About My Clients

You portray a face to the world that everything is fine, and you keep pressing on. But beneath that facade, you aren't sure how much longer you can keep going. You know you need help, and maybe you've tried the therapy thing before. Trying again is really hard. It's ok to give yourself another chance. It's ok to afford yourself the same amount of grace you give to others. It's time for you to become your priority for a change. You are worth it.

My Background and Approach

Firstly, I want to know what your goals are and what you are wanting to achieve from our time together. This space is about you and what you need. Often it is helpful to start with what you are struggling with in the present so that each day does not feel so hard. Using aspects from CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness will give you tools to manage daily stress and start to feel more like yourself. And when you're ready, we can use EMDR and inner child trauma work to uncover core issues that may be contributing to your current problems on a deeper level.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I grew up in a religious and pious community. As I've gotten older, part of my journey has involved deconstructing those traditions, unlearning biases, and listening a lot more than talking. The world is so much more wonderful when our differences are viewed through a lens of wonder and curiosity, instead of judgment and shame.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
