In all of my time working in the field of mental health and wellness, I have become completely awed by the strength, resiliency, and beauty of the human spirit. My work as a counselor is focused on reflecting and co-creating opportunities to bring forth our best self. By taking ownership of the stories we tell ourselves, we can overcome any adversity, reach any level of self awareness, and begin to live the lives we feel meant for. My orientation stems from a Gnostic (Self-Knowledge) exploration of the self, seeing who we are, where we begin and where we truly meet others.

We live in a complicated and challenging society and then, we have ourselves to deal with. Therapy is a good way to understand yourself on a deeper level so you can grow to your full potential and change the things that need to be changed. By doing so, we not only heal ourselves, but we are then a benefit to others in our life and to the world in general. I think I can help with that no matter where you are in the process.

Do you yearn for more harmonious relationships in your life? I will support you to uncover patterns that lead to disconnection, cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and others, develop more effective communication skills, and explore solutions that can lead to lasting, positive change. Healthy relationships are fundamental to our well-being and yet the pathway is not always simple or clear. With a nonjudgmental, holistic, and growth-oriented approach, I counsel individuals, parents, intimate partners, and families who struggle with interpersonal issues so that they can achieve more ease and harmony in their relationships.

At times we all find ourselves in periods of growth that can be challenging and confusing. Growth and change can be difficult but if troubling obstacles are removed, one can move towards a healthier, creative, vibrant life with a new sense of meaning and purpose. I tend to look at symptoms individuals are struggling with as guides showing the changes one needs to make in order to develop into their authentic, creative self. The work I do with client’s is often symbolic and includes dream work, creative expression, deep conversation, lessons from nature, and a deep relational connection that can foster authentic experience.

Sometimes it is really hard to persist. Making change or accepting reality can be confusing. Reaching out to a therapist can be scary. With empathy and an anti-oppression approach, I can help you examine what's keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, frozen, or confused. I specialize in working people who move through the world differently, particularly trans and queer people.

Currently Accepting New Clients. What does it feel like to be heard, seen, and understood? To get to say out loud the things you've struggled with inside, and not feel alone? Perhaps there's a part of you that you're wondering about, or you've noticed patterns in your life that aren't serving you anymore. Maybe you are seeking a more joyful, fulfilling and authentic way of living, and are curious about what is left to be discovered of who you are and the life you want for yourself. My therapy practice is a space that is affirming of who you are, what you’ve experienced, the systems that impact you, and your feelings about it all.

Have you experienced a loss that is impacting your quality of life? My focus is to support individuals who are experiencing chronic grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, identity confusion, or developmental adjustments as a result of traumatic events, environmental changes or life transitions. As you engage in a therapeutic trusting relationship, your core strengths, values, insights and resilence will emerge to gain balance. Humans are in a continual process of transformation. When developmental process is interrupted by an event, loss or stuck in the social structures we live in, an opportunity for new growth becomes possible.

Are you sad or anxious? Maybe you are hard on yourself and want to stop, but can't. Maybe something difficult happened to you, or world events have disrupted your ability to function. You're not alone, and you're welcome here. I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed psychodynamic therapist. That means that I am guided by the therapeutic relationship itself, and I trust that there is an innate healing force within each of us that emerges naturally as each part of us is fully heard and understood.

My strength is in making you feel supported and accepted, by using a person-centered, collaborative approach to help you find a way forward out of habitual but ineffective ways of coping with life events. Coping with inevitable life change can be painful and difficult, resulting in anxiety, depression and other forms of distress. My specialty is facilitating and guiding the process of developing an understanding of the varied life influences that have brought you to this point and to help you change habitual but unsatisfactory patterns of behavior.

I love working with clients that are looking to face their challenges, find the tools to deal with them and change their life! I have seen clients be able to identify their issues and know they want to be able to feel joy again and I get excited to get the opportunity to walk by their side, learn those coping skills, so they are able to reclaim their inner strength.
