As a therapist with a focus on developmental trauma and working with queer and trans adults and teens, I believe that early life experiences and ongoing structural contexts immensely inform our relationship to ourselves and each other. I hold this framework with my background in somatic psychotherapy, which considers the ways our bodies and nervous systems relate to our emotions and experiences. There is no one way to relate to the past, embody our feelings, or find healing. In therapy, we find a way for you together. My role is to hold consistent curiosity, rigor, and care throughout the process of your own self-discovery.

Many people with ADHD seek out therapy or assessment with me because they struggle to maintain relationships, perform up to their potential at work or school, or parent in a confident and secure way. I help you to identify if ADHD or other forms of neurodiversity are the source of the challenges, frustration, or pain you and/or your child may be experiencing and I can support you in overcoming the obstacles you're facing. I use research-validated clinical tools both to conduct thorough neuropsychological assessments and to provide inclusive psychotherapy using a variety of customized modalities.

I work with individuals and couples to help reduce struggles and find ways to live more fulfilling, gratifying lives. Our relationship is the context in which we work to find where you're stuck, what's getting in your way, and ways to do things differently. My specialty areas include grief and loss, adoption, ADHD, race/class issues, work/life balance, LGBTQ issues, and divorce. I help people manage anxiety and mood problems. I help couples with concerns related to parenting, managing conflict, and addressing needs and expectations. I see communication as the grease that keeps relationships running smoothly, and I help facilitate good communication.

Stepping into therapy isn't easy. Being highly visible to another human takes courage, so I commend you for reaching out for support! I want to be a reparative, healing presence in your life and to empower you to have the life you deserve. I work with adolescents, adults and couples. Both individual, and couples, work encompasses gaining insight about early childhood attachment, and also identifying, and shifting, problematic ways of coping and communicating. My style is relational, warm and I am trauma informed. I see clients both in person, and virtually, and have flexible appointment times (Day, Evening and Weekend).

You are here for a reason. You may have been feeling anxious for a while or feeling persistently sad; you may want to correct some of the dysfunctional patterns in your life and improve the quality of your relationships; you may feel stuck and unable to move forward in life. Perhaps you have found yourself entangled with self-blame or even self-hatred. Whatever you have gone through in the past or what you are going through right now, you do not have to continue to suffer. You have taken the first step towards change.

As a therapist, I believe in offering connected, empathetic support. I provide a safe and knowledgeable space where you can heal, grow, and discover new ways of approaching life’s difficulties. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that may no longer serve you and work to replace them with skills that align with your values and sense of self. I have years of experience as a therapist and specialized training in working with the mental health challenges of perimenopause and menopause, treating substance abuse and working through the impacts of trauma.

I believe people are inherently oriented to heal and grow. Sometimes on the healing journey we need support to navigate difficult transitions, especially if old traumas are clouding our current vision. My role as a psychologist is to accompany you on your personal path. I welcome people with all types of concerns. I am especially experienced in treating people struggling with trauma, eating and body image issues, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, life transitions, relationship and parenting issues.

I take an engaged and collaborative approach in my work with clients. Many people have reported feeling more comfortable with this approach, especially after experiencing therapists who seem to offer little feedback. I am committed that my clients achieve the changes they want. Everyone is unique, and therefore I tailor our work together based on your needs. Some people see me for long periods and others do shorter pieces of work on specific issues. All of our meetings take place online so that you can receive therapy from the comfort of your own home. You can expect a warm, caring and safe space to explore your life and goals.

I'm accepting new clients! My approach is genuine, nonjudgmental, gender-affirming, and intersectional. I'm a queer clinician who works from a perspective that integrates social and cultural context (society, family, and relationships) with your inherent values, strengths, and desires. Together we’ll use humor, creativity, and levity to provide fertile ground for more difficult emotions like grief, depression, and anxiety. I use various therapeutic approaches based on the issues and needs you bring into session; providing individual and relationship therapy that is personalized, holistic, and trauma-informed.

I work with individual adults of all ages as well as with couples: I like to listen to you, metaphorically speaking, with two ears: what you say and how you say it. I like to understand your internal make-up and the dynamics of your interpersonal relationships. I also want to understand with you how it all fits together. Perhaps, through collaborative curiosity, I can help you alter habits from back then that don't serve you in the here and now of your life at this time. I believe that relationships to yourself and others are critically important.

I have a particular expertise in working with clients who have diverse cultural backgrounds (e.g. ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation.) I also have a deep association working with artistic/creative type individuals and can address particular issues that arise being an artist confined to a conventional/mainstream worldview.

As we go through life, we all develop particular patterns for dealing with challenges. Though some of these patterns are helpful, others actually get in the way of reaching our goals. Sometimes we're not even aware that what we're doing may be sabotaging our happiness and success. In therapy, I will give you direct feedback which will illuminate these problematic patterns. This will help you understand how to overcome obstacles, and find deeper satisfaction in your life. As a therapist with over 20 years experience, I have helped many people work through depression and anxiety and move towards success.

In my work with clients, I value understanding each person's individual experience and I strive to create a supportive environment with a warm, reflective and engaging approach. I believe we all have the potential to lead fulfilling lives. To reach this potential, I help clients reflect on themselves and their experiences, identify and understand patterns, and initiate change. I am influenced by psychodynamic perspectives and attachment theory.

I work with individuals and couples facing significant life choices and transitions in areas such as relationships, marriage, divorce, parenthood, career, and identity. I also have a sub-specialization in work with survivors of trauma. I am experienced in working with clients from a wide range of cultural and geographic backgrounds. In our sessions I provide clients a place to find support, acceptance, perspective and hope, to explore themselves and their lives in depth, and to develop more effective ways of relating to themselves and others.
