Our clients are high achieving millennials, identity-developing gen-zers, people in transition, and people who think deeply about themselves and their growth. Our clients are asking: Why do my emotions feel so out of hand? How do I understand my relational patterns? How is my experience of trauma showing up in my every day life? Do I have ADHD? Do I have bipolar? Am I on the right medication? Should I take a break from work? How do I manage difficult relationships?

The complex experience of being human can leave us feeling exhausted, numb, discouraged, fearful and hopeless at times. I work with my clients to find clarity and hope by helping them connect to their values to take steps towards meaningful change. Therapy can be a space to explore different parts of yourself and cultivate a tool box of skills to help you effectively cope with the challenges life can bring. I approach therapy with openness, compassion, and utilize evidence based practices to guide my work. I provide individual and family therapy to adolescents and adults.

I believe therapy should be a safe and non-judgmental space with a healthy mix of feeling your feelings, accountability, education and humor. My approach is to serve as a partner and guide on your journey to explore and sort the helpful vs. unhelpful in your life. Sometimes this journey will be tearful and uncomfortable, and sometimes we will laugh together at my many metaphors. I am most passionate about working with individuals who feel like they are “not good enough,” worry about living up to others’ expectations or struggle sometimes to get out of bed because their sadness is overwhelming.

In my work with those between the ages of 12 and 29, I take a solution-focused approach. I believe in moving forward versus backwards by helping young people envision their preferred future. I take an interest in previous achievements and believe in uncovering the motivation required to take next steps. It’s never too early, or too late, to begin planning for the type of life one desires to live.

Throughout our lives, there are a number of experiences that lead us to feeling alienated and disconnected from our bodies, our relationships to others, and our sense of worth. I hope to support you in returning home to yourself in all of your complexities. I believe in leaning into discomfort in an effort to uncover the wisdom behind strategies used to cope. It is through this learning that you can gain the tools to shift in ways that bring you to a place of greater abundance, connection, and radical self-love.

The truth is, our world is unpredictable. Our lives are jolted by circumstances that are wonderful, exciting, + lovely–circumstances that are terrible, tragic, + awful. These two opposites do not cancel each other out. Life is both incredible + hard. Therapy is a courageous choice to explore the impact these circumstances have on our lives. The goal of therapy is to help you flourish–to work from the core of who you are to equip you with the necessary skills to live the life you desire. It would be an honor to come alongside you in this aim.

I enjoy helping others find meaningful, authentic ways of connecting in their relationships and communities. Those I work with tend to feel a lack of connection or authenticity in their life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process in which we get to recontextualize our experiences through truthful and empowering reframes. This includes curiosity in how your identity and lived experience has shaped your worldview. I am professionally and personally passionate about geek and gaming culture and am comfortable weaving this into therapy when appropriate. Additionally, I work with a lot of young adults in the tech industry.
