As a former professional organizer with a BA in Religious Studies and an MA in Clinical Psychology, I believe our minds are a messy closet and I want to help you organize it. I am trained and skilled to help individuals and couples unpack what has happened, understand why you do the things you do, accept what we want to get rid of, decide what you want to keep, and reorganize for peace of mind. 

As a creative artist and improviser, I believe therapy is a science and an art. I aim to use my education, experience, metaphors, humor, compassion, reliability, and non-judgmental honesty to make therapy worth your hard earned money and irreplaceable time. There will be sessions where we explore what you want and your meaning of life (philosophize) and others where we slow down, breathe, and physically feel your emotions (pheel). Our relationship is collaborative. My job is not to pull you into the light. My job is to help you find the light switch. 

If you are looking for specific therapy lingo:

I am LGBTQIA+ affirmative. I have experience working with PTSD, PMDD, ADHD, BPD, Depression, Anxiety, Chronic illness, Relationship distress, Major life changes, Surviving as an artist, First-born-first-generation expectations, Relationship with Self, Building new habits, and Grief.

For couples, specifically: I have experience working with major life transitions; gender roles and expectations; infidelity; parenthood; communication; and frustration with having the same fight over and over again.

My tool box is filled with a variety of modalities: Psychodynamic, IFS, Somatic experiencing, Narrative, Gestalt, Existentialism, Humanism, CBT, and DBT.

We are navigating life on wavy seas. The goal of therapy is not to stop the waves of life but to learn how to surf them. I am passionate about discovering the best way for you, specifically, to manage the anxiety, and frequent systemic unfairness, of being alive.
