The Center for Counseling Arts

My approach to therapy is guided by a systemic analysis grounded in the wisdom of your lived experience and belief in the brilliance of our own natural capacity to heal. Together we can break old patterns, reconnect to values and integrate experiences for a life of greater flexibility and breadth. I incorporate feminist and ecological concepts with applications of Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I work with adults - individuals, couples, groups - seeking to improve their communication, build more fulfilling relationships, manage anxiety or depression, connect with and honor their emotions, and heal from trauma.

As a trans, non-binary therapist, I have a special affinity for working with the LGBTQIA+ community and can facilitate Gender Affirming Care providing assessments and letters from an informed consent model. Rather than the narrow diagnostic lens, care providers committed to informed consent acknowledge a diverse variety of experiences, and recognize trans people are able to make our own choices. I am invested in partnering with people impacted by stigma from mental health providers, including those who seek assistance with problematic substance use, chronic relationship distress associated with complex trauma, and experiences of psychosis or other altered states.

I believe that growth, healing, and change become possible through acceptance. I am committed to meeting your full self without shame, and to helping you do the same.
