My Ideal Client

Seeing a therapist facilitates personal growth and puts you in touch with your lived experiences, values, motivations, desires, needs, and wants. If you are looking for a guide for deep self-discovery so substantial and lasting inner growth can take root, we'll likely be a good fit for one another!

How I Can Help You

I respect your autonomy and aim to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment so you can: 1) Make the changes you want in your life, 2) Be empowered to set goals and intentions that align with your values, 3) Increase mindfulness and self-awareness, 4) Begin to understand and respond compassionately to your suffering, and 5) Identify and build your individual strengths. I offer individual psychotherapy specializing in anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, and chronic illness or injury. Additional topics include self-esteem, managing stress, aging, and relationship issues. I specialize in helping people who are experiencing work stress. Adverse or traumatic work experiences can lead to anxiety, depression, and burnout. Trauma-informed career counseling can help you heal and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose in your career.

My Values as a Therapist

I understand that access to mental health services is a social justice issue as much as it is a healthcare issue. Acknowledging that fact requires taking meaningful action to change it. I strive to use my position to act with- and for- others in pursuit of identifying and ending systemic racism and social oppression. I reserve a portion of available appointments for sliding-scale rates as a means to improve access to mental health services, specifically for people with intersectionality and economic need. I am part of Open Path Collective, which provides a more affordable means to access mental health services. Please inquire about available space.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Anxiety External link

    At its core, anxiety is a protective mechanism. In this hectic and rapidly changing world, your protective impulses fire on overdrive. You can loosen anxiety’s overwhelming and disruptive grasp with awareness and intention. You can thoughtfully work toward re-writing mental scripts that have kept you feeling stuck, exhausted, and less confident. Mindfulness and somatic practices alongside cognitive strategies can create a powerful combination to heal from anxiety.

  • Personal Growth External link

    Maybe you’ve been feeling lost, stuck or confused. The journey to explore yourself is not easy; thankfully, we do not have to journey alone. Achieve deeper meaning and purpose in your life by exploring your thoughts, feelings, and core values. Map a route to make intentional shifts to live in sync with your goals and dreams. Here as your wayfinder, let's be adventurers together!

  • Compassion Fatigue External link

    Work can give you a sense of purpose and fulfillment, but what happens if you experience stressful, traumatic, or career-disrupting challenges in the workplace? Career stress can lead to anxiety, depression, and burnout. You don’t have to navigate these challenges on your own. I specialize in providing trauma-informed career counseling around adverse work incidents. Career therapy can help you heal and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose in your career.

  • Chronic Pain or Illness External link

    I have 15 years of experience in the field of vocational rehabilitation counseling and have experience working with individuals with chronic pain, chronic illness, musculoskeletal conditions, and physical disabilities. In addition, I have experience working with individuals with sensory disabilities, traumatic brain injury, and cognitive disabilities.
