In our modern world, many of us recognize the need to take time to slow down and get in tune with ourselves and our relationships. I actively engage with clients in a reflective process to explore current life stressors, challenges, & behavioral patterns. A relational framework is utilized to help guide clients through an exploration of how current and past relationships influence their lives. Within the context of a safe and trusting therapeutic environment, I help clients to identify the steps needed to overcome challenges and promote positive change.

25 years of experience in private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist has given me the ability to create a warm and safe environment for change. Would you like to make changes in your marriage, family, children or work environment? Sometimes it is helpful to ask what the problem is, rather than why it is a problem. If you know what the problem is, it can be more helpful to solve. We use that philosophy in Brief Therapy, which can be effective for busy, active families and marriages in crises.

As a queer-identifying therapist, I understand the unique challenges you may face. I have experience helping individuals with a history of anxiety, depression, trauma, dependency, complex relationships, and substance use. These concerns often take the form of a loss of self-control, a sense of alienation, a lack of affirming relationships, and destructive behaviors concerning family, friends, work, or self. We will explore the underlying causes of these behaviors and develop healthier ways to manage stress and build more fulfilling relationships.
