Life is so much more colorful when you paint from your own palette. My clients seek meaning, understanding, fulfillment, and embodiment through the ways they shape, and are shaped by, their environment: LGBTQIA+, kink, consensual nonmonogamy, sex work, neurodivergence, and meaning/spirituality all welcome. I work best with relationships and individuals who are motivated to untangle their own lives, and want a side-kick to co-navigate the tricky path.

I frequently work with adults managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorder who want collaborative care. I take time to understand how symptoms impact your daily life, carefully considering factors like work demands, sleep patterns, and overall wellness goals. By combining my medical expertise with a holistic understanding of your life, we develop medication strategies that align with your needs.
My clients seek medication management or psychological testing for conditions like depression, anxiety, or ADHD. They may be struggling to find the right medication combination or need clarity about their diagnosis through comprehensive testing. I work well with individuals who are committed to their treatment plan, open to medication adjustments, and willing to provide honest feedback about their symptoms.
I view my clients as the experts of their own lives, experience(s), and self. I believe we each carry the "answer(s)" we need most within, but are not always taught how to get there or how to tune into ourselves. During our time together, you will be given an opportunity to explore and "be with" yourself in potentially deeper and new ways. I believe the exploration of self is interwoven with the unfolding of our life.
I work with a diverse range of individuals who grapple with feeling stuck, unmotivated, and anxious amidst life's demands.

Have you ever felt like you didn't fit in? Maybe you've spent your life pursuing interests and passions that others didn't understand or appreciate. As a specialist, I work with individuals who embrace their uniqueness, whether they're gamers, bookworms, metaphysical enthusiasts, geeks, artists, or creatives. Moreover, I provide support for those in the LGBT, poly, and kink communities. Together, we'll create an affirming space to explore your identity and find acceptance.
Asking for help is one of the most challenging things to do for ourselves, but it is one of the best ways of self-investing. When we physically do not feel well, we reach out to our doctors or nurses for support because we think that is normal. When we do not feel well mentally, it can give us a sense of not feeling normal, and while everyone's story is different, it is the same because we all have one.
You may feel entrenched in old, ineffective patterns that are difficult to break. You may feel confused or directionless due to unexpected crisis.

I provide mental health counseling for individuals in the Portland area so they can navigate these kinds of transitions and answer their inner call for change.

You’re feeling stuck in familiar patterns of shame and self-criticism, and it’s hard to tap into your strengths when you need them most. Whether it's the weight of anxiety or the impact of prejudice and discrimination, especially toward the LGBTQ+ community, it feels overwhelming and you feel vulnerable and out-of-touch with your own voice. You’re ready for help and deserve support as you take steps toward healing and growth—you don’t have to go through this alone.
