I support individuals who are navigating the impact of past trauma. I also work with clients who are exploring their identities—whether related to gender, sexuality, relationship styles, or other aspects of self. Additionally, I support neurodivergent individuals in understanding their needs and discovering ways to engage with the world that feel authentic and sustainable. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or unhealthy behaviors that are affecting your daily life, I'm here to help.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

If you identify as an empath, a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), a Highly Intuitive Person (HIP), or curious about connecting to a holistic approach. I understand the unique challenges you face. I'm here to offer a safe space for you to explore anxiety & depression, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and embrace your gifts.
If you struggle with the weight of all the suffering in the world and the unknowns create feelings of hopelessness, fear, and loneliness then you are not alone. I meet many people who feel the same. It can be overwhelming to the point of feeling totally stuck and this can manifest in many different ways; sometimes as depression, anxiety, anger, and more. You have been coping the best you can and if you feel talking to someone who can teach coping skills can help, then I look forward to talking.
I enjoy working with clients who desire to improve their important relationships. Whether they are work, romantic, family relationships or friendships, our relational patterns are largely consistent. While self-help books, podcasts, and trainings often provide great advice on new behaviors one can adopt to improve relationships, they often fail to get to the personalized reasons relationships are difficult in the first place. This is where I can help!
I work with couples and individuals of all sexual, gender, and racial orientations. I support clients in breaking old habits, defeating false perceptions, and developing new, positive ways of living. Therapy is individualized, but typically leads to becoming more authentic with others, and accessing and manifesting the power of one's true nature. In doing so, clients can skillfully access their potential, reconnect with their creativity, and navigate any challenges or transitions life presents.
