Sometimes the world around us seems to be in chaos. Being a human is tough. Of course, it is difficult to find the firm ground you need to grow and thrive. Be it anxiety, depression, coming out, life transitions, gender exploration, work-life balance, or achievement pressure, our therapy work can help you find or rediscover internal sources of stability. As part of our work together, we will also creatively explore how to step out of your comfort zone, while taking good care of yourself. Choosing to change is scary, and worth it. You’re not in this alone.
Taking the first step toward change is often the hardest. Here you are, making it happen. Maybe the next steps are uncertain. Part of our work together will be creatively mapping how you can live less in your head and more in the now. We will also discuss who and what matters the most to you and help you to live a life more aligned with these values.
I do not believe there is a blueprint for any human or identity (e.g., queer, cisgender, trans). I offer therapy individualized to you. Also, know that I do not think you need "fixing". Ready for this important work? Visit my website to schedule a free phone consultation, and to learn more about me and my therapy work. I look forward to hearing from you!

I work with teens, parents of adult and teen LGBTQIA children, and adults on their various journeys with gender and/or sexuality. With such journeys, unwelcome travel companions often are anxiety, grief and/or unexpected stress. Together, we will talk more deeply about the life you want for yourself, and map how small step by small step you or your teen can begin to move forward again.

I strongly align with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (pronounced as "ACT") as a treatment approach. As part of therapy, we will focus on areas in your life where you feel stuck, and help you to reconnect with or identify who is or what is most important as well as help you to live life fully even if it's scary or uncomfortable.
