I provide individual psychotherapy for adults of all ages. I often work with women, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent people, but I warmly welcome clients of all identities.

I offer support for people coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, parenting, gender identity, sexuality, minority stress, disability, midlife changes, career transitions, chronic health issues, grief and loss, and more.

My approach is trauma-informed and strengths-based. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, and attuned to those who are sometimes marginalized within queer spaces, including trans, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and bi/pan folks.

I offer individual psychotherapy for adolescents ages 13 and up. My approach is grounded in my deep respect for teens’ agency, resilience, and creativity.

I have worked as a therapist in a high school, supporting teens around depression, anxiety, suicidality, self harm, neurodivergence, substance and alcohol use, gender identity, sexuality, racism, disordered eating, stress, trauma, and grief and loss. I am also a parent myself.

I provide affirming care for teens who identify as trans, non-binary, gender nonconforming, and LGBTQIA+. I also offer support for parents who are processing their own emotions relating to a child’s gender identity or sexuality.

I offer psychotherapy for couples and other relationship structures to support connection and communication.

My work is informed by attachment theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). We are all wired to seek love and connection, but so often, early experiences leave us with fears or insecurities that get in the way. Learning to recognize those dyamics is the first step to changing them.

Going to couples therapy isn’t a sign that your relationship is weak. It shows bravery and care. As bell hooks wrote, “When we choose to love, we move against fear — against alienation and separation. The choice to love is a choice to connect — to find ourselves in the other.”

I am certified in CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia). CBT-I is a brief, structured therapy — usually about 8 sessions, though it can vary. The focus is on learning about, and changing, the sleep-related thoughts and behaviors that underlie most insomnia.

Insomnia is very common, and very distressing — lack of sleep takes a huge toll on mental and physical health. Too often, people are prescribed medications without being offered therapy, even though studies have shown that CBT-I is more effective and less risky than sleeping pills.

I offer CBT-I either as a stand-alone, short-term therapy, or as part of longer-term psychodynamic therapy.
