I have been a therapist for over 25 years working with adult clients around issues of mood disorders, trauma, personality disorders and relationship difficulties. I believe people have the power within themselves for change but sometimes need a facilitator and coach to help them find additional coping skills or to process something with an objective party. I offer empathy, experience and a non-judgmental stance in the therapeutic relationship. My style is eclectic depending on an individual’s needs, with foundations in DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing and best practice models for psychotherapy.

As someone who identifies as queer, I recognize the need for affirming services for those in the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you are just beginning to explore your identity or you have been on this journey for years, I am here to validate and support you. I also have experience working with people who are low income as well as have been abused by loved ones - whether those relationships are romantic or familial. Our pasts can show up in our present day in unexpected ways. It can influence how we interpret events and respond to them. I hope to help you acknowledge these responses and work to manage them.

As a therapist I try to keep two sides of me fully present in our conversations. The first is who I am as a person, striving to feel what the concerns you bring to me must be like "on the inside." The other side is my commitment to the science of what is helpful to people. Through these inner conversations I strive very hard to help you find the care you need. What sets therapy apart from other conversations is the knowledge and experience we bring to our time together. I strive to do this in a personal way.

I specialize in adult/teen depression, anxiety, ADHD and relationship/family issues. Response time 24 business hours to calls or emails. My first priority is to understand you as a person. If you are feeling hesitant about therapy, understand that this is normal: letting another person into your private space can be frightening. A good therapist, however, will accept you as you are, with all the good and the ugly. Courage!

I work with individuals, couples and families from a broad array of backgrounds, lifestyles and issues experienced.

Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, and sometimes, we all need a moment to pause, reflect, and seek guidance. It takes courage to carve out time for yourself to process, heal, and embrace new beginnings. For adolescents especially, it is incredibly brave to explore your authentic self and future path.

Thanks for visiting! It’s not easy to find a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space, particularly for those that identify themselves as part of the LGBTQ community. I believe having a therapist that is empathetic, shows unconditional positive regard, and is authentic is crucial to therapeutic growth. These factors are an integral part of how I practice therapy. My hope is that you leave your first session feeling supported, safe, and understood. I recognize that each client is unique, and therefore, your therapy needs to be tailored to the unique individual that you are.

Life is full of challenges that can be overwhelming and make us feel powerless. These challenges can often lead to feeling lost or stuck and can create an environment where we lose sight of happiness, enjoyment, and sometimes our own self-worth. The feelings of sadness, stress, anxiety, and anger that come along with these obstacles can at times seem unmanageable and make us feel lonely and unsure of how to get through them.

Hello! Therapy can be an intimidating step sometimes, but I’m so impressed that you are prioritizing your health and taking this next step. I started my career as a school counselor before transitioning over to private practice. I made the switch so that I could spend more time working with the client on the goals at hand, and to develop the therapeutic relationship. My goal is for all clients to feel safe and comfortable. I strive to create a space that is led by compassion, understanding and inclusion. You can also expect an environment that is free of judgement, or shame, where diversity is celebrated.

I think therapy provides us with the opportunity to look inward and take the time we need to evaluate what we really want out of life. As an LGBT person, I know firsthand about the challenges our community experiences as well as how it can create barriers for us and cause suffering. I have personally found therapy to be very helpful in creating a safe space to explore the impact of these experiences on who we are today as well as gain perspective and learn some tools to improve our well-being. I help clients explore the intersectionality of our multiple identities, including sexual orientation, gender, and ethnicity/culture.

Sometimes life throws us more than we think we can handle. We feel so sad it hurts. We feel alone and like things won't get better. We worry about things we can't control. We get so stressed and overwhelmed that we start avoiding or procrastinating. We may know what we need to do, but feel stuck or can't seem to actually do it.
