I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.

We serve couples, individuals, kids/teens and families looking to improve their relationships.

Do you feel like your relationship has lost the connection that it once had? Have you found yourself struggling to be heard, understood and accepted by others? Do you find yourself in arguments with your partner that feel like the same one over and over again? If you have answered yes to any of these questions then you are not alone. I work with many clients who find themselves feeling stuck in life and their relationships without knowing what to do next.
Often, the people who find me have been disempowered in some way, whether through a traumatic experience or because they have gotten the message that their unique way of being isn't acceptable. These experiences can leave deep wounds and cause disconnection from self and others. My passion is helping people of all ages rediscover their voice and to fully embody who they want to be in the world.
I specialize in supporting high achievers, underachievers, highly sensitive persons, and creatives. I also support adults who are racial, ethnic, social, or neuro minorities. Why does my specialization matter? You want a therapist who can understand the complexity of your life, identity, and history. You want someone who can see your strengths, respect your values, and challenge you in validating and positive ways.
I know what it's like to feel broken, like counseling just doesn't work for you. I felt frustrated with the experience of talk therapy, having some progress but digressing again. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced chronic disconnection in their lives, helping them understand what is actually going on in their brains and bodies when they are defensive, anxious, depressed, emotionally dysregulated, etc. Through understanding and "bottom-up" approaches we can get unstuck.

My ideal client is highly motivated to engage in personal growth and self-improvement, demonstrating a strong commitment to their well-being and development. They possess a growth mindset, meaning they are open to challenges, view setbacks as opportunities to learn, and believe in the potential for personal development and change with a genuine interest in exploring their attachment patterns and understanding how these patterns may influence their relationships and overall well-being.
I specialize in LGBTQ+, transgender, non-binary and women's counseling. I use depth psychology, somatic and mindfulness based healing to create a therapeutic space that helps you heal and grow. Client issues vary from anxiety and depression to self-esteem and sexual identity empowerment. No problem is too big, my practice is open to all.
I am not afraid of the dark. I have found throughout my career most people fear the dark. Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, money, relationships I understand you are afraid, I am not. I believe in curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. Learn the skills and tools needed to elevate your life. I specialize in trauma, grief, dissociate identity disorder, disordered eating, anxiety, empaths, and spirituality. Therapy with a twist: shamanism, tarot, energy work and astrology included.
It is my belief that we all have an innate desire to connect, feel heard, and be understood. My therapeutic approach is grounded in this belief, and it is my hope that we will create a meaningful therapy that is validating and encouraging, yet simultaneously challenging enough to be a catalyst for meaningful growth.

My approach anchored in somatic awareness is especially effective for those who are curious and committed to exploring maladaptive patterns in their life choices and their relationships.

Are your relationships suffering? Are you struggling to date, preserve your relationship, or find sexual satisfaction in your relationships? Are you trying to get pregnant, suffering from a loss, or a new parent feeling disconnected from your baby? Relationship issues are often at the core of our suffering and can leave us feeling alone, rejected, and misunderstood. You deserve the chance to feel seen, to heal, and to grow through and toward connection.
Feeling caught in a frustrating pattern in your dating life or committed relationship? Feeling like experiences in your past are making it difficult to attain or sustain connection? In an era of online dating and instant connection that feels like disconnection, we will work together to understand your past, your current negative patterns, and how to make changes towards healthy relationships.
It’s easier to fix your co-workers problems as a distraction rather than fix your own anyway. If you had the answer, you wouldn’t be in your office in the first place, you’d be outside soaking up the smells of the forest floor. You’re about to finish IOP, and you’re terrified of what life will feel like when you don’t have that support anymore. So you prop your mental health with more plants and coffee and hope for the best knowing you'll be back soon.
As a multicultural woman, I not only have personal experience with historical trauma, intergenerational trauma, and women's issues, but I also specialize in grief and loss, sexual assault/violence, suicidality, relationship issues, transitional difficulties, depression, anxiety, identity formation, and more.

What if I can't handle Polyamory or Non-Monogamy? Am I Queer enough? Where do I even begin to explore my Kinks or Power-Exchange dynamics? Am I really Addicted?...

The overarching goal of our work will be to help you live more authentically, honestly, and with greater confidence.
