My approach addresses the root cause of mental and emotional suffering through greater insight and self-awareness.

I work collaboratively with those who are deeply curious about themselves and motivated to make deep, lasting change. My practice is LGBTQ-affirming and my specialties include depression, trauma, emotional neglect, and grief. I work with people who have endured all kinds of traumas and a wide range of life challenges. I am skilled in supporting teens and adults in all life stages who value living the examined life. Clients who seek me out are tired of repeating patterns and are ready for something new to emerge for themselves and their relationships. My goal is to support your increased awareness of the ways you see and understand yourself and the world. Increased awareness and insight can bring a greater sense of agency, empowerment, and movement into your life. The therapy process takes time. We will work to understand who you are, what you’ve been through, and your deepest aspirations for life.
