Most of the individuals and couples I work with are all experiencing some version of the same thing: unmet emotional and/or physical needs. The same fights over and over again. Feeling frustrated because their significant other just doesn't understand! Are you walking on eggshells? Having the same fight over and over again? Wondering if things will ever change?

Accepting new clients! Depression and anxiety in modern life can leave us feeling fragmented and lonely. Life as a queer person facing adverse religious messaging or feelings of anxiety around climate change can feel especially isolating in a southern context. I work with individual adults seeking support for religious trauma, faith transition, queer identity/life, climate anxiety/depression, and high sensitivity. I also work with general issues and use a variety of holistic approaches including internal family systems and EMDR to catalyze deep and lasting healing.

We all experience difficult moments in life, no matter who we are or where we come from, and sometimes it’s simply too hard to do it alone. We need somebody to talk to, somebody with whom we feel comfortable enough to open our heart. Come here and let’s talk. 15 minutes, no strings attached. I am not going to ask for your personal information, your signature on stacks of paperwork, or your credit card number before our first appointment. Let's just see if I can be that person first.

Often when we encounter problems in life, we look for external solutions. Many of the obstacles that keep us from feeling better are internal wounds or patterns that once kept us safe. My goal is to help you shift patterns and heal wounds through the four pillars of mental health: self-knowledge, self-compassion, self-acceptance, and self-love. I believe all people have the innate capacity to heal themselves. I am a dedicated collaborator here to listen with curiosity and empathy and help you uncover your most content, authentic self.

I welcome men to my practice-I think it is helpful to work with a therapist who just "gets it" and with whom you can be your full self.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or wondering why relationships tend to feel so difficult? Do you find that you beat yourself up with self-criticism? Life can be challenging, and we may feel that we have to just keep going and suck it up, which may lead us to feel lonelier and more overwhelmed. In my experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, and previous experience as a yoga instructor I have found that the combination of mindfulness, self-awareness, and processing trauma can be quite powerful in finding our authentic selves.

The exquisitely personal work we do in psychotherapy is one of the most challenging, and most richly rewarding efforts we can undertake. Seeking a deeper understanding of ourselves, healing pain from past relationships and pursuing a more energetic life are essential journeys to take. It is a privilege for me to accompany clients on this journey, holding the lantern that lights the way ahead and sharing in their struggle to find an invigorated life. This relationship is the foundation of healing and healthy change; a relationship with a therapist who is genuine, respectful, resourceful, compassionate, humorous and nonjudgmental.

I believe that the journey to my client’s sense of well-being comes from an integration of work from both mind and body, self-care practices, rediscovering the self-relationship, social connectedness, and creating a life where your values, and a sense of meaning and purpose are your guides to life. There are many reasons you might seek wellness support or psychotherapy. I offer a safe space to explore and talk about your unique life experiences and identify what you want and need from yourself, the world, and others.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
