I also have extensive experience working with individuals and their families that identify as LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent.

You are constantly on the go, juggling two or three things at the same time including the help you offer others because you can’t stop yourself. What will others say to your “No’s, what would they think of you? You fear their judgment. Sometimes, you just want to be left alone. You sometimes snap at people you love and then feel guilty. You don’t enjoy life like you used to. Where is the motivation you had before? I will help you feel more confident and have healthier relationships.
Do you get caught in repetitive unhealthy cycles? Anxious thought loops or the same relationship mistakes over and over? Our fast-paced culture can be challenging for personal growth, but together we can collaborate to find tools that work for you.

I know what it's like when your mind constantly wanders, except for those times when you get intensely focused on the wrong things, making it hard to pull away. The anxiety of everything you need to do looms over you. At home, everyone expects you to organize their lives while you struggle to organize your own. You feel frustrated for not meeting their expectations and can't comprehend why you can't accomplish things you know you should be able to do. Life feels chaotic and out of control.
Does your mind jump from one worry to the next? Are you struggling to stay present because you're caught in cycles of anxious rumination? Maybe you doubt every decision you make. You may feel like you're struggling to manage your emotions, like it's hard to bounce back when something goes wrong, and it's causing you to feel bad about yourself. I get it! My goal is to help you break free from cycles of anxiety and doubt, and to build self- trust.

Sexuality & pleasure are often stigmatized, this plays into how we feel about ourselves, our bodies and in relation to others. I specialize in sex, and relationship issues with couples/partners towards undoing harmful stories which harm us and create shame. I work from a trauma informed lens to undo and empower. I work with clients to signifcantly reduce distress and undo longer standing concerns.
Are you struggling with feeling inferior; feeling superior; needing to be perfect; feeling you're a burden; or people pleasing? When we grow up in difficult circumstances, we come up with these beliefs/ways of being as a way to help us feel a little more safe. As difficult as it is to hold these beliefs about ourselves, they somehow help us feel better. As we grow up, they create difficulties in our adult relationships.
I offer support for those who feel like they're carrying the weight of the world-maybe it's a past trauma, anxiety, or strained relationships. You could be wrestling with vulnerability, exploring identity in LGBTQ+ spaces, a couple striving for deeper connection, a creative looking to unleash your potential, or an expat navigating the challenges of living abroad.

With training in cultural competency, I aim to create a safe and brave space, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings freely. Together, we can empower you to reach your full potential and live your best life!

What does "balance" & "wellness" look like, feel like & mean to you? Our own version of "balance" fluctuates over time & I aim to normalize that! At times we may need guidance in redefining "balance"/"wellness" as we work on relationships, experience life transitions, process intergenerational trauma, work on radically accepting recurring patterns, navigate anxiety, embrace adolescence/adulthood, etc. My ultimate goal is to nonjudgmentally support your needs throughout this process.
Want to be heard and understood? Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, gay/lesbian/bisexual issues, addictions (substances or behaviors including sex addiction), or infidelities? Having difficulty finding a relationship, or leaving one? Want to stay together, but your marriage is rocky? Communication problems or behavior problems disrupting your relationship? Held back by old patterns? Does it feel like life is "too much" sometimes? These are just some of the reasons why people see me.
People seek therapy for so many reasons, but mostly we all want to feel loved, safe & understood. We want to feel a sense purpose & feel good enough as we are & yet so many of us struggle to feel these ways. Sometimes our lives look very different than we imagined & we need help making sense out of things. We might be feeling disconnected or numb, uncertain or alone. We might be questioning who we are or the direction we are heading & need to find some clarity, perspective or hope.
Are you feeling sad more often than usual? Feeling stress or anxious due to work, family, or school demands? Need someone to talk to about a traumatic event or losing a loved one? If any of the things listed above relates to you, then psychotherapy may help. I admire you for being brave and looking into psychotherapy so give yourself a pat on the back.
I work with clients to help them better navigate their experiences so that they can feel more authentic and aligned as they move through the world. Societal and cultural pressures affect each of us differently. I practice in a way that acknowledges the impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma on individuals and communities. I know that when you walk into the room, you bring with you experiences I've never had and I believe that you are the expert on your own lived experience.

I am kink-friendly and informed, and also enjoy working with ethically non monogamous individuals.
