​​I pursued my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy over other mental health fields because I believe healthy relationships are a cornerstone of a well-lived life! Evidence shows that relationship health is closely tied to overall mental and physical health outcomes across a lifetime. I strive to provide relational medicine, to help you reconnect in your relationships and experience the far-reaching benefits of emotional intimacy.

Gender and sexuality are deeply personal. The trick is, gender and sexuality are also deeply relational! Like you, I live in this double-edged complexity! Whether you've been out and proud for the majority of your life, or you just are working up the courage to consider if queerness is something you'd like to explore, I believe therapy can help you ground into your authenticity and create space for finding joy and connection.

We are all complicated, multi-faceted people! We naturally lean into different parts of ourselves as needed. Who you are as a coworker is different from who you are as a partner. This is an awesome, adaptive thing, but it gets us into trouble when more reactive parts are built to grab the steering wheel in stressful situations to keep us safe! I help folks to understand and build relationships with these reactive parts of us, so our adult selves can stay in the drivers' seat in tough times.

Scientific evidence shows that not having our needs responded to consistently and kindly throughout the first few years of our brain's development can have a long-lasting impact on how we respond to our own needs and the needs of others. Few of us make it through these years without a few neuroses, as the first few years of a child’s life are often the toughest years for their parents’ relationship! My therapy helps folks identify and heal these wounds, to move toward relational security.

As a late-diagnosed AuDHD business owner in a relationship with a neurotypical spouse, I have both personal and professional experience in supporting folks with neurodivergence. Whether you're looking for practical help understanding and working through task paralysis to accomplish a specific goal, or seeking long-term support in understanding and healing the trauma of growing up in a neurotypical-focused world, I absolutely love working with my neurodivergent community!

Neurodivergence is incredibly complex– this difference in our brains impacts the way we relate to others, the way we think, and the way we heal. If you struggle with burnout, executive function, rejection sensitivity, or the anxiety and depression of feeling wrong, therapy can help. We can learn to work with our brains, caring for and supporting our complex needs, in order to access the profound joy and strengths that neurodiversity brings. I love supporting my neurodivergent community!
