I am a queer feminist licensed marriage and family therapist associate. I show up to my sessions as an authentic, plant loving, halloween enthusiast.

Do you or your teen struggle in your relationships, with stress/anxiety, or your sense of self? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and lost by having to meet everyone's expectations, getting through everyday life, and feeling the weight of your stresses? Do you wonder or hope that your life, emotional health, and relationships could be better, or your teen could have better relationships, improved emotional regulation, and higher self-esteem? Now more than ever, adolescents, young adults, and women are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about themselves, finding their place in life, and developing their sense of self.

The common misconception is that therapy is for "crazy" or "sick" people. Instead I believe it is a chance to work with clients on how to use their challenges as opportunities for change and growth. It is also a time to better understand our view of the world, examine any relationship issues, and become better versions of ourselves. I focus on each individual's unique characteristics, instead of what a diagnosis may say about them.

I specialize in helping individuals of all orientations, face challenges, improve relationships and move through changes.

A DYNAMIC APPROACH TO INNER CHANGE - By combining conventional therapy with different modalities of working with the subconscious, I offer resources for those situations where you have previously done therapy without feeling much movement or change. Because the subconscious is in control 95% of the time, I offer a different approach to work through issues much faster. My experience has been that it does not need to take a long time to heal if given the right resources. If you desire change and create a more peaceful life, call and we can set up a consultation at no charge or obligation.

My approach to Mental Health Counseling is to view the client as expert in their own life. I do not play the role of expert in my client's lives. I do, however act as a guide, advocate, educator, and support person. What I will do is attempt to see your issues from your perspective and your view of the world. I work within the framework of Person-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the client being the expert, Existential Therapy, which focuses on behavior and looks at how the client thinks, feels, and behaves and the impact they have on others.
