Looking for a sex-positive therapist? I offer an open and accepting space in which you can be, or discover, your most authentic self. If you are struggling with issues of identity, have been harmed by messages about your body or sex, or are living with the aftermath of a traumatic event, I am here to offer my training and expertise to help you move from a place of pain and hardship into a place of peace and connection, both with me and with yourself. Therapy is more than just a place for talking. This is a place to experience safety and being seen. Allow me to join you on your journey of deeper introspection and self awareness.
This is a group for women over age 18 who want help with their individual issues such as communication, anger, boundaries or health issues. This is a open, ongoing process group where the members can share what they are going through with other women.

I believe we all need a little help at times. Noone is immune to life’s ups and downs. I am here for you when you need someone who understands, someone who believes in you. I focus on your strengths as a person, helping you to reach your full potential, even when you don’t fully believe in yourself.
NOTE: ON HOLD DUE TO COVID-19 This 8-week group will use primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to inform women to regain control of their lives. CBT is a therapy treatment that helps people see the relationship between their beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and subsequent behavioral patterns and actions. Women will explore their negative perceptions about self-worth, value and identity and how it directly influences responses to situations. Negative perceptions allow women to surrender their control, power and voice to others, which allow their own maltreatment. By learning effective coping skills, women will encourage one another's empowerment.

Plants can grow in some of the most unexpected places. On sidewalks, through concrete, on buildings. Even when the odds seem stacked against it, the desire to thrive can find a way. When a person comes to therapy, they are choosing to find their own way to grow, no matter where they’ve been planted. One of the tools of plants are tendrils; those delicate, sensitive shoots of courage that reach out for support and connection. With some nurturance and guidance, we here at Tendril Therapy welcome you to break the barriers of what seems improbable, to grow, to thrive, to climb.

You imagined the path to parenthood to look a lot different. Pregnancy, trying to conceive, coping with losses and becoming a parent for the first (or umpteenth time) can be quite different than expected. It's important to get help if you're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious as you anticipate and cope with these transitions.
