Telehealth Only! I have one rule in session: We have to laugh at least once. Life is hard, work can be stressful, parenting can be chaotic, relationships can be confusing, and sometimes we are just not okay! Therapy can be a place where you learn more about yourself, your family of origin and the world around you. Even though life is hard we can still have peace. With a mindfulness approach, we can help you find your safe place. We can change how you relate to the world and your suffering in a manner that benefits you. In a life that can sometimes be a rollercoaster, we will work together to handle the ups and downs.

My passions are helping adults and teens navigate ADHD, life transitions and developmental trauma. Navigating life with ADHD can be difficult at any age. I seek to help parents, children and adults learn to accept the gifts and manage the challenges of living a successful life with ADHD. Life transitions are major life events that can be difficult to work through. Developmental trauma occurs when we do not get what we need emotionally from our caregivers as children. Altough often intentional this can leave us feeling damaged and unloved. I seek to help you discover how to connect to and love yourself and others.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, a survivor of religious trauma, and someone who suffers from a chronic physical illness, I know that life is full of ups and downs. These ups and downs shape us into who we are, for better or worse, but that doesn't mean you can't make positive changes. In the past couple years I had the privilege to work with a therapist who helped me work through the best and worst parts of who I am and become proud of who I am. That is why I want to be your therapist. I want to be able to provide you with the opportunity that I had, the opportunity to become the best and most authentic person you can be.

Things kind of suck right now, don't they? At the time of writing this, the word feels like it's a dumpster fire. If you're like me though, things have always felt rough internally and connection has never been easy. I hope to offer connection and unconditional positive regard for anyone whose ever felt like they're on the outside looking in. The vision I hold for all clients is to know they are worthy and valid exactly as they are in this moment, and my role is to hold that belief for you until you can hold it yourself. I practice from an anti-racist, relational cultural, fat-positive, and generally affirming lens.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck, whether due to trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, or a significant life transition. They seek a space to explore their feelings, experiences, and stories without judgment. They may have experienced childhood wounds, workplace stress, or religious trauma and want to move forward but aren’t sure how. They aim to heal from the past and develop tools to navigate the present and future better. They’re ready to do the work, even if it feels daunting, and they value the process of understanding themselves more deeply.

It would be nice to say that we could go through life without heart ache or struggle, but unfortunately no one is immune to challenges. So what do we do when life becomes overwhelming? How do we handle intense emotions? How do we create meaningful relationships in the face of conflict? As a therapist, I have worked for 25 years helping people find ways to cope with life's difficulties, make and maintain positive relationships, learn to understand their emotional reactions, and find ways to clarify their goals so that they may create a life that feels worth living.

You seem to have it all—a successful career, lasting relationships, and a commitment to making a difference. Yet, internally you're plagued by a sense of emptiness, loneliness, and a longing for true meaning and fulfillment. Many of my clients are dedicated high achievers who pour their hearts and souls into everything they do, yet they feel overworked, overwhelmed, and disconnected from their own needs and desires. They yearn for genuine understanding, connection, and the freedom to be their authentic selves. They seek to shed old narratives and limitations, embracing vulnerability to rediscover purpose and vitality.

Therapy provides the unique opportunity for you to adventure into and openly investigate your internal world. Emotional transformations can be akin to wading into the ocean or navigating a new trail in the forest. While these pursuits are exciting, they can also be intimidating, challenging, or frustrating at times. I view my role as your co-pilot; helping you to navigate what it is that brings you to therapy with the goal of unleashing your innate strengths and ability to overcome. I do so with a genuine curiosity and openness, integrating my training in mindfulness and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.
