I want to help individuals embark on a journey within themselves to discover new tools and insight into working on their hardships. My work is focused on person-centred therapy to empower people to look past their daily struggles and see the forest through the trees. I believe picking a therapist is an essential step on your journey. I offer unconditional positive regard, with the expressed goal of getting to the core of what may influence your daily interactions with others or stressors that interfere with a person's ability to find peace. I believe that everyone can change, and change is like growing a muscle. It takes practice.

NOTE: I currently have a waitlist for new patients (pre-surgical evals may still be scheduled).

I know this is an important step and I hope that the information on my listing can assist you in finding what you need. I am a counseling psychologist with a background in the treatment of anxiety, depression and other common mental health concerns and a specialty in LGBTQI issues. I treat adults, couples (Gottman Method), and children/families seeking support with sexuality, gender and/or an intersex/DSD diagnosis.

Do you miss the easy way you both would listen and understand each other? Would you like your communication to solve problems instead of start conflicts? When you reach out with a need is it answered? The focus of my practice is relationships, for couples, individuals, and families. Finding ourselves in recurring conflicts and stalemates at home can create a hopeless place, accompanied by feelings of anger, confusion, and loneliness. Through therapy, we can learn to communicate clearly, state our needs, and rebuild trust. Let's work together to unravel the stuck place you're in and rewrite the script for greater joy and connection.

I specialize in evidence-based mental health care for children, adolescents, and their families. Offering a safe and welcoming space where youth feel supported and accepted is one of my primary goals as a therapist.

Through positive affirmation, encouragement, and praise my clients work to build self-compassion and acceptance, learn new skills, and embrace progress-one session at a time.

I am a psychologist specializing in ADHD assessment and CBT for anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, and depression. Anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, trauma, and depression can feel both distressing and debilitating. If you have tried to manage your anxiety on your own and found that relief often feels temporary, with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or distressing memories eventually returning, an approach that addresses long-term symptom management could help. In therapy with me, we will work to build skills that can help you find lasting relief with therapies that are empirically proven to work, including CBT, PE, and ERP.

Although the desire for romantic intimacy is perfectly natural, long term intimate relationships are rarely naturally perfect. For over 30 years I have dedicated my professional life to helping individuals and couples fine tune their not-always naturally perfect relationships. Although I am a clinical psychologist who continues to treat individuals suffering from the full spectrum of psychological disorders, most of my career has been devoted to working with individuals and couples experiencing marital, relationship, and/or sexual concerns; to assisting couples seeking relief from the trauma of infidelity; and to treating individuals suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder or anger control issues.

Struggling with the past intruding into the present? Trauma, whether we’ve lived with it for decades or days, tends to reverberate through our lives in powerful and often unpredictable ways. Feeling worn down by a society where your humanity is a matter of public debate? It’s tough for queer and trans people to find time to be vulnerable when our identities are under attack. Are you an activist running low on steam? Collective liberation is critical to changing the social conditions that cause our suffering, but caring for our individual mental health needs allows us to challenge those conditions with clear eyes and open hearts.

Do you feel like your anxiety is running (or ruining) your life? Are you considering therapy but not sure where to start?

I've worked with adults, children and families for over 30 years. I believe therapy is a shared journey, where we build on your strengths. We'll develop a safe place for you, as you re-discover lost aspects of yourself. Life is tough and having non judgemental support of an understanding therapist, can help with sensitive areas.

Whether you're looking to make changes in your life, or trying to accept things you cannot change, you deserve a comfortable and safe place to process your feelings. Together we will look at the relationships in your life, your past, and how you narrate your own story. I strive to create a welcoming space for my clients by fostering a relaxed atmosphere, nonjudgmental environment, and humor. I specialize in working with clients who may not enjoy all aspects of therapy. Therefore, if you are uncomfortable with the idea of therapy, I offer creative methods to process difficult feelings.

Do you long to feel more alive, whole, and live from your soul? I believe in the power of therapy to awaken your innate capacity for healing and self-transformation. I will guide you in navigating challenging life transitions and relationships; in mending past trauma(s), and in coming to know and express your core self. With gentle, empathic and clear presence, I support you in developing tools to cope with your painful symptoms, and over time, to explore and heal their roots. I practice from a body-centered and relational approach, attuning to and facilitating interconnections between mind, body, and emotion with my clients.

I believe that feeling heard, understood, and validated is the first step to a therapeutic relationship in which growth to one's potential can occur. Recognition and affirmation of strengths is important to my approach. Being sensitive to an individual's life experience is central. I focus on one's feelings, thoughts, stressors and resources, as well as try to understand the individual and cultural history from which issues evolve. I apply a variety of approaches including mindfulness-based, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic. I have many years of experience working with individuals with a wide array of concerns.

I believe that therapy is an opportunity for deep and lasting transformation. I work with clients to build insight and skills that allow for fulfilling relationships, satisfying work, and deep joy in all aspects of life. I provide psychotherapy for adults experiencing depression, anxiety, family and relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. I have a particular interest in working with folks who identify as neurodivergent, and frequently work with partners of neurodivergent folks who identify as neurotypical.

My areas of strength are relationship building and my compassion and warmth when working with adolescents and adults. I am able to build a sense of strength and hope with clients that I work with in treatment. I have a realistic and reasonable approach in meeting the individual needs of clients. I believe that each person requires personalized treatment and needs to be communicated with throughout the therapy process.
