Main topics we can explore:

  • There are few spaces where we get to explore our experiences, hopes, and fears around sex.

    One of my main goals in becoming a therapist was to make space for people to talk about their sexual experiences and intimacy in the way I couldn’t growing up. Doing this for my clients is a huge priority in my work as a therapist now.

    We also have deep struggles with dating - we don’t know what we’re doing, there are so many ways we can get hurt; it’s such a vulnerable process! I hope to create a space to help you vent about this and also grow as you go through this difficult part of life.

  • We all crave a deeper connection with our loved ones. Often times it seems our differences get in the way of getting closer to one another. I hope to create a brave space for you to build a deeper connection with your loved ones together (inside or outside of the therapy space).

    I deeply believe in the importance of community and interdependence, so please bring anyone into session you would like to work together with. I’m happy to do work with couples, polycules, family, and friendships.

    Here’s more info to learn more about my couples/polycule approach!

  • Who am I? What do I value? I love exploring our experiences as unique humans navigating a cisheteronormative, patriarchal, racist, and ableist world. Living outside of the box means that we get to be creative about using our strengths to make meaning in life.

  • Anxiety, trauma, and perfectionism are three (sometimes intertwined) experiences that leave us feeling stuck and confused around how to change our lives. I enjoy building internal resources that can help you to brave things in life to move beyond these experience.

    Together we can explore ways to navigate worries about the future and wishes to be better. While it is difficult, healing from our past pain can help us decrease negative perceptions of ourselves and grow our experiences of empowerment.

    I love using EMDR (eye movement desensitization & reprocessing) and parts work to build mental resources and positive experiences of healing our anxiety and trauma.

  • Life is unpredictable! One second you feel things are stable, and the next you’re trying to balance your job, relationships, everyday responsibilities, and new opportunities at the same time.

    Together, we can explore moving through a new situation that you feel stuck in. I use a strengths-based approach to explore ways we can grow through hardship.

I work especially well with:

  • I’ve been working with teens since the beginning of my career as a therapist.

    I love being a part of identity development, learning emotional processing skills, and navigating early adulthood.

    There is no manual for how to grow up, but together we can create a guide book of our own.

  • I know what it’s like to overthink, panic, and feel stuck when we’re not meeting our own expectations. Feeling is overwhelming and sometimes it’s much easier to stay in our head.

    I love making space to face our fears and bravely challenge the unconscious expectations we hold for ourselves. Together we can be imperfectly human.

  • It can be so lonely and draining helping others. I often find that those who love helping have the hardest time helping themselves.

    Together we can make space to process your experiences as a helper and also prioritize your wants/needs.

  • Love is one of my favorite experiences (personally, and to see professionally). I enjoy working with relationship structures who want to move towards building a strong future together.

    Healing is relational and sometimes this is the best way for people to work through attachment trauma and other forms of negative life experiences. I hope to be able to work with you to build a strong structure of support within your relationships (and your community overall).

**If I haven’t listed a specialty here that fits your needs, it doesn’t mean I don’t work with those presenting concerns or issues; this is just a short list of what I focus on!

I love working with people who are:

Loving Humans

You feel so much love for your friends, family, animals, and those around you; However, you may not be able to give yourself the same care that you give to others. You may have high expectations for yourself that make life difficult. You crave connection and have experienced some bumps in the road to developing that closeness. This may be due to anxiety, insecurities, impacts of neurodivergence or other experiences of feeling "not normal."

I know what it's like to have so much love to give and not know how to give it to yourself or not know how to connect with your community authentically.

You are longing to be your authentic self in relationships and don't want to hide who you are/put your needs on the back-burner. You are also wanting to communicate your feelings, set boundaries when you need to, and deepen your connections within your community.

Curious Cuties

Do you ask yourself "why?" in every day experiences? Do you love reading about psychology or picking up new self-help tips?

You are probably an intellectualizer who loves learning more about yourself to understand your life experiences. You may also be on a continual search for tools to feel better in coping with situations that arise in your life.

The knowledge you gain as you explore can make you more self-aware and feel more control in being able to operate in an unpredictable world. Because you are good at being in your head, maybe you miss the opportunities to experience life through feeling your emotions or physical experiences. Maybe you also get stuck in analysis paralysis, needing to learn more about yourself before taking next steps.

Creative Dreamers

You are interested in reimagining your life in new ways. Life as it is boxes you in and makes you experience life pressures as inescapable. You may be willing to imagine your feelings as characters, colors, shapes in your body, or whatever feels right to you. You enjoy drawing, video games, music, TV, fashion, or film because it brings new insight or ways to express feelings you otherwise couldn't. You are willing to use your imagination to see things differently. Together, we can write letters we never send to people we need to gain closure with or be brave enough to dream about positive futures you can live in.

Silly geese

You were born to be a silly goose but stuck in a society of capitalism, racism, imperialism, patriarchy, it's hard to experience joy. They make their own joy through creative jokes, laughing about experiences, and using their silliness as a super power to regulate in difficult moments.
