Connection and acceptance allow us to move through life with hope, dignity, and the ability to embrace our authentic selves. I use a range of therapeutic techniques that are responsive to client needs, but my core therapeutic approach is rooted in humanistic practice. Humanistic psychology views people as innately good, unique, and capable of growth. We can work towards healing, change and growth while acknowledging the strengths you already have. A core value I have is making therapy accessible, and so I offer virtual cash fee sessions based on financial need with as little gatekeeping as possible.

Welcome. I am a Clinical Psychologist who approaches counseling as a natural occurrence existing within contemporary life. Sometimes, circumstances can become overwhelming when old tools are not up to the task, or there simply are no tools. I travel respectfully through evolving lives with compassion and humor to address: relationship issues, pain, divorce, transitions, depression, sexual identity, PTSD, anxiety, grief, careers, food, addictions and substance abuse. Whether working short-term or longer, ongoing or intermittent, my clients learn to access their own internal and natural resources, revealing fresh insights that provide the clarity needed to move forward.

Listening to what you say, and to what you don't say is very important to me. I am often told that talking to me was the very first time that a client had their feelings accepted. Helping others honor the unique perspective with which they see the world is the best way to enable a person to trust their feelings, to value their experiences, and to lead a richer life. I do believe that leopards can change their spots!
I consult with psychotherapy and life-coaching clients in my office and also by phone across the country.

The therapeutic relationship is powerful in many ways. I believe that by promoting inclusivity, comfort, and normalization of the shared human experience, I can offer a therapeutic setting that fosters insight and personal growth. However, you know you best. At times, it can put a strain on the therapeutic process if we do not work collaboratively. Together we can create a treatment plan that targets your personalized goals and values, and promotes your overall wellbeing. If you are looking for someone who is open-minded and willing to listen without passing judgement - you've come to the right place.

No one knows your life better than you. But when stress, anxiety and fear overwhelm the brain and body, we can become blocked from our own best solutions. When this happens, it can negatively impact our lives and relationships and compromise our ability to cope effectively. Taking the first step toward positive change often means trusting a professional to help guide you toward solutions that resonate with your personal strengths, goals and abilities. I use humor, compassion and comprehensive clinical understanding to bring focus to how our experiences have shaped us - and what we can do to adapt, change, and thrive.

Finding a new therapist can be a difficult task -- I offer a free consultation to help with the choosing process. In my practice, I respect that people are naturally resilient, even in the face of adversity and world-changing events. However, maybe you need help working through feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, or other unpleasant moods. Perhaps you’re negotiating a transition into or out of a relationship, job, or life phase. You may even be in the process making meaning of events or are exploring nuanced identity possibilities. Whatever the concern, I will listen with compassion, presence, and knowledge.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
