As a Systemic Therapist and Supervisor, I love helping people explore who they are, what they want, and how to get past the hurdles that get in their way. I support people around all issues of identity: how they see themselves, what parts are hidden, and how these things affect their interactions with others. I find that issues of identity are often the core of both personal dissatisfaction and conflicts with others, and so I help people explore what those are and how to work with them.

I am here to help provide support and welcoming space to individuals who might find themselves moving through the world at contrasting angles to the “accepted narrative” of our surroundings. This can often open the door up to feelings of depression, anxiety, heightened stress, and feelings of displacement & disillusionment. Ongoing life stressors and past trauma also impact how we go about engaging with the world. Learning new ways of coping and moving through life can be tricky - it's okay to reach out and ask for help!

You are on a journey of becoming!… Becoming your most authentic, happiest, next-level self. And it’s not easy. In fact, it can be confusing, frustrating, painful… even downright terrifying. Still, here you are- called forward onto this courageous path, perhaps knowing WHERE you want to go, but not always knowing how to get there or what will happen along the way. Living authentically, pursuing your dreams, changing your life... is no small matter. And while no one but you can take this journey, you don’t have to go it alone. It would be my honor and privilege to walk alongside you.

Whether you’re looking to heal wounds, understand your role in the world, or develop practices to support a lifetime of wellbeing, I offer a non-judgemental space to explore what it means to be you in a complex world. We will not only examine the broader systems and dynamics that have informed your life story, but work together to explore your sense of self, obtain clarity about how you got here, and develop a pathway to healing and acceptance. Drawing from research on neuroscience and mindfulness, I will help you increase attunement with your body and its unique safety signals.

Sustaining life outside of mainstream expectations can be incredibly empowering, but finding the support you deserve is not easy when you feel like you constantly are defending and explaining yourself, your identities, and your relationships. As a queer, mixed race, trans, and neurodivergent clinician, my priority is collaboratively creating space for you to show up as authentically as you desire. I work with adults, relationship systems (couples and beyond), and families to heal trauma, invite curiosity, and feel confident in defining our relationships, desires, and needs as we work through life changes.

Tomorrow's leaders are your children today. Being a part of your child's team of advocates is an honor and I take pride in my role. My goal is to create an environment where kids feel accepted and supported, regardless of their gender expression. I know that fostering self-acceptance in this aspect of their identity is fundamental to their overall mental health and well-being.

My number one goal as a therapist is to establish a trusting and respectful relationship with my client(s). Your trust in me is my genuine priority. I work with adolescents (14+), individuals, families and couples. I am a trans and LGBTQIA+ affirming Therapist. I believe that the mind and physical body are intrinsically connected, and that mental health is the loving balance between the two. Finding that balance looks different for every individual and relationship. When you come into this therapeutic space it is my intention to meet you where you're at, not where you think you should be.

Sexual dysfunction can be an anxious topic to explore for many people. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to improve your sex life as well as to provide a calm, comfortable space to explore underlying issues. Several studies have connected a healthy, fulfilling sex to longevity, improved mental health, and higher relationship satisfaction. Also, I connect with doctors and physical therapists to provide all inclusive care.

Life can be isolating at times. This is especially true when you add in ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, chronic illness, and Queerness, cultural, and relationship issues. We hold so many identities and struggles that influence who we are and how we move through our place in the world. It is essential to find yourself among those identities and move into the whole version of yourself that finds comfort in the here and now. This includes finding your community and support through all that life throws at us.

Therapy can be such a gift to oneself. A moment to pause and reflect amidst everyday life. A safe space to release emotion and work through old wounds. A place to explore areas of growth and build new habits. I believe that each person holds the answers for themselves, inside themselves but we often get lost in the clutter. I offer a supportive and compassionate space for you to sort through that clutter and let go of what no longer serves you in or for you to live as your most authentic self.

I center my work with Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) persons at their intersections, most often LGBTQA+, artists, activists, deep seekers, and other healers. Many have a strong spiritual connection to their current obstacles and are willing to integrate that into their treatment. Presenting concerns range from racial trauma to life transitions, grief to identity. There is an understanding that what is presenting is not a problem, where the goal is creating more space around struggles, creating more options, finding a different perspective, and Being more fully.
