I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. Clients often describe me as warm, genuine, and direct, and I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation: one where you feel heard, understood, gently challenged, and equipped with practical tools you can use in everyday life.

• Working Together:

Whether we're exploring unhelpful patterns, developing practical coping skills, strengthening self-compassion, or helping you take meaningful steps toward the life you want to build, my goal remains the same: to provide thoughtful, personalized care that helps you carry what we do in therapy into your everyday life.

• Who I Work With:

  I work with adults (18+) who are looking for meaningful change, greater self-understanding, or support through life's challenges.

• My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and welcoming of clients in polyamorous, kink/BDSM, and other nontraditional relationship communities.

• We'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck and identify a path forward that feels authentic to you. For example therapy with me may be helpful if you are struggling with:

  • Anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism or worry.

  • Depression, low energy, withdrawing from others or shame

  • Grief, sadness, difficulty adjusting to change.

  • Chronic illness, loneliness, frustration, caregiver stress.

  • Challenging relationship patterns, boundary issues, communication difficulties.

• More About Me:

I've dedicated my career to mental health since 2008, serving individuals across a variety of settings and stages of life. My experience includes community mental health, mental health policy advocacy, medical social work with older adults, and outpatient psychotherapy. These diverse roles have shaped my belief that every person's story is unique and deserves to be met with curiosity, compassion, and respect.

Because every person brings a unique story, strengths, and experiences to therapy, I take an integrative approach rather than relying on a single treatment model. I thoughtfully draw from evidence-based approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)—to tailor treatment to your individual needs and goals.
