Welcome, I am glad that you are here! Seeking therapy can be scary; especially for those that hold marginalized identities and must work hard to feel safe, supported, and empowered. I work to support adults and couples experiencing stress/anxiety, those who identify as neurodivergent, and those who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Support is largely focused on ADHD, relational conflict, sex/kink related issues, and body insecurities.

We live in a world where we are conditioned by so many things around us. Do you feel you are not good enough? Do you experience the need to achieve perfection? Are you made to feel your needs are unimportant? This can be a result of messaging we have received from family, society, culture, etc. It can leave us feeling sad, unmotivated, and purposeless, among many other emotions. Together we can challenge norms and evaluate if and what we can reset. Imagine a life in which you could be relieved of all the unnecessary weight you carry. Together we can awaken parts of you that you may not know exist.

Greetings and Salutations! I am so grateful that you have taken the time to explore my therapy profile! When our lives become difficult, it can cause us to feel disconnected from those around us and our intrapersonal sense of being. We can feel alone and without power over many aspects of our lives. When this happens, finding a connection can be scary, but also as simple as reaching out. By working together, I can help you find the best way to overcome your circumstances, achieve your goals and create a life that you can enjoy.
