Whether you are looking to make a major life change or a small adjustment I am here to help you move toward your vision for the future. Let's work together to identify what’s holding you back, overcome the roadblocks, and help you transform into your happiest and healthiest self.

As a human being, I understand wanting to live, not simply exist. Throughout my life I have learned that setting achievable goals and dreaming big can co-exist. I have used many of the same strategies I use in my professional work to achieve my own personal goals. If we are honest with ourselves about what we want, have the courage to work at it day after day, and embrace progress over perfection, we are capable of achieving so much more than we thought possible. Let me help you create a life that is overflowing with the experiences and purpose you’ve always wanted.

If you think we might be a good fit, contact me to schedule a free consultation today. I look forward to hearing from you!

I believe having a safe place to process our life challenges creates an environment for change and growth. Safety is key when processing our everyday struggles and mental health issues.

Whatever the issue, having a safe place within counseling creates restoration. It creates a space were you can start loving and accepting yourself. This process starts with vulnerability. It takes courage to be vulnerable, and vulnerability leads to true change. Vulnerability breaks down the walls of shame, depression, grief, and negative self image leading to hope and healing.

When sitting with me in the counseling context you will find yourself sitting with someone that is calming and centered. My focus in therapy are your personal difficulties, not an easy fix. Therapy is meant to be a long lasting relationship with the therapist in order to provide the best mental health care possible.

This type of therapy is what results in long lasting change. I believe that the therapies that tend to be quick and controlled result in immediate change, but not lasting change. Lasting change takes time and energy. As your therapist I will give you many resources that push you towards lasting change. If you are ready for this journey to begin please contact me and set up your free 30 min.

Growing up, I always knew that I was different. Intuitive, creative, sensitive and emotional, I knew that I didn't fit the mold I was given but I could not understand why. Through engaging with my own experience of gender and sexuality, I was able to figure out how all the pieces of myself fit together and enable me to live fully and authentically in my world.

As a therapist, I work with others who feel that they do not fit - those of us who have felt discomfort in ourselves, in our families, in our communities. I believe that in order to truly understand who we are and who we want to become, we must explore the experiences that we’ve had and look at the impact they have had on us. Once we understand what we have to work with, we are free to chose the best ways to move forward on the journey.

I specialize in navigating complex power struggles and inner conflicts. Great suffering may be present with paradoxical feelings and associated vulnerabilities and insecurities. This also means there's tremendous potential for vitality and self-actualization to emerge. True growth. Perhaps you feel this intuitively already? Creating a less stressful, healthier, and more satisfying plateau in life should be of interest to you. Clarifying confusion and getting to the root of their origins should also be part of your motivation here. However, meeting someone else's mind along the way, a savvy guide, can be quite useful at times.

It takes courage to shine a light on what isn’t working in your life, and even more so to take steps to change that. To make matters worse, you may be feeling like no one understands or that you *should* be able to deal with it on your own, which inevitably gets in the way of reaching out. Indeed, that first step is always the hardest, but you don't have to do it alone. My commitment to you is to hold a safe and affirming space where you can process the painful and difficult parts of your life, and to always be in your corner. I would be honored to walk this path of exploration, healing, and growth with you.

After years of working in psychiatry, often in close conjunction with medical providers and clinicians in inpatient and correctional settings, I sought to establish private practice as a new avenue for people ready for change. Anyone who has gone through the trouble to seek out this profile has felt within them the desire to forge a new path in their future - whether that involves minor changes to feel more fulfilled or major changes to more dramatically alter their life trajectory. I admire the courage it takes for anyone to seek mental health care, and I seek to embrace that courage with a warm, welcoming, and accepting space in which we explore the ways patients can achieve their goals.

As the wellness industry expands rapidly, the role of trained mental health professionals is increasingly critical. However, while access to therapeutic spaces is increasing, the amount of thoughtful, skilled mental health care providers in those spaces is not similarly increasing. The purpose of my practice is to enable patients to reach beyond superficial changes that provide temporary relief, and to start exploring the core conflicts we struggle with as individuals. I firmly believe that with patience and commitment to this exploration, patients will find lasting improvement in their quality of life and emotional fulfillment.

I am passionate about working with people who are interested in exploring life’s questions, experiences, and paradoxes, who desire to examine and release feelings of shame while cultivating more vulnerability, compassion, and embodiment.

My approach to working with clients is rooted in a strengths-based, trauma-informed, intersectional, sex-positive, and client-centered perspective- always considering the person’s experience in the context of the greater world we live in. I take an engaging, collaborative, non-judgmental, and curious approach to therapy, weaving in moments of humor, mindfulness, and reflection. I have a deep respect for the process of therapy and the clients who trust in me their most personal stories, fears, and hopes. I believe in the inherent resiliency and wisdom of each client and will work with you to increase your sense of empowerment and personhood.

Are you feeling stuck, totally sure something needs to change/shift but, unsure how to start? Are you worried about being judged for where you are and where you have been? Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you ready to find some resolve, peace and new excitement by tapping into yourself within the story of you? Sometimes, life moves in a direction we aren't wanting and before we know it we are lost at sea and seeking safe harbor to heal.

I know this place inside and out, I am here when you are ready to begin rewriting your story and living in the present you live/write the remainder from this day forward. No person's journey looks the same and when you hire me to be your guide - I will work alongside you to ensure you have the support, clinical guidance and assurance that it takes to pave the path of confidence.

When you are ready, reach out and we will schedule a time to get to know one another. You aren't alone, I am ready to walk the path with you and hold the flashlight when it feels dark.
