I'm passionate about joining people on their journey. I'm trauma informed & recognize the need for wholistic understanding in the relationship between mind & body. The process of embracing one’s story can be liberating. I'm passionate about joining with people to better understand how their stories have been shaped by their experiences. I seek to increase the expressive narratives in order to allow people to more holistically and diversely understand the complexities of humanity & show up as their authentic self. I am committed to providing supportive, nonjudgmental space to allow one to journey in painful places & embrace delight.

Have you had a recent change in your life and want a safe person to talk with to better understand yourself? Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to your life. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, & deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (job loss, divorce, etc) or one you wanted to be on but it’s more stressful or different than what you thought (attending college or a new job). If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are capable of change.

I see individuals and couples. One of my strengths as a therapist is working respectfully with men who would rather not be in therapy. I understand why many men are skeptical about therapy, or uncomfortable talking about feelings, and I do not get judgmental or impatient about this. Men who are concerned that in couple therapy they might be ganged up on and blamed will find that I don't this, to them or their partner. And of course, I also enjoy working with women, and with men who are comfortable with therapy!

I provide individual therapy to adolescents and adults. My approach centers building connections, offering compassion and staying curious about who you are in the past, present and future; helping you become the author to your own story. I want you to feel seen and heard throughout our time working together. Although I welcome working with a range of client concerns, my areas of special focus include navigating disordered eating, eating disorders, body image, shame and perfectionism, identity exploration and anxiety management.

I believe the most important benefits of therapy are relief from painful feelings, a deeper self understanding, and confidence to pursue positive change and growth. Whether you are looking to gain insight into life-long patterns or simply need help with a current specific issue, my goal is to help you gain a deeper sense of peace and satisfaction with your life.

If you are looking for a therapist who is accessible, present, fearless, and authentic, then we might just be a match. I love clients who are therapy veterans and know what they want (or what they don't). I also love to help clients who are new to therapy, and feel a little nervous, to feel secure and supported. Whether you have a trauma history that you need someone grounded to help you address, or just are feeling overwhelmed, if you are wanting to collaborate on making your world better, I am here for it. I bring a lifetime of experiences (and a fondness for metaphors) to the therapy room for us to draw on. I am Gottman trained.

Research has shown having purpose and meaning in life increases overall wellbeing and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, enhances resiliency and self-esteem, and decreases the chances of depression.

Are you going through a tough transition, dealing with loss, or trying to understand your identity? I've faced these same challenges, as an Army Brat who moved schools frequently, and as a first-generation college graduate. I bring this perspective into my practice with children and their families. I emphasize authenticity and self-esteem, using approaches like experiential play therapy and EMDR. But my main focus is creating a comfortable, relatable therapeutic space. When I'm not working, I enjoy time with my pets, gaming, anime, and kayak fishing.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families, from adolescence to adulthood. I am passionate about understanding the unique neurological and sensory processes of neurodivergent individuals and the intersectionality of operating in a society that wasn’t built for us.
