You might be feeling loneliness, loss, hurt, sadness, and frustration. You may also have experiences of family disruption, trauma, societal stigma, and not quite fitting in with your peers. In therapy, we will uncover the blocks that keep you feeling stuck in unresolved grief, disconnected relationships, depression, and anxiety, so that you can live a more enriching life. I come from the understanding that you innately carry the resources to thrive. Together, we can embark on a continued journey, learning about the complexity of who you are and ways you can heal to connect with your core self.

I believe in the importance of feeling connected in relationships, to our environment, and to ourselves. Addressing the “here and now” that arises during therapy allows our sessions to adapt and work with the difficult emotions or thoughts that come up, in an environment that is judgment free and safe. I specialize in working with those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem issues, grief and chronic pain, among other issues. I am LGBTQIA+, gender-affirming, and enjoy working with clients along the spectrum of neurodiversity and disability.

I come to this work with a background in social work and public health, and am passionate about creating a space where my clients feel seen, heard, and validated. I have had experience both as a client and as a therapist with DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and this informs the work that I do. As someone with a background both personally and professionally shaped by trauma, I am dedicated to practicing therapy in a strengths-based and trauma-informed manner. I bring my queer and neurodivergent identities to this work and feel at home working with queer clients and non-monogamous relationships.

The relationship I develop with both individuals and partners seeks to prioritize and build value around your own unique identity, as well as your singular and/or cultural understanding of wellness, safety, trust, and strength. Together we will explore the intersections of mind, body, community, and spirit to find new ways of being in the world that foster a lively and meaningful life. I consider you to be the expert of the meaning you pursue, and I value time spent letting you in on the “secret” of the therapeutic process so we can bend it to your individual need. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, as well as polyamory and kink affirming.

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.

I believe that you already contain a deep power for healing. Together with kindness and curiosity, we will create a safe and accepting space where all aspects of you are welcome. Our journey will be one of shared exploration and discovery. I am here to guide and support you along the way. Our work will originate in the here and now—what is present in your life currently, learning to meet what shows up with care and compassion. I love counseling those in transition— be that career, gender, or otherwise and draw from feminist, existential, Buddhist, and somatic frameworks and work from a trauma-informed lens.

Thanks for checking out my profile! My approach to counseling engages clients' unique inner worlds via practices like art therapy, dreamwork and attention to somatic signals, without neglecting the impacts of outer circumstances and systemic harms. My work as a supervisor aids counselors early in their career learning to attend in similar ways.

At all stages of our lives, we are met with opportunities to build our sense of self and draw on our innate resiliency towards healing. I work with youth who may be just developing their identity and making sense of the world around them, and adults who have experienced trauma or other challenges that threaten to shake that foundation. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths based, and client-centered, so we will explore your unique strengths and vision for yourself and use that as our guide. I provide a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment for you to explore your identity, your values, and what living fully looks like.

In our work together, I'll help you explore your personal history so that you can achieve a deeper understanding of your current problems and achieve greater self-awareness. I believe our early experiences and traumas show up in our current lives and can manifest themselves in a myriad of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therefore, I view therapy as a guide moving us towards the necessary clarity needed to live more purposely, thoughtfully, and with greater self-awareness.

My therapeutic style is warm, curious, collaborative, and interactive. I take a strengths-based, holistic approach to therapy, understanding that no one exists in a vacuum. I will work with you to understand how all the systems (family, work, & societal) you interact with throughout life impact you. There is no one size fits all approach in therapy, with every person bringing their own authenticity and individualized life contexts, thus I tailor therapy to meet you where you are. As I walk alongside you on your growth and healing journey, I will also look for little ways to find laughter and joy amongst any pain and truth.
