In my approach to therapy, I believe that connecting with your authentic self is essential for achieving harmony and wellness. Authenticity is the foundation upon which we build a fulfilling and balanced life. In each session, I commit to showing up authentically and wholeheartedly, creating a safe and supportive space where you can do the same. Whether you are uncovering long-held beliefs, trying out new behaviors, or simply expressing your thoughts and feelings, this process is about finding what resonates with your true self.

Something feels unsatisfying right now. You may or may not know what it is that feels off or why you feel that way. You want to understand what's going on so you can live a fulfilling life.

You might be dealing with emotional distress, suicidal ideation, self-judgment, or shame. You might simply be having a really hard time and not have words to explain what’s going on for you. Or, you might want more for yourself in your life: more connection, ease, and support. No matter what brings you to therapy, you deserve a space where every part of you belongs: where you feel unconditionally cared for and seen. I work from a place of non-judgemental acceptance with the goal of communicating that you make sense to me.

My diverse experience includes working in homes, community mental health agencies, inpatient treatment, group settings, online, and private practice.
As a multi-racial, formally diagnosed autistic individual with lived experiences of systemic violence, I bring a unique and deeply empathetic perspective to therapy. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how trauma impacts vulnerable populations differently and often more severely. My commitment to civil rights advocacy is driven by a passion for addressing systemic violence against marginalized communities, including people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, those living in poverty, and people with disabilities.

In times that can seem harsh and unfair, it can be hard to find a way forward. I believe that our problems are not “all in your head.” There are real reasons we feel the way we feel, and they deserve to be heard and honored. Systemic oppression, world events, and childhood experiences can have unexpected effects on our daily lives. If the world has ever told you who you are is “not okay”, it may feel dangerous just to exist in certain spaces, let alone to act on your feelings and desires. I hope our work will help you better understand how to unite your Self, your values, and your circumstances to build the life you want to live.

There are many reasons someone seeks therapy. Whether it is from years of not feeling good enough or a life changing event, I can provide clarity, help you develop a better understanding of yourself, as well as help you to process trauma. By building an understanding of each part of the self and how the mind and body interplay, we can lessen traumatic and unwanted responses and build self-reliance and self-worth. I have a collaborative, holistic, and solution minded approach to therapy. I specialize in working with those who are neurodivergent and/or members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

My therapeutic approach is relational, liberatory, collaborative and strengths based. I work with folks who are navigating life transitions, identity, gender and sexuality exploration of self/loved ones, chronic illness, workplace challenges, survivors of trauma, and those who want to understand how to make adaptations in their lives to support their neurodiversity. I am a queer, white, jewish, neurodiverse, 2nd gen american, parent, who lives with chronic illness. My ideologies are grounded in: social justice, fostering resilience, Black Feminist theory, Queer theory, a HAES model, and trauma informed practice.

Welcome. It's time. You've been thinking about therapy for a minute. You tried it once or twice, were scared or triggered, and lost the inclination. You've been leaving messages with no response and lost the heart or time to circle back. Meanwhile, you keep finding yourself in relationships with the same people doing the same things. A pattern's purpose is to persist, confuse, and make you forget. A series of patterns led you to the burnout, stuck-ness, and relationship issues you face time and time again. Together, we can uncover and break patterns, cycles, and unconscious contracts and walk toward liberation.

It's time to set aside time for ourselves and explore the values that make us human: compassion, community, and curiosity. We're more than just our jobs; whether we work 9-5 five days a week, oversee long tireless nights, or run our own business, it can be hard to see the bigger picture.

I believe therapy is most effective when clinicians welcome the expertise clients have about their own lives. Treatment is collaborative! My hope is to take the relationship we build and extend it to the rest of your life outside of the therapy room. I approach therapy with the assumption that clients aren’t trying to make their lives harder, but often that our attempts to manage distress may increase suffering. Through our work together, we will focus on identifying strengths and values that are guiding behavior, and then challenging and changing the unhelpful aspects and thought patterns that make reaching your goals difficult.

I believe therapy begins within a genuine connection where your unique story can truly be heard and validated. My role as a therapist is to provide space and support with attunement, compassion, and sensitivity to your specific needs. I believe that change occurs within the context of a trusting, respectful, and collaborative relationship in which you feel safe to speak freely about the challenges you are facing.

I’m Black, non-binary, and a queer-identifying therapist, committed to honoring lived experiences and creating a warm-hearted environment for healing and growth. I want to establish moving away from the belief ‘what’s wrong with me’ and transitioning into a space where we make sense of what happened to you. I’m not here to fix you, because you are not broken or damaged goods. I’m here to support you on this yellow brick road we call life.

Currently accepting new clients. Therapy can be difficult, but I hope to help the process with warmth and humor when appropriate. I am excited to work with adults, elders, youth, and children who are wanting to find a way back to themselves. In therapy we might work on building skills, gaining knowledge, or talking about current or past difficulties and experiences. I have a sliding scale from 90$-125$ and can provide superbills to help the reimbursement process with your insurance company. I cannot guarantee the superbill will accept so please check with your provider.

Accepting new clients as of 8/26/24. Whether you’re transgender, non-binary, queer, neurodivergent, kinky or non-monogamous, you deserve a therapist who gets you. Maybe stress or trauma has impacted how you show up to relationships. Maybe creativity plays a big role in your life but you've been feeling disconnected to your creative practice. Maybe despite external success, you struggle to feel good about yourself. As a therapist, I work to support you in bringing curiosity and compassion towards yourself. Together we can unpack your experience, develop deeper self-understanding, and shift patterns that no longer work for you.
