From the first phone contact and the moment you walk through the office (or virtual) door, you will be welcomed with a listening ear, a caring heart, a down-to-earth style, and active coping support. Coming from a place of lived experience and employing a neurodiversity-affirming and LGTBTQ-affirming approach, my intention is that you will feel safe, seen and celebrated in the unique aspects of identity that make you You. I will support you as you process your thoughts and feelings, develop new insight and explore new skills to restore your sense of calm, bring peace of mind, and foster greater well-being in your daily life.

Are you fed up with spinning, & trying & failing; feeling hopeless that your life will always be the same? I help people to untwist their thinking and have the tools and stragegies that they need. Imagine your life free from co-dependency, substance abuse, anxiety, anger, gambling, sex, and family issues. What if you were finally in control? If you're thinking 'hell yes' I'm ready, then I'm honored and happy to help. And no, I'm not going to push you towards AA or rehab :) - it's not the best option for everyone. Instead, let's start with a free 15-minute conversation to figure out exactly what you need from there.

Is something not quite right and no matter how hard you try you just can’t seem to shake it? You feel stuck. Life hasn’t quite turned out how you imagined it. You’re looking for fulfillment but don’t know where to start. Your kids just won’t listen. You and your partner can’t seem to agree on how to raise them. There is too much conflict in your home. No matter what you do things aren’t getting better. You’re ready to make a change but don’t know where to start. Many of these feelings and difficulties are common experiences that come and go throughout a lifetime.

Hello, I am glad you're here. I hope that you find what you’re looking for and, if you feel comfortable, perhaps I can lend you a helping hand along the way. I believe that nurturing a deeper understanding of ourselves, others, and the contexts we live in; recognizing the parts that we can and cannot change; and grieving what we should have received but didn't, can allow us more meaning and contentment as we move in life. I hope to accompany you in your process, whether you feel stuck in repeating patterns, are facing difficult situations, and/or are trying to find balance and fulfillment in the various roles you hold.
