My clinical philosophy can be captured by the following words… It’s not just in your head, it’s in your brain. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that much of the ongoing emotional and psychological distress we carry throughout life is rooted in traumatic underpinnings, which directly affects the central nervous system. In helping clients understand the neurological reasons behind their distress, and integrating techniques to support rewiring for well-being, individuals become more empowered and confident to creatively assume control for how they want to live their lives.

Has something always felt off in your life? Perhaps you’ve never made peace with your past, or you feel you’ve settled for too little in the present. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by the challenges of a new pregnancy or new (or old) parenting? You have come to the right place! I can help with the overwhelming feelings of new and old relationships. Feelings of not being good enough, despite what you've accomplished, or everything you do for those around you. I help people discover and accept their authentic self. Sometimes that means learning to better understand and love life as it is, and sometimes that means making changes.

It’s not easy to face the problems alone. Struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family issues, parenting, or major life changes can be challenging.

I am confident that because of my professional experience in therapy I am the person who can help you to start the healing process now.

What would it be like to live a life without constant anxiety? Life without overthinking everything, worrying about what people think about you, or the future? When was the last time you felt comfortable walking into a social setting? When was the last time that you went to bed without replaying the day, feeling embarrassed, wondering who is mad at you, or things you could have said and done differently? You hold yourself and others to a high standard. Your attention to detail and drive has gotten you far in life but when things don’t go according to plan it’s hard to adjust and you end up feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.

As a trans individual and member of the LGBTQ+ community, my ideal client is anyone who is looking for a non-judgemental, safe space to be themselves. I believe we thrive when we experience belonging acceptance. I came to this profession with the mission to connect the gap between LGBTQ+ persons who are interested in counseling and mental health professionals who can affirm their identity.

Life can give us struggles at times, and when we are alone they can seem overwhelming. With help we can learn to manage things with support and then independently so that we can move forward differently. Therapy is an art form and each person requires a different brush stroke. You will be met where you are and treated as an individual person who has value and tons of positive qualities. Most people have the skills they need to be successful but many forget they have them or how to use them. Together we can reintroduce you to yourself and you can begin to live life differently in a more rich and personally fulfilling way.

I provide individual therapy for those struggling with trauma/PTSD, postpartum depression/anxiety, and general depression and anxiety due to life stressors and transitions.
I work alongside my clients to help them feel seen and heard, achieve their goals, and live their best possible lives. It is very important to me that I provide a place that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive, which is the foundation of therapy and helps facilitate change. The goals that people work on in therapy can involve anything that is important to them- learning healthier ways to express anger, finding new ways to cope with the effects of past traumas, stabilizing mood episodes (e.g., mania, depression), maintaining and establishing sobriety, improving their relationship with themself and others, and more.
