My philosophy is that every person is capable of living a fulfilling life, and of creating and meeting their goals. Every person is unique and different and has a place in our world, and in therapy we can work together to support your trajectory, or help you find it and get there.  Psychotherapy can help people to strengthen their relationships with themselves and others, develop natural strengths, increase compassion, and shift responses to stress and challenge.

​

Living and moving through the world can be full of ups and downs. One part of life can feel and seem great, while others are harder or feel like a complete mess. Or everything is moving along but something still doesn't quite feel right. Sometimes, factors such as health, troubling events, history of trauma, oppression, environment, inequity, life transitions, stresses, and losses can create barriers that make both large and small situations more difficult. You might struggle to set limits, hesitate to assert your wants and needs, or question whether you know what you want in the first place. With attention and curiosity, emotional, relationship, situational, and environmental influences can be navigated as you connect to yourself and others, and explore and access outlets for stability, creativity, intimacy, fun (when and if you want any of that) and everything in between.

​

Specific experiences that I can help with include exploring and supporting sexuality/relationship/gender/sub-culture expression and diversity, relationships, depression and anxiety, empowerment, resolving trauma, navigating systems, self-worth, and organization.

​

I welcome folks from a broad range of backgrounds and lived experiences, and strive to acknowledge and create space for your multiple identities and experiences around around race, ethnicity, religion, spirituality, socio-economic status, ability, size, culture, immigration experience, alternative cultures, sexuality, gender, age, politics, and other identities and outlets for expression. You are an expert in your own experience and I welcome you to bring your own styles and rituals as we collaborate on you getting where you want to go in your life and in your healing.
