Psychologist, Psy.D.Who are you? You may be over worked, in a point of transition in your life, or stuck in a rut. Over the years, I have grown to find that I work with people first, and no two person is exactly alike.

You’re a strong woman, but lately you haven’t felt like it. You've been trying to get back on course, back to a life that isn't constantly filled with stress and worry, but nothing seems to be working. You find yourself saying and doing things you wouldn't normally do, which only makes you feel worse. You can continue living with fear and anxiety, or you can do something about it. You're ready to move beyond a life consumed by anxiety, and you are prepared to make big changes.

The to-do list is never-ending and what’s done never feels quite enough. You are diligent about keeping on top of things and it’s gotten you pretty far. But, you find yourself asking “I’m running myself ragged for this?” Well, you are not alone. My clients are busy, professionals who feel stressed, anxious, and struggle with imposter syndrome. They seem put together on the outside but struggle with burnout and feeling like they are one step away from catastrophe.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.
The majority of my professional career has been focused on BIPOC individuals, people on the LGBTQIA2+ spectrum, young people who were considered “at-risk” of high school drop-out, professionals, artists, and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and preteens.
My ideal client is between 18 and 65. If you are looking to learn strategies to better manage your depression, anxiety, mood disorder or are struggling to find a healthy work life balance I am your guy. I utilize Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral therapies to provide skills for individuals to better manage their mental health symptoms. I am also a big believer in mindfulness and do guided meditations in session to help treat anxiety and Depression as well.

I work with couples and individuals to overcome life's challenges including people of all cultural and religious backgrounds. I especially enjoy working with individuals to overcome religious and spiritual trauma, childhood and family trauma, and cultural adjustment issues.
I provide trauma-focused individual, family, and group therapy for adults. Typical concerns of the people I work with include managing the effects of traumatic experiences, relationship issues, intense emotions, and grief. Areas of special focus include supporting survivors of sexual violence and adults healing from the effects of child abuse and relational trauma in their families of origin including sexual abuse, incest, neglect, and intimate partner violence.
I create space for clients to explore sexuality, gender, relationships and life transitions. I am kink and ethical nonmonogamy informed. Some of my clients are working on issues related to their identity, desire, or relationships. Other clients are looking for a space where they can work on anxiety, depression, or stress in a safe, informed and welcoming environment.
The one thing all my clients have in common is the courage and desire to live differently. Most everyone has found that survival strategies that were once necessary and even helpful, no longer work in the ways they used to and, in some instances rather than being helpful, they have become counterproductive. My clients, ages 18-80, want to understand the origins of old survival strategies, strengthen them where they remain useful, and replace them where necessary.
Becoming a parent can be a landmine. What is often billed as simple, linear, and seamless can be filled with complicated emotions, experiences, and a sense of overwhelm. I work with people on all points of the birthing path- whether you are just thinking about having a child, trying to conceive, are pregnant or postpartum . This includes people struggling with infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and birth trauma, as well as partners and birth workers.

Are you full of anxiety but hiding it pretty well? Women I work with are often struggling with people pleasing and perfectionism. You might be dealing with a toxic workplace or toxic relationship and feel like you're about to lose it. You may be questioning the direction life is headed but have sleep problems, upsetting thoughts and feel exhausted a lot. You may notice yourself misusing substances or caretaking others or working too much. You can get help now and make changes.
Are you always a little bit afraid that an anxiety attack is waiting around the corner? Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count? I know exactly what you're feeling: the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in and you need out NOW. Attacks can be terrifying, and I don't want you to have to suffer them anymore. Holistic practices can reduce anxiety tremendously, and I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back.
As a queer person, my work is rooted in anti-racism and social justice with an intersectional feminist lens. This enables me to embrace kink-positivity, CNM/polyam relationships, and sex work. I cater to those wrestling with fat and body positivity. I also look to support caregivers and mental health workers coping with burnout.
I'm currently working with clients of all ages and identities within my affirming practice. My areas of special interest include LGBTQIA+ clients, pregnancy and postpartum, trauma and loss, gender identity and transition, sex and kink, blended families, disability, neurodivergence, and somatic experiencing. I am also available for case management, advocacy, and solution-focused consulting.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or misunderstood? If so, I would love to offer you a comfortable (virtual) space in which to get support. I enjoy working with people who are exploring neurodivergence (particularly autism and ADHD), gender identity, sexual orientation, or body image. I also connect well with people who are experiencing major life changes, chronic health conditions, or who are struggling with relationships and boundaries.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, anger issues, grief, or general discontent and frustration, I am here to provide a warm and calm therapeutic environment to not only discuss but to overcome whatever may be affecting you.
Most of my clients suffer from anxiety and depression due to psychosocial and environmental elements that feel "out of control". Feelings of being stuck in unhealthy cycles that cause challenges in relationships, social settings, and personal growth. People live in fear of the unknown and what change will produce in an already chaotic existence. Change is good! Stepping outside of your comfort zone and feeling uncomfortable brings potential to a better you. Let me guide you through this journey.
My clients, who often come to me lonely, misunderstood, stuck, or feeling not themselves, often feel heard, validated, and connected after working with me. I specialize in maternal mental health, infertility, pregnancy loss, and perinatal mood disorders including postpartum depression and anxiety. I also work with new parents in adjusting to parenthood. I am here to guide and support you towards reestablishing hope and achieving optimal wellness.
It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition. I am excited to offer you a space to heal, learn and feel you are not alone.
