Welcome, I'm proud of you for taking this step in caring for yourself. I work primarily with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, ADHD, life transitions, identity concerns, and the unique complexities of LGBTQIA2S+ identities. My approach to therapy is client-centered and trauma aware while also pulling from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Existential, and Intersectional Feminist philosophies. I invite people of all identities to engage in treatment and welcome conversations about how identity and culture influence our counseling work together.

Deciding to start therapy is a courageous way to change your life. Transitions in life are a natural point to lean into change. As a counselor, I guide you to make positive changes in a comfortable and safe space. I believe change happens when we are deeply connected to ourselves. Working with me will enable you to identify current triggers, implement healthy coping skills, and self-regulate moment by moment. We will work together to become your most whole self. I can help you increase your insight, navigate transitions, and to provide support for you to release patterns that are no longer serving you. My approach is warm, empathetic, respectful, and non-judgmental. I help clients work toward change through art, yoga, music and play.
I understand that choosing to see a specialist and starting or changing medications can be difficult and confusing. My goal as a provider is to work collaboratively with my patients to maximize the benefits of medications and leverage the potential of the therapeutic relationship to improve beyond "I'm doing okay." Medications and therapy should always support further engagement in our lives, improvement in our state of mind, insight, and acceptance of ourselves (warts & all). As a nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric treatment, I work with clients of all ages, including children and adolescents.
My approach is relational and intensive. I see therapy as a chance to connect with another human in a protected way that allows for greater openness and honesty. In the safety of the therapeutic relationship, I challenge my clients so we get beneath the surface to gain insight, find greater meaning, grounding, and deeper connection. I specialize in work with men, those experiencing divorce, life transitions, and relationship issues, and struggling with substance use.
My professional expertise extends to a variety of populations, however I have worked best with those experiencing life transitions, exploring personal identities, and chronic illness. I look forward to chatting with you and getting to know you better! I care for my clients and welcome you to reach out. If you determine we are not a good fit, no hard feelings, and if I am familiar with another therapist who might be I am happy to connect you. I look forward to walking along side you in this journey as you process and/or engage in change.
