You already have everything within you to meet your goals. I am here to help quiet the noise, focus your energy, and support you through the challenges and celebrations that lie ahead. I work collaboratively with my clients to improve self-acceptance, clarify the path you are walking, and cope with the unique difficulties you experience. You deserve to heal and you are not only your pain. We will look at your many parts to empower you to level up and move forward with confidence.
I often work with themes of shame and acceptance to combat struggles around gender, sexuality, body image, relationship structures, and mental health diagnoses. I have unique experience working with LGBTQ issues, suicidality, and self-harm.
You are not alone. You have already exhibited strength and determination by getting this far. I support and empower my clients to pursue their most authentic and fulfilled lives. In a world that can feel isolating, I will be here to walk alongside you.

I regularly use an integrated approach rooted in existential therapy using techniques and interventions from CBT and IFS. Using existential therapy, we will find meaning in your life narratives and look at the big picture. CBT techniques will analyze how your thoughts may affect your feelings and behaviors. IFS allows us to look at the many parts that make up your whole being.
