Meaningful relationships are an essential part of fulfillment and happiness. I believe in the unique power of the relationship that develops between therapist and client. Through an exploration of this interaction, we can more wholly understand your past and current relationships and help shape future experiences. I work with people who are struggling in a variety of ways and are ready to dig in and do some difficult and deeply powerful work that will lead to greater choice and freedom.

We all deserve to experience self-fulfillment and connection in our relationships and within ourselves, and I work with my clients to achieve these goals. My interests include developmental concerns, relationship conflict, gender and sexuality, depression, anxiety, and group therapy. I have specialized in men's issues and work with many men in my practice addressing issues related to masculinity, anger and aggression, sex and sexuality, and lack of satisfaction in relationships.

Life can be challenging, and everyone has times when they feel overwhelmed and need some support. In my work, I provide a caring, nonjudgmental environment for adolescents, adults, and their families to speak openly about their lives and to explore their true selves. Therapy is meant to be collaborative, so picture me as a trusted guide walking beside you as you face what comes next.

As a queer and genderfluid human, I recognize that people hold multiple complex identities. Understanding these intersecting parts starts with respect. As an avid gamer and Lego builder, I enjoy finding creative and occasionally humorous ways forward.

My approach is primarily rooted in Adlerian psychology and ACT; and I specialize in working with young people, people with anxiety, and folks in the LGBTQ+ community.

Humans are social creatures, which leads us to be affected by relationships in profound ways. However, relationships are highly complex, and can, at times, be difficult to decipher, form, and maintain. My work with clients has been centered around the development of stronger and healthier relationships, and that work begins with creating and managing powerful bonds between therapist and client.

I practice primarily using psychodynamic principles integrated with techniques from various other disciplines, including ACT, humanism, and existentialism. My areas of clinical interest include identity development, relationships and sexuality, depression and anxiety, and phase of life concerns.

We often come to therapy because something in our life has emerged in a way we find challenging to navigate on our own. I approach our work together with this in mind, and as an honored participant in your journey towards change, growth, and deepened insight. I strive to see you through the lens of your unique life experiences and to work collaboratively so we can effectively address your concerns.

My areas of interest and specialization include working with anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, grief, family of origin concerns, disordered eating, trauma, and low self-esteem.I am committed to providing informed, safe, and equitable therapy to people of all races, gender, sexual orientation, ability, religion, and country of origin.

I believe we heal and thrive when we nurture healthy intrinsic (fundamental to who we are) connection to ourselves and others. This work creates a safety net allowing us to build self-esteem and adapt without losing our personal power. Pursuing the arts with a former career as a performer, choreographer, and artistic director, I strongly relate to "fitting-in while trying to stand-out".

As a creative, I approach therapy exploratively and collaboratively. I use narrative therapy, CBT, DBT, systems theory, drama therapy, yoga/movement, and artistic expression.

I am inspired to work on Creativity Block, Self-Worth, Intergenerational Trauma, PMDD, Adolescent Self-Esteem, Anxiety, and Depression. Embarking on the therapeutic journey can be hard so I love to create space to slow down and encourage ease while showing compassion. If you think we might be a good fit, let’s talk.

If you're looking for a therapist who approaches therapy from both a practical and emotional lens, we may be a good fit! I want to help you achieve your goals and offer a space to express and make sense of your experiences. I have vast experience working with the neurodivergent population, and enjoy assisting those with ADHD and Autism as they navigate relationships, life responsibilities, and transitions. I am queer-allied and body-neutral.

I am a creative and enjoy working with those who are experiencing related challenges such as imposter syndrome, writer's block, or performance anxiety. I also have experience working with those who experience chronic pain/ illness, and approach these topics in an affirming and supportive manner.

My therapy practice is deeply rooted in honoring diverse identities and providing multi-culturally congruent care. I view our work together as a collaborative partnership that celebrates your authentic self throughout the process. I am curious about how each person’s identities—whether related to race, gender, sexuality, or neurodiversity—inform their experiences and their relationship to mental health care. I believe that everyone brings unique strengths to their healing journey!

My work integrates somatic practices to deepen the understanding of the mind-body connection, and I utilize Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support your growth. Additionally, I use a trauma-informed approach to co-create safety and autonomy, fostering trust in yourself and our therapeutic relationship.

Making the changes you want to see in your life begins with the relationship you have with yourself. Together, we will strengthen that relationship, helping you trust yourself with compassion and ease. My primary goal is to create a present and focused space where you will feel heard and understood. By incorporating your strengths, interests, and values I will uniquely tailor treatment for you drawing from a variety of styles as I get to know you.

I work from a culturally humble, trauma-informed lens to promote healing and wellness, and navigate your personal story. Also, I enjoy incorporating the neuroscience behind different patterns of behavior. Our work together will likely include holistic practices outside of the office, as I believe that feeling good embodies the mind, body, and spirit.
