Whether you are looking for support for yourself or your relationship, I am equipped with a number of tools to help.
I support individuals and couples in understanding negative patterns of relating and developing more adaptive coping strategies to manage life's stressors. Clients describe me as warm but direct, and I strive to create an environment that allows for levity, humor, and playfulness as we work together to make sense of your problems and overcome them. I work hard with my clients, and I enjoy engaging with clients who show up ready to work. I welcome clients of all genders and sexual orientations. As a queer person, it feels especially meaningful when I can support LGBTQ+ clients.

Throughout my years of experience, I have been given the opportunity to assist individuals with a wide range of both emerging and persistent mental health issues, including those that involve mood, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship dynamics, phase of life problems, as well as sexual orientation and gender identity issues.
We can all become stuck, overwhelmed, hopeless, or just feel we’re not living our best lives for many different reasons. Additionally, the current unrest in society around us can shake a sense of security or predictability we may have held about what our futures hold. These may cause disruptions in sleep and appetite and encourage negative thoughts and moods to grow and persist. Whatever your struggles, I ensure professional care that is collaborative, respectful, and that has your best interests at heart.

I welcome the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, college-age students, and adults, as individuals or as couples and families.
I focus on empowering people to connect with their values and strengths and to heal and grow through challenges. You may be suffering with stress in a relationship, school, or work. You may be transitioning through a difficult stage of life, or wrestling with issues of identity. You may feel stuck in old patterns that hold you back while you are yearning to move forward. Drawing on mindfulness-based practice, informed especially by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental and collaborative approach to psychotherapy.

My approach to therapy is not limited to any one direction or technique. I work to stay open to and curious about each person's unfolding story. I listen closely to nuance and I look for underlying patterns, towards understanding what keeps people stuck. I am comfortable working with great adversity and extreme pain.

I offer a wraparound approach to therapy, which may include individual, family/ couples, and/or group work.
My mission is to help my clients better understand who they are, what they want from this life, and how to move towards a more integrated self. My alternative style of therapy blends traditional talk therapy with non-traditional therapeutic methods such as nature therapy, mindfulness-based practices, music, art, movement, and nature-based groups. I have found both personally and professionally that nature, creative expression, and physical activity set the stage for healing and growth, and I enjoy incorporating these elements into my therapeutic approach.

<- New couples welcome - Also specialize in people struggling to leave relationships -> Are you living with challenging routines? Having the same fight over and over or the same negative self-thoughts every night? Often, these painful patterns came out of initial attempts to help care for yourself or your relationship. My goal is to support you to explore how these patterns influence your life today and then to continue the parts that serve you and to change the ones that don’t. You may build new boundaries, find ways to quiet shame and shape new narratives of possibility to find the growth you're looking for.

I have been in clinical private practice for 46 years, working with both couples and individuals.
Although conflict is inevitable in all intimate relationships, problems that continue to spiral out of control are not. The key to interrupting this painful cycle is undoing your bad communication habits that keep you from being unable to work through conflict. While couples are aware of the importance of communication, they are often unable to implement effective skills. Imago Therapy provides a unique way to communicate that enables you to understand and validate your partner's reality and truth of what happened, even when yours is different. This ends the draining and defeating battles over whose perception of reality is right.

Couples bring their problems into therapy but they also bring their strengths.
I work with all couples - married and unmarried, premarital and divorcing, heterosexual and same sex. I work actively to explore areas of dissatisfaction, identify obstacles to change, and find ways to overcome them. I offer to meet with all couples for a brief evaluation, designed to determine whether treatment is indicated and to quickly identify key problems, strengths and promising directions for treatment. I strive for the shortest course of treatment that accomplishes clients' goals. If a couple is in acute crisis, I make every effort to see them on an intensive basis initially until the immediate crisis is stabilized.

My interests include sex therapy, working with couples and partnerships, supporting clients in their exploration of gender and sexuality, and those in alternative family structures.
I am a queer, pre-licensed professional. In sessions, I combine academic, lived, and clinical experiences to create a client-focused therapeutic environment based on collaboration and community. My training has centered on working with queer and trans adolescents and young adults, as well as partnership work, including monogamous, ENM, and poly relationship constellations. In my clinical work, I believe in the strength of authenticity, connection, warmth, and empathy. I primarily draw on narrative, dialogic, and relational approaches in my work. Anti-oppression, social justice, and intersectional feminist lenses are also central.
