I utilize evidence-based treatment models for the treatment of anxiety, depression, phobias and specific fears, trauma processing, grief, and relationship problems.
The stressors associated with relationships, career, and health can be difficult to navigate! Sometimes we can cope with this on our own and other times friends or family support us. Sometimes that just isn't enough; and we need an objective, nonjudgemental person who has training in counseling to help. I have many years of experience in individual and group therapy. My approach is active, genuine, and strengths-based.

I utilize the most contemporary Mind-Body talk therapies for the most effective treatment of trauma, such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, IFS, AEDP, & Havening Therapy.
"PEACE. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still BE CALM IN YOUR HEART" (author unknown). Has childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, or life circumstances created emotional pain, physical pain, confusion, or self-doubt? Each of us has the capacity and potential to live a peaceful, fulfilling, and satisfying life. We can work together to make this growth possible. I have extensive experience in transforming patterns that cause depression, anxiety, distress, and disconnection from one's self and others.

In my practice I also provide trainings and workshops for providers, educators and consumers with several areas of focus: Social Justice; LGBT and gender; trauma and PTSD Disability and Ableism.
It is a brave thing to seek out resources for healing and change. In my years of practice I have come to understand that the right therapy connection generates the power and possibility of cultivating our best selves. I work extensively with people who have survived trauma, redefined (dis)ability and come into LGBT community. I work with diverse relationship and family structures.
I can help you identify what you most need and support you in building the strengths and resources to get it. In our work together we can create a space for you to survive and thrive.

You want to be able to relax into your life. Let’s work together to help you get unstuck from your past. So that you can feel like you’re in the driver’s seat of your life.

From the beginning of my professional career, I have treated trauma survivors, and over the years have chosen to make it my specialty.
***Accepting new clients Feb 1, priority to healthcare workers/ first responders and LGBTQ+ individuals*** Unsure about therapy but notice that certain issues in your life keep recurring? Looking for someone to support you as you try to make sense of it all? Maybe your anxiety is starting to interfere with your functioning, or depression feels like it's weighing you down. Maybe there's a trauma in your past that you keep trying to suppress, but it keeps showing up in unexpected ways. Maybe you're used to being in control, but you're coming to terms with the fact that you can't control certain symptoms. I've seen it. I can help.

I have also worked extensively with the LGBT community and with trauma survivors.
Have you lost someone close to you, whether through divorce, a breakup, or death, and find your grief taking over your life? Are you questioning your sexual orientation or gender? Are you experiencing post-traumatic stress symptoms? You don't have to do it alone. I work collaboratively and compassionately with my clients to help them come to some kind of peace with whatever they're struggling with.
I believe that everyone has a strong inner core that can get eclipsed by traumas both large and small. Together you and I would work to find and reclaim that core.

I have 25+ years experience working with people of all genders, sexualities, and relational preferences on issues ranging from gender transitioning, trauma resolution, anxiety, & depression, to general life confusion.
Are you someone who, due to choice or circumstance, is living life outside the mainstream? Are you an "outsider" in relation to social norms, feeling like you don't fit in or are committed to values or self-expression that make life in the larger world challenging? Perhaps you have been wary of therapy & of therapists judging you because of gender identity or presentation, because of your interest in kink or other forms of sexual expression, or because of your involvement in polyamory or other non-traditional relationship styles. If so, you need look no further to find an open-minded & respectful therapist.

I am trained in Internal Family Systems and am a Trauma-Informed therapist.
Sometimes life just gets in the way of remembering our true nature. I like helping people find their inner core-so they know who they are and are able to express themselves freely. Life is not always easy, but there is a ground of truth that sustains and supports us when we know who we are. Old stories often hurt and pain informs what we see and what we do. Therapy can help free us from mistaken beliefs and free us from the burdens of the past.

I've been trained in psychodynamics, and am certified in Trauma Treatment.
Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma ("big T or little t"), and difficult relationships, can be both wearing and demoralizing. I try to help people understand at an emotional level, not just an intellectual one. I have been called compassionate, warm and down-to-earth. I use mind-body, psychodynamic, somatic, cognitive, as well as practical approaches to a problem. I try to help a person grasp an issue or resolution in a way that resonates with them. It needs to make sense in both their head and gut, so they can start putting that understanding into real-life, practical solutions to their problems. Insight and practicality.

I have been a therapist for 25+ years and work with clients of all ages. I support clients who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, life stressors, mood and behavior regulation needs. There are times in life when we don't feel as connected, capable or happy as we would like. I help my clients access their inner resources so they can experience the change they want and get in touch with their most authentic selves. I believe everyone can reclaim their power, heal, grow and thrive.

Life sometimes overwhelms us with unexpected tragedy bringing grief, loss, trauma, spiritual questions and life transition at a time when we are least prepared. I work primarily with individual and family survivors of these events including loss to disaster, homicide, suicide or other sudden and violent death.

I provide EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidenced based and highly effective trauma treatment.
I have been most effective in working with individuals who feel that their anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles and/or mood issues are holding them back from living the life they want to live. I work collaboratively to establish a treatment plan that is unique and tailored to each individual. Together, we will engage in insight oriented work to understand the root of the problem, as well as skill building to learn coping skills that will help alleviate distress in the here and now. In my experience this is what leads to both symptom relief in the short term as well as deep long lasting change.

People find this perspective particularly helpful in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep, and pain.
Welcome! Meaningful change and lasting healing happen through the co-creation of safe therapeutic spaces. Together, we can develop your capacity not only to feel better, but to be healthier. Understanding yourself is a powerful source of transformation and development. However, insight alone is not always enough to create psychological healing. I work with people to generate deep insight but also to create a new way of being and feeling in the world. For these purposes, I often incorporate both experiential and mind/brain/body therapies.

My direct and respectful approach is the most prominent and helpful aspect of my work. I provide an environment of warmth and trust, so you can feel free to discuss any problem. I take an active and engaged role and when needed, I will also teach concrete skills of managing difficult personal situations or painful emotions. I think of myself as coach, teacher and mentor to help each client find a way of living that is right for them. I have an eclectic approach but my specialties are in mindfulness and attachment and trauma informed work.

I specialize in treating challenges with emotional regulation, and work with people who are looking to heal from trauma and adverse life events.
Are you looking for help managing emotions? Are you stuck in patterns you can't get out of? Looking to understand how your past has influenced your present? As a DBT and trauma therapist, I help clients make changes to improve their lives. Clients I work with may have difficulty coping with emotions, engage in self-harm or substance abuse, disordered eating or have experienced anxiety, trauma or PTSD. Using empathy and validation, along with direct feedback and humor, I enjoy helping clients discover how to build a life worth living.
