I use a mixture of therapeutic styles, with preference for existential, person-centered, art therapies, and mindfulness.
No one is broken. What does it mean to be you? What are your heart’s secret longings? What are the heavy parts you carry in your body and the hopes that you have yet to speak aloud? Healing is not linear. Let us explore the winding path that is you: in the memories of your past, in your experience of the present, and in the possibilities of the future. I am a transgender-identified therapist who specializes in work with LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones. In addition, I work with trauma survivors, people who have experienced othering, and people in life transitions.

At the same time, we'll cultivate mindfulness, acceptance, and actions aligned with your values.
My therapeutic approach is founded on a simple yet powerful idea: Accepting yourself is the first step toward change. As a clinical psychologist, my focus is on providing specialized treatment that works. I rely on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and exposure therapies. Additionally, I incorporate multicultural perspectives and existential values to create a personalized and meaningful experience.

I work well with individuals who are experiencing symptoms of ADHD, depression, anxiety, and loss of identity-particularly in response to major life transitions. I have special interest in the experiences of caregivers. My deepest desire is to support you as you explore your mind-body connection. Drawing on Internal Family Systems theory, I will orient you to your own unique somatic experience and compassionately guide you towards the agency that is your birthright.

*Email is the best way to contact me for an appointment* Welcome! You are in the right place. Now is the time.

Establishing the life you want can be overwhelming and stressful. No matter what area it is in, getting to a place where you can balance and embrace the highs and lows of every day takes work and consistency. We all have challenges that can make things difficult. I know that sometimes life can put you through storm after storm, or sometimes it is just a challenge to get through changes and adjust. Working together will get you through and prepare you for the future so you are not just surviving but genuinely thriving and at peace.

It is my passion to share in the process of another's life journey, and I consider it a great honor to be present for the healing and growth that therapy can bring. I work with individuals and couples on myriad issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, and relationship difficulties, to working toward personal growth, self-exploration, and healthy relationship development. I am particularly interested in helping women find their voices and personal power, and encouraging them to live more satisfying, empowered lives.

First and foremost, you are not a problem! Unfortunately, this is a message that many of us have heard time and time again. Unconsciously internalizing this message can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or that we’re just not good enough. I aim to assist in the process of healing from these internalized messages and empower clients to discover their own meaning about themselves, the world, and their lives. My goal is to help you learn how to separate yourself from the problems affecting you, allowing space to evaluate challenges objectively so you can start taking steps to reduce their impact on your life.

My goal as a therapist is to help you create a fulfilling, pleasurable sex and intimate relationship. What that means or how that looks is unique to each individual and couple. Sometimes, other things come up when we're talking about sex too! We each change as we age and grow in relationship or solo. I also hold space for the grief that we each individually or together experience for what we expected sex would look like or how things used to be. I work to improve communication via attachment work and redefine what works for you/the relationship. I bring laughter, safety and nonjudgement to each of my clients in our work together.

I have a history of working with many different types of people and concerns. I work best with people who are willing to do self-observation as that is the key to learning about your own thinking and feeling patterns, which is what we are trying to modify. I take a holistic approach and self-observation provides the basis for all of the other work. It is important to start noticing and working with the sensations in the body that accompany our thoughts and feelings, as our body holds the memories of everything we have ever experienced and is the vehicle in which we move and feel in the world.

The ability to communicate and reason are the attributes that set us apart from other species. Active listening is key to understanding and reaching a resolution to the personal barriers that render us as individuals and make us unique.
