Life can get really tough sometimes and I think we all need a place to come and just BE REAL with another person. Vent feelings, share thoughts that we may not really be comfortable sharing with close friends and family, and just lay it all out, however messy. I believe that finding the right match with a therapist is crucial. It’s like dating—you have to keep looking until you find some chemistry, a click, and feel like the person really gets you. I am LGBT-affirming and have years of experience working with creative people in various fields. I build resilience in clients by teaching skills to manage anxiety, depression, and life's ups and downs, whether that’s learning to be kinder to yourself, getting more comfortable with vulnerability, or learning to manage feelings when relationships change. My style of therapy is warm, compassionate, honest, and direct. I welcome your mess; we can look through the piles together and see if we can come out with some gold.
