All the "why" questions are flying through your head and the constant noise is driving you nuts. You want things to make sense. You want to feel like yourself again. Most of all, you want to go back in time to the thing that changed your body and do everything in your power to prevent in from happening. The problem is, no on...

Do you ever feel like you are reliving the same script but with a different cast?

I enjoy working with clients to recognize these patterns and collaborate towards striking a balance between empathy and boundaries. As a counselor, I aim to be with you in that discomfort and offer guidance in the process of letting go....

What is outpatient counseling? Our mental health is important in every stage of life, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. It affects how we think, feel, act, handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Major life events, traumatic experiences, and even stress can significantly impact our ability to successfully function at seemingly easy daily tasks. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, then outpatient counseling may be for you. Outpatient counseling can help children, adults...
I welcome the individual that is curious to understand the myriad of feelings, patterns and issues in one's life. I create space to be known and understand the self. Young adulthood is a time of discovery, to figure out how you want to be. Old defenses and coping skills may not be working as well. My professional interests are broad when it comes to the human condition including grief and loss, relationships and transitions. I work through a relational psychodynamic strength-based attachmen...

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 p...

I have a set of tools that can help you live a fuller life, one with more depth and vitality. Many people I work with have been in therapy before and learned cognitive or mindfulness skills that, while helpful, don't seem to go deep enough. Maybe this is true for you, too--in spite of all your best efforts, you still feel anxious and depressed, struggle with obsessive thoughts, or feel stuck in old patterns. I can help you get to the root of your problems instead of just looking at the surfa...
