Do you find yourself struggling with shame or anxiety that people will reject you if they knew who you are? Do you feel depressed and anxious because you feel like you are emotionally starving, but terrified the cost to yourself or others is too great? Whether you identify with these feelings because of codependency, gender incongruence, or social anxiety, I don't want you to hold those struggles alone. I want to sit with you and empower you to take the steps to value a beautiful person: you.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

I enjoy working with clients who desire to improve their important relationships. Whether they are work, romantic, family relationships or friendships, our relational patterns are largely consistent. While self-help books, podcasts, and trainings often provide great advice on new behaviors one can adopt to improve relationships, they often fail to get to the personalized reasons relationships are difficult in the first place. This is where I can help!
