How you relate to others is an important part of who you are as a person. While some people feel isolated and alone, others feel stifled and challenged from managing too many close relationships. Many often suffer because they are caught in old patterns of behaving and relating to others. I believe that healing comes from feeling acceptance, compassion, and forgiveness toward yourself. Only then will you be able to direct those same feelings toward others.

Choosing therapy is a bold step towards positive change. My goal as a therapist is to work with you to realize relational and personal goals by providing empathetic connection, structure and support. Together we will make a container for staying present with difficult emotions that can arise on the journey towards healing and self-realization. My name is Levi (they/them), I am a person-centered therapist under IFS supervision from a trauma-informed lens. I believe that you make sense and that you are the expert on your own experience. I enjoy working with trans and LGBTQ clients, as well others who experience cultural oppressions.

Maybe you're tired of showing up for others in the hopes that they'll show up for you, but they don't reciprocate and you're left feeling drained. You may desire community but the thought of "what if everyone actually hates me?" keeps you lonely and anxious. You might be noticing some shifting in your desires for relationships or sexuality and you're feeling confused and scared. You might even want to cry or hide when thinking about bringing up hard conversations with loved ones about what you truly need. Regardless, you know you want support from an experienced and warm professional who understands that change is hard but worth it.

I fully believe that every human has done and is doing the best they can with the tools they have or were given, whether effective or ineffective, with the information the body has interpreted and stored. The body and brain is malleable, flexible, and able to change. Let’s re-align with our inner-knowing, physical sensations, and core-values; change our interpretations and the narrative, to cultivate a new path forward that supports you as you level up with new and more effective tools. There is hope and I am so honored to join you on this next part of your journey.

Does any of this sound like you? You're exhausted, anxious and stuck. Life feels overwhelming and no matter what you do, you don't feel good enough. It feels like everyone except you has it "together". Maybe you have all you wanted on paper but it you don't feel fulfilled. You beat yourself up, drink too much or are stuck in the cycle of trying the newest Tiktok welllness trend, hoping this will make you feel better. It's not working and you wonder if you will ever feel happy and content. It's time for a change.

Mental health can be a taboo topic that can be difficult to explore. You may be new to therapy or be skeptical of the process of beginning therapy. I work from a collaborative background, encouraging clients to be involved in the therapeutic process as well as steer their own journey. In sessions, I work to demystify mental health and answer any questions you may have. As a queer identifying person, I offer gender affirming and celebratory care to multiple marginalized populations as they navigate life transitions, sexuality, depression, anxiety, and other presenting concerns.

I help you get to the heart of your inner conflicts with questions like: What are the different parts of your personality? Why do you keep repeating the same patterns over and over? Why do you choose one emotional response over another? If you're experiencing addictive patterns (either to substances or behaviors), I can help you find autonomy even if you feel you're self-sabotaging. I am also adept at addressing men's issues, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Anyone who is committed to self-reflection will benefit from my non-pathologizing approach to emotional balance.

Ever feel like you're stuck on a mental treadmill? You try to focus, but tasks take forever. Sleep feels like a luxury, your home is chaotic, and interactions with loved ones leave you emotionally drained. The inner critic is relentless, reminding you of all the "shoulds" and "could-have-beens." Maybe you're forgetful, anxious, and overwhelmed. You've started wondering if you might have ADHD. Work feels overwhelming, relationships are tense, and you're left questioning if you'll ever truly get it "together. As a skills-based therapist, I believe we can work together to "hack" your brain and unlearn those unwanted thought patterns.
