About

I'm glad you're here. Confronting patterns that suppress your true values, needs, and desires in demanding systems and relationships is incredibly difficult. It is also the bravest and most commitment you can make to yourself. You may be here because of self doubt, identity confusion, people-pleasing, family conflict, perfectionism, body image issues, or burnout. My role as a therapist is creating a safe environment to hear you, see you, and empower you to live authentically. The therapeutic relationship needs to be strong for you to take risks and be nurtured with understanding, compassion, humor, and honesty.

Through examining relationship patterns, attachment styles, and nuances of culture/identity/oppression, you can be empowered to get "unstuck" and be true to your needs. Tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based self-compassion are used to enhance progress. I also provide gender affirming letters and one-time wellness consultations.

It is truly an honor to bear witness to the way people lean into this deeply challenging and rewarding process. I wish you great success and satisfaction in seeking a closer relationship with yourself and hope you find the answers you are looking for in your search. You can find more information and online scheduling on my website.
