training with long- or short-term, problem focused psychotherapeutic work as well as EMDR treatment.
