My style as a therapist is warm, direct and curious. I strive to form collaborative relationships with clients and utilize a mix of goal setting, treatment planning and exploratory/ open ended work depending on the client's needs and wants. I have 6 years of post graduate specialized training in Gestalt Therapy, a form of psychotherapy that is centered on increasing a person's awareness, freedom, and self-direction. Through my post graduate study, I also gained exposure to systems theory which has informed my therapeutic approach. I also have training in Internal Family Systems (Level 1) and 9 years of clinical experience.

I help people feel better about themselves & their relationships, particularly in families. I work best with children, adolescents, and their parents in building and maintaining healthy and fulfilling relationships. Couples therapy is also a major focus for me. I have had 36 years of experience providing counseling and therapy. I emphasize self-concept, and couple and family bonding. Children and teens need clear and firm limits, along with nurturing and support. Parents need to receive - and give - respect and love. I provide effective and efficient help towards these ends. Therapy is entirely by video & phone for Covid safety.

Imagine; you are able to shift harsh self criticism, insecurity, people pleasing, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, codependency, & feeling “stuck” in one or more areas of life. You can finally experience self love and acceptance, fulfilling intimacy, great health, & the ability to enjoy your achievements. You unapologetically set limits &boundaries that are in support of your needs & desires, & let yourself rise into a life where you actually have everything you want because you know in your bones just how worthy you are.

THERAPY WORKS. IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Will it work for you? It depends. Y'ever wonder why you're not where you want to be in your life - why things aren't turning out as planned? Image that changing. I have opinions and theories, and I'm willing to share them with you fairly early on. I'm not just going to watch you make the same mistakes over and over again without saying something to you. I won't make your decisions for you, but I will help you examine consequences and encourage you to make better choices.

Everyday, think as you wake up - today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive, I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. Being human isn’t always easy and I am here to help you navigate that path gently.

With this experience I am confident that I can help you navigate through whatever it is that brought you here.

Being human is hard. Sometimes, it can feel like we’re running in circles or sleepwalking through life on auto-pilot with racing thoughts that clutter the mind and paralyze the spirit. Overwhelmed by the weight of emptiness in the heart, but possibly already skipping or spiraling ahead to the next step to carry on with the performance of this existence because “everything is fine.” The show must go on, right? There may be limitations, even detrimental consequences to filling the void with excessive distractions. How did too much become never enough?

It's not unusual for people to experience moments of disconnection or imbalance with themselves, with their families, or with society. Most of us tend to immediately react with, "I must be broken, or I'm different." You are not broken, you are who you are as a result of something that occurred. I am passionate about exploring where the root cause of that fear, pain, and uncertainty might be coming from. We are all products of our past events. It doesn't always mean that it is someone else's fault, it may be a result of our painful past resulting in our distorted self-perception. I listen without judgment, and with compassion.

As non-binary and trans folx we often find ourselves wondering "where do I belong in this world?" and "why can't I just be myself?" It seems like we've tried everything but we dont feel like we belong or we are in a safe place to live & work. We often wonder when its going to get better? When can I just live my life fully how I am? Sometimes we feel sad and it can be a very lonely place. We can even forget just how special and unique we are because we are so different and surrounded by those who just don't get it. We really want someone who can connect to us &make our experiences feel validated, reminding us that we are beautiful.
