I provide therapy for adults and older adolescents (18+) who need support with managing the push and pull between perfectionism and shame. Within this context, a variety of other concerns might arise, such as anxiety and depression, unexpected life transitions, interpersonal conflict, grief and loss, and explorations with sexuality and gender identity.

1:1 relationship therapy, or individual attachment-based therapy, is for people looking to feel greater calm, confidence, and agency in their relationships. I can help you identify your sensitivities, set appropriate boundaries, engage in healthy conflict, clarify expectations of yourself and others in relationships, and clearly communicate unmet emotional needs.

Please note that this is different than couples therapy, in that I only work with individuals.

Gender affirming therapy is for anyone looking to start the process of exploring their gender identity, or for people who feel confident in their gender identity but want to further explore how their gender informs and impacts other parts of their lives, such as dating, school, work, friendships, and family relationships. I feel passionate about being a trans provider offering gender affirming care at a time when trans people are maliciously targeted by the federal government and in interpersonal relationships.

I use somatic approaches to help people reconnect with their bodies. When we experience trauma, our inherent ability to connect with our bodily sensations and emotions gets disrupted. Trauma healing is therefore a restoration of who and how we are. Through connecting with your body, I can help you identify triggers, regulate your emotions, reduce overwhelm, and decrease strategies used to avoid or distract from pain.

EMDR is a therapy model based on neuroscience that has been shown to resolve the lingering effects of trauma in the brain and body. People who undergo EMDR therapy commonly report that their trauma feels like something that happened to them, as opposed to something that continues to happen within them over and over again. I use a combination of somatic approaches and Internal Family Systems (IFS) when doing EMDR in order to provide comprehensive healing.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapy model based on the idea that we are all made up of different parts that help us move through the world. There is room for authenticity, pleasure, and connection while also making space for all the different parts of you to exist—yes, even the ones you have learned to see as frustrating, self-sabotaging, and disruptive! Our full selves are so worth embracing. I can help you integrate multiple truths and find your way back to wholeness.
