College years are the quint essential "work hard, play hard" years. It's a time of finding the right balance and learning how to tap into your inner strength and wisdom to get through the hard stuff so you can enjoy the good stuff. Sometimes we need a little help with that. Together we can explore what you want this period of your life to look like, how to get there, and what to do about the obstacles that are getting in your way. I offer a safe, collaborative, judgement free environment fo...
As you embark on this important phase of life, it can be quite overwhelming. Although it can be exciting to have new freedoms, it can also feel lonely and disorienting. I believe that this stage of life is such an opportunity to begin to discover who you and what you value. I would love to walk with you as you process past hurts, present difficulties and future fears. Whether you need to process family difficulties, sexuality and gender identity, anxiety or depression, as well as many other life...

At a pace that works best for you, I’ll help you find language to better understand and express your experiences, build practices to support you in processing and releasing distressing memories, discover where and how you feel your ...
I work with people who identify as: quirky/nerdy, highly-intelligent, introverted, highly-sensitive, or as having ADHD or Autism (or some combination of these). People with these traits often share something: a sense of outsider-ship, of not quite belonging. Sometimes that's just fine, but sometimes it hurts, and can lead to loneliness, shame, isolation, depressions, self-loathing--all that fun stuff. I, myself, have 3 or 4 of the above traits, AND was homeschooled on top of it, so my own...

MY APPROACH TO HELPING I help people who struggle with adult parent-child relationships. I help stop the vicious cycle of guilt, shame, and overly controlled behavior. My clients struggle as you do. My clients report a parent who ignored them literally. They tried everything they could to please the parent and get the parent to see them, but they never did. The feeling that they aren’t good enough is pervasive. Even in areas where they earn awards and respect, they worry that they will hear the...
I am a queer fat femme who practices at the intersections of oppression, grief, trauma and liberation. I believe healing and liberation are our birthright. And yes, that means I believe that you can heal from complex, developmental and intergenerational trauma. And yes, I believe I can help. But when I say I can help, what I really mean is: I understand that the deep wisdom of your body knows the exact right way to heal. My job as your therapist is to help you learn to connect with this deep som...

You have the weight of the world on your shoulders, and have for a very long time. As a child, you had to grow up quickly and take on adult roles, because you had a parent who wasn’t always able to be fully present. Overwhelming emotional pain weighs on you. And you’ve found that the emotional pain shows up as physical pain too - a literal heartache, muscle aches, or back pain. You’ve also lost your appetite or find yourself eating more than usual. You went through something horrific. And you th...
