I help all kinds of people understand themselves more fully and make fundamental changes to their way of being and relating to others. As an artist myself, I have an affinity for working with artists, creatives, and even other therapists. If you're looking for a therapist who can be with you all the way, then I might be the one for you. I'm trauma informed and incorporate the biology of human arousal, attachment theory, and neuroscience. I'm experienced with ADD/ADHD, ASD, BPD, PTSD, OCD, various world-views/religions, LGBTQIA+, and poly and open relationships, to name a few. I also love working with couples. My approach is experiential, where you’ll learn it AND do it, not just talk about it. You’ll learn about yourselves and the dynamics between you, and how to be secure functioning. My hope is that you show up to sessions as you are. Sure, there can be anxiety and challenging emotions, but it can be fun and feel good, too. I hope our work will leave you with greater insight into your journey of life-long development, and in the case of couples, in your ability to be secure functioning partners. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

I believe that every person holds the power and resources necessary to find happiness. As a trans woman I understand both the external and the internal forces that create self-doubt and spike fear—the loneliness, the separateness, and the tailspin of uncertainty. I know, too, from professional and personal experience that self-acceptance and happiness are within everyone. Science upholds this belief, telling us that those who seek help benefit from it. For me this is not a theory, but the product of experience. I favor mindful-based approaches, but I also have practice experience with cognitive behavioral therapy and other evidenced-based methods. I work well with people challenged not only by anxiety, depression, trauma (PTSD), but also with those in challenging relationships, gender issues, especially those from LGBTQ and military veteran populations. I welcome all those who seek an empathic, supportive, and nonjudgmental collaborator to a better, more fulfilling and satisfying life.

I consider myself a realistic and eclectic therapist, using a variety of therapeutic methods, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy. My ideal client is motivated, open-minded, ready to address difficult topics, prepared to take actions steps, and ready to create new habits. I strive to learn what is most important in your life to help plan your goals for therapy while also being compassionately direct. I look forward to working with you!
