With over 20 years experience, I have successfully helped others with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, low self worth/esteem and relationship struggles. While providing a safe atmosphere where one feels comfortable talking about themselves, I help you to figure out what the issues are and how to best deal with them.. It's my experience that change occurs when one is feeling both supported and challenged. I try to provide both. Please feel free to contact me and we can talk about how I can be helpful.

Something that sets me apart from other therapists is my fresh perspective and enthusiasm to help others. I am qualified to work with a wide range of people, but I specialize in working with people who wish to connect with themselves and explore how past experiences, relationships with others and their sexuality form their identity. My passion for understanding how people think, feel and interact with others led me to the field of psychotherapy.

Entering therapy is courageous. It can be a transformational space, a bridge from suffering to the discovery of choices that enable people to actively engage life. Depression, anxiety, fear and difficult feelings are not indicative of sickness, but rather signals that call for self-care, curiosity and empathy. I believe people's strengths are integral in the therapeutic process; I seek to help people access their humor, resilience, courage, intelligence, sensitivity and honesty throughout the healing process.

I’ve found that a key to feeling better, ironically, is learning to feel bad; learning how to feel and accept painful feelings with less judgement, fear, and struggle. Unfortunately, for those with attachment difficulties, these tools and skills may feel completely out of reach. Attachment wounds can prevent us from feeling whole, connected, and accessing deeper meaning and vitality. I work best with individuals who may have had exposure to skill-based therapies, but are now looking for something beyond symptom management.

It is often difficult to be one's unique human self. How wonderful you have the courage to propel hope for deep and lasting change for your emotional struggles. Adults in individual and couples therapy deserve to experience loving relationships, and freedom from anxiety, depression, trauma, ADD, and one's idiomatic patterns of difficulty. When your strengths come to the fore, problems loosen their hold, creating the possibilities of you consistently being lovingly in charge of your own life. When your inner life is enriched, you increase possibilities for more abundance. Your private education becomes a great overall investment.

While we may not always have control over all aspects of our lives, we have control over how we choose to react, how we make meaning of our situation, and most importantly how we grow from the challenges presented to us. I work with adults throughout the lifespan, from young adults to older adults, in an individual and group therapy setting. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, identity development, life transitions, and navigating relationships. I love working with clients who recognize the need for change in their lives and are motivated to work towards bettering their relationship with themselves and others.

I support young adult women who are working through anxiety, queer/bisexual women's identity issues, and low self-compassion. I can help you build your toolbox of coping skills to experience greater freedom from anxiety in your daily life. If you are questioning or early on in the process of discovering their sexual orientation, I offer a safe, supportive space for you to process at your own pace and to consider issues like coming out. For bisexual women, I can support you in building confidence and navigating the complexities of feeling out of place in both queer as well as straight spaces.

I work with children and adults who are seeking stability through life events and stressors. My clients are ready to approach change and healing with a clinician who understands their hesitation and uncertainty. Life transitions and unexpected events can activate parts of us that feel disorganized, fearful, and lost. You don’t have to figure out the hardest moments of your life alone. I can be reflective and curious alongside you through these life transitions that often can be hard to navigate.
