I work with individuals who are feeling stuck or going through transition in their lives. I believe that people are doing the best they can, but habitual ways of relating to ourselves and others can hold us back from having the life and relationships we want. Some of my areas of interest include working with anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQIA2+ folks, BIPOC folks, and those in polyamorous or nonmonogamous relationships. I am a mixed race, queer, able-bodied, cisgender female. I provide an affirming environment for members of the LGBTQIA community to explore sexual and gender identities.

Are you a neurodiverse and/or queer identified person struggling to adapt to the pressures and expectations of our current social structure? Do you find yourself apologizing a lot to people who deem you irresponsible, lazy, dramatic, overly emotional, spaced out, or incapable of following through? Does the movement of time feel abstract and meaningless one moment and then overwhelming and stressful another? Do you ever think maybe this world was designed for others more capable than yourself? Are you struggling with who you are and how you show up? Are you stuck? Are you a creative with no inspiration?

You are worthy, unique, and enough! You have the capacity to heal and thrive! An extraordinary and fulfilling life is possible for all of us! At some point, we may all experience pain. Our struggles and “stuckness” are complicated and layered. If you feel stuck and are yearning to be “unstuck,” we can work together. Being stuck can present as lack of meaning, feeling disconnected from yourself, having unfulfilling or unsatisfying relationships, challenges with transitions, deep dilemmas, mood troubles, and constant worry among many others.

Therapy is a space for you to feel heard, validated and supported. It's an approach to feel less anxious, work toward goals, heal from trauma, and improve relationships. It can sometimes feel impossible to find ways to thrive in the capitalistic, oppressive system we're in, especially for marginalized folks. It is my goal for us to find ways for you to feel safe, fulfilled and content.

Therapy offers a temporary refuge from the pressures of our day-to-day lives. It's a space for us to better understand ourselves and practice how we want to be in the larger world-especially in a world that actively harms so many of us. We all carry trauma that informs our behaviors, sometimes resulting in anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflict. I work with clients to find what lies at the root of these problems and discover solutions. I take an integrative approach to this, meaning I draw on a variety of different treatment modalities based on your needs.

If you feel stuck in a loop of anxiety, depression, people pleasing tendencies, and don't know how to connect back to yourself, I see you and have been there. Together let’s look at what your emotions have been telling you and bravely look at what's been asking for your attention. It can feel vulnerable and painful to acknowledge what isn't working and I believe it is something we are not meant to do alone.
