I’m glad you’re here.
Welcome.
Looking for a therapist can be (and often is) stressful. As you start your search, I hope you’ve also found some relief in beginning to see that healing can happen.
You probably have lots of questions swirling through your head as you start this journey to heal. Do you find yourself often feeling confined by what you’re ‘supposed to’ be doing? Do you find yourself struggling to figure out what you want from life? Do you often look around and feel like everyone else has it figured out? Do you find yourself spending your free (or even busy) time asking a lot of big, existential questions?
The search for healing and answers can feel messy. Being human can be messy. We all need a safe space to show up in the mess. In our work together, that space is what I offer you: a space where you don’t need to feel put together or focus on doing or saying what others want to hear. I invite you to let this be a space where you get to be the whole human you are. Once you’re here, we’ll work on figuring out what you want from life, how to live your life on your terms, and how to get you there.

WHO I WORK WITH
Specialties
Existential angst/Anxiety
Often people come to therapy because they were doing life a certain way or working toward certain goals and then (suddenly or slowly) it stopped working for them. Maybe you’re living your life in a way that challenges the status quo a little bit. This can lead to self-doubt, anxiety, and big meaning-of-life questions. We can dive into and work through all of it. Read more about therapy for anxiety or existential angst/dread.
Trauma
Trauma is a broad topic and yet has such a personal meaning to each human being. Healing looks different for each individual and talking about trauma or its effects in therapy can be deeply vulnerable and deeply healing. Read more…
Neurodivergence
Neurodivergence is a broad category that includes ADHD, Autism, and many other things in the umbrella that leave people feeling like their brains work differently than others. If you find yourself searching for more support, we could work together to both increase self-compassion AND build concrete strategies that work for your mind. Read more…
LGBTQIA+ Identity/sexuality
Exploring your identity can be a very vulnerable process. Unearthing feelings and memories that may have been ignored or buried can be hard work. I invite you to a safe space to redefine yourself, however quickly or slowly you like. Read more…
Psychosis/ Altered States
I feel passionate that therapy should be accessible for people who have experienced psychosis – in the past or presently- and that there is healing work to do beyond medication and hospitalization. I spend time helping people process their experiences and define what recovery looks like for them. Read more…
Why Roseate Therapy?
Well, one big reason, honestly, and one small one. The big one: It reminds me of what grounds me as a therapist. One of my favorite metaphors is by Kelly Wilson and Steven Hayes. The metaphor compares how we look at a sunset vs. how we look at people. We look at sunsets and take in their beauty without saying what they could do to be prettier. Rarely do you hear someone say ‘That sunset needs more purple’ or ‘The fluffy clouds should be over there.’ Yet, we so often look at ourselves (and others) and see all the things that need fixing. What if we could apply a ‘sunset mode of mind’ or ‘wowfulness’ to ourselves? To others? To life? What a beautiful view we would have of the world. We’ll strive to bring this ability to observe things neutrally to the therapy room as much as possible and in observing the roseate glow of a sunset or the Roseate Spoonbills (pictured to the right) and also in observing and experiencing the things that don’t feel quite as beautiful or comfortable. We’ll welcome all experiences equally.
Bonus reason: My favorite bird is the Roseate Spoonbill and you only hear people speak in awe of their bright pink, not in criticism of their other features.
