Navigating life’s challenges is no easy pursuit, especially without support. Therapy offers a safe and comfortable environment in which you and your child can receive that support. I aim to help your child hone a strong sense of self and surmount internal stumbling blocks, as well as equip you with tools to better understand and nurture your child’s unique needs.

Life is already quite difficult without that added everyday stressors that we encounter along the way. It can make us feel alone, defeated, hopeless, scared, and worried about our futures and our loved ones. When someone feels this way, it's hard to reach out for support. Maybe it's because we don't want to feel like being a burden to others, or because we don't want people to know our personal struggles. In reality, our life struggles are much more commonly shared than we actually realize. Most of us just want to be content in life. You are not alone! I understand, and together we will get you where you want to be in life.

Are you wanting to have deeper connections with others? Are you feeling “lost” in knowing who you are or what you want? Maybe there is a life transition that feels overwhelming, and you don’t know how to take that first step. Is this keeping you from accessing freedom, joy, and authenticity? With a focus on poly, queer and trans individuals, relationships and families, I can help guide you from a place of “stuckness” to one where you feel intentional and in control of your life and circumstances.

Our quality of life is determined by the quality of our relationships. Whatever your goals may be, change is an inside job, and I'm here to be both a witness and a resource in that complex process. When we can let go of shame and judgments around emotions, we allow space to cultivate more curiosity, compassion, acceptance, resiliency, and joy. When we utilize mistakes as informational gifts we can strengthen and clarify the authentic self. I would like to help you meet this self.

I believe in evaluating each person for who they are, and examining how their own life story has contributed to their challenges and problems in the present. It is important to look at the stressors/triggers that are making each person react the way they do, and develop new perspectives and better choices for the present and the future. I help each person identify self-sabotaging actions and in developing a better course for coping and living. Additionally, I believe it is important to learn how to continue to grow within yourself and in all types of relationships.

Are you a woman dealing with uncertainty in your life? Do you feel that you don’t have a choice or made choices that have you feeling out of control or disconnected with reality?

Life seems intense, overwhelming, or stressful right now. Fear, anger, and exhaustion are familiar emotions. Your parent/boss/spouse just doesn't get it and you don't know how to explain it to them. Perhaps you're questioning your identity, coming out to your family or to your child(ren), experiencing separation/divorce, ready to transition, or coping with loss. You want a safe place to discuss and leave behind feelings of loneliness, sadness, and confusion. You want to figure out a way to get through the week (the day!) and the next. You want relief. You want to be understood. Let's talk. Your first phone consultation is free.

You feel numb and hopeless. This feeling of loneliness feels hollow and empty and no one seems to get it. You feel as though the waves are crashing down on you and you cant catch a break.

You question if there is a high power, a light, just something to ease these feelings for just a day. I am here here to say, there is hope. I will give you the ladder and help you climb out of that dark hole and you will be able to live life again.

I have over 10 years of experience providing emotional and psychosocial support to many individuals and families of all ages, with extensive trauma and crisis intervention. An unbiased approach to understanding Client experiences and preferences is vital. I work with Clients from across all stages of the lifespan and from a variety of backgrounds. I am culturally curious and enjoy learning how people integrate their experiences, traditions, and identities. At all times I make an effort to remain easy to understand, empathetic, and in a posture to provide validation to each Client.

My training would be defined as "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" but I engage in general therapy. This means that I will work with my clients to meet them where they are and use tools, interventions and approaches that respect their person and strives to align with who they are. I am here for the client and make it a point to engage on a humanistic level. I am not a therapist who sits in a chair and asks "how does that make you feel?" I am a therapist who wants to actively help you identify your goal(s) and come up with a plan for you to reach them. I will not waste your time and I am invested as much as you are.

Using customized eclectic approaches; mindfulness, music, solution focused, neuroscience, trauma-informed care, EMDR and group therapy, I help clients discover their innate, creative potential resulting in a more satisfied, productive and meaningful life. I encourage self-expression, communication, and problem solving. With young children, I utilize play and art therapy to help them express and understand their feelings thus reducing their internal/external conflicts. With teenagers I often teach mindfulness and coping skills. I'm dedicated to helping each client fulfill their potential and achieve peace, well being and happiness.
