My areas of clinical focus include: LGBTQ affirming therapy and questions of identity; low self esteem (struggling with negative self-talk, never feeling good enough); relationship issues and communication (not secure in your relationships, difficulty communicating your thoughts); negative relationships with food and the body (HAES); anxiety, and depression.
Life is constantly presenting us with obstacles to overcome, and my goal as a clinician is to provide a safe space for you to grow and feel supported as you navigate those challenges. My work with patients is characterized by mutual decision making, trust, respect, and humor. When working with me, you can expect that I will take your feelings and concerns seriously, that I will listen attentively, but also challenge you to see things from a new perspective. I am drawn to working with people who are curious, self-reflective, and seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Every human is unique, meaning that every therapeutic relationship is different.
Do you long to feel more peace amidst the inevitable ups and downs of life? Are you feeling overwhelmed with your responsibilities? Anxious about your relationships? Facing a big change or loss? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I would love to have the opportunity to support you. I enjoy working with adults who are navigating anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, emotional challenges, and grief/loss (including pet loss and ambiguous loss). My clients often seek personal growth, deep inner healing, strengthened relationships, improved confidence, and increased mental calmness.

You want something different, but it’s hard to motivate and place what that really is. You are sensitive, creative, queer, thoughtful, and full of so many thoughts. You likely have a habit of overextending yourself in the hopes of finding where you feel you belong. You see patterns in your relationships that you want to examine and change, and some part of you knows that you deserve a more satisfying life. Therapy is a non-judgmental space in which you can overcome familiar patterns by being witnessed and heard, and acquire tools to improve your relationship with yourself and others.

If you prefer an inquisitive therapist who gently challenges, uses humor when appropriate, and who appreciates client feedback in strengthening the therapeutic relationship, I encourage you to reach out for a consult.
I believe that the most effective way to grow is in relationship to other people, and have faith in the potential for the therapeutic relationship to be a vehicle for deep insight and transformation. I work with adults and adolescents with anxiety disorders, who are processing trauma, who want to improve their relationships, or who simply want to explore their full potential.

Do you lay awake worrying about your relationship, your family, money, your job, or your life in general? Feel stressed out, unable to relax?

To help you figure out what's not working, and new ways to approach old problems. Like how to avoid having the same fight over and over with a loved one. Or maybe you just need someone to talk to, who won't judge you.

Finding a therapist, especially during periods of stress, can be extremely overwhelming. Yet, the connection, the solutions, and the relief that you can access in therapy is priceless. If you’re feeling stuck and don’t know which direction to go in, or if you’re searching for ways to save your relationship, I may be the right fit for you! I have spent the last five years as a trauma therapist for the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, providing thousands of hours of psychotherapy.

Therapy is collaborative relationship built on trust and mutual respect, that can help you gain a deeper and more compassionate understanding of yourself.
I have sought and found so much personal growth through my own therapy and I recognize the strength in having someone there, to bear witness to both the joys and sorrows that are part of living. I want to help you navigate life’s challenges with an open mind and heart and nurture your own resilience. I strive to help individuals better understand their own complex and nuanced stories, with care and compassion. Therapy is a place where the bigger harder feelings have room to breath and define themselves for us; where we can process the past and get excited for the present and future.

These feelings are a natural, unavoidable and sometimes overwhelming part of life. Our day to day lives are filled with ups and downs and we should connect to talk about them. My role is to foster a safe and warm environment and to encourage an open dialogue. During therapy, any thought, feeling and behavior can be discussed, those ups and downs will feel less overwhelming and much more manageable.

It is hard to know when to seek help and where to find it. I offer one free consult session to help you figure it out. I work with adults, early career professionals, and college age students struggling with family, social, relationship, and identity stressors, as well as trauma, anxiety, and depression. I also enjoy partnering with children and teens to address depression and anxiety. I frequently work with these symptoms when a person also has a co-morbid ADHD or Autism. When appropriate, I can offer short term targeted treatments for anxiety and executive functioning goals. Resilience is at the core of my work.

Overwhelming feelings, difficult life transitions, and relationship challenges are normal; but they can take a major toll on the quality of your life and your sense of well-being. In my decade of clinical experience, I've seen therapy provide relief, clarity, and empowerment. I’m here to help you identify long-standing patterns of thinking, behaving, and feeling that may be keeping you stuck. Through increased insight and awareness it becomes possible to challenge the narratives and behaviors that are no longer serving you and find alternate ways of relating to yourself and others.
