I support folks who have stressful lives, want to improve their communication, maybe even endured individual traumas and want positive change. I believe that the client – therapist relationship "The Right Fit" is the single most important factor for successful treatment. It is my goal to provide a safe space that is non-judgmental, attuned to your needs, engaging and genuinely empathetic. This allows for a trusting and collaborative partnership to explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns. M...
Counseling is your chance to talk to a Therapist about YOU, your life, your wants, needs, feelings, and relationships. This is your opportunity to be seen and heard and to get the support you need to feel better. Counseling can treat many many things from small concerns to major ones. You do not have to have a ‘mental illness’ to seek therapy and counseling support. You can be a well functioning individual who wants to make changes or improve your self awareness. We are telehealth based practic...

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for folks to explore their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, everything, and/or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about the different parts of yourself without judgment or pressure.

I like to think of therapy as a journey of inner exploration and I am along as a guide. I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a combination of intellectual understanding and emotional experience. In that regard, it feels like your feelings are our road signs that we are in the right track to self-growth. I try to not have a specific agenda going into sessions, but rather to go where it is you feel like you need to go at that time. I believe that it is my role to create a safe space...

Now Accepting New Clients! You crave conversations about the universe, meaning, and purpose. You feel most alive and at peace while creating. Discussing the weather kills your soul a bit.

You also secretly wish that iced coffee you get every morning is just going to magically solve all your problems...I get it. Young adulthood, while exciting, can be kind of a m...

You have the weight of the world on your shoulders, and have for a very long time.

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...
