Creating art promotes emotional awareness, reflection and processing of the human experience. The beauty of using art therapeutically is that previous art experience is not required. I'm glad to work with clients who have never made art, or make it every day. Whether you want to work on processing experience and emotion, need mental health support, want to use an integrative mental health approach or just need some time to experience mindfulness and stress management tools, I am here to help you utilize art therapy.

I truly enjoy working with people who come to therapy to explore and heal their relationships with their bodies and mind, and I collaboratively work with my clients to help them decide on goals and focus. I strive to be a guide in helping each person use their own knowledge, wisdom, and connection to find hope, meaning, healing and behavioral change. While the length of time people are in therapy varies greatly, I generally see people for shorter-term courses of therapy, in blocks of 12-16 sessions followed by a break to maximize behavioral change and encourage self-direction in the process, though many people decide to continue on.

Life changes are inevitable. Perhaps the path you are following no longer feels right. Sometimes unexpected changes happen that push us to reconsider the way we live our lives. This may include redefining your identity, changing your employment or relationship status, coming out, or adapting to retirement and aging. Maybe you are looking for a new direction and are not sure which way to go or how to take those next steps. I support individuals throughout the change process – those feeling stuck, embarking on a new endeavor, and those who have made changes in their lives and are dealing with unexpected challenges.

I'd be a good fit if you're motivated, curious, open, flexible in thought, committed to the therapy process, and willing to do hard work. I'll work hard, too. If your needs and goals are to feel calmer, have a more integrated sense of self, feel more secure and confident, to grow and expand your thought processes, to organize past life events, develop/increase spirituality, work towards independence, and promote holistic well-being through the use of evidenced-based techniques and theories, I'd be a good fit! I also love pets. I have 2 dogs & 2 cats. I have training and certification in pet loss and grief. I value all relationships.

I am dedicated to human sustainability. I have an expansive, holistic, and inclusive perspective of humanity and the lived human experience. As a Licensed Psychologist since 1993, I have worked with individuals, couples, families, groups, and organizations motivated to experience well-being, improved relationships, inner peace, efficacy, empowerment, and flourishing. In response to life’s challenges, suffering, and transitions, therapy can offer powerful, transformative healing and forward movement. I strive to create emotional safety for our work together, offering my wholeness of presence to meet your own.

I enjoy building therapeutic relationships and promoting positive changes in people's lives. My clients often struggle with depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, relationship issues, sleep problems, self esteem and confidence. I am especially interested in working with gay identified men and people struggling with phobias or OCD, but love working with all sorts of folks and issues. Working collaboratively with clients, I try to help them find alternative ways of dealing with life's challenges. I believe therapy helps people become more authentic and well balanced version of themselves and not be controlled by anxiety or depression.

Having a space where you can feel comfortable sharing about what life has asked of you and what it is offering you can be powerful. Feeling seen, heard, and understood seems rare these days. Sitting alongside client’s as they navigate seasons of their lives, reflect on past versions of themselves, live within this season and bridge to their future is a blessing.

You're braver than you believe. What if your negative, self-doubting thoughts were replaced with words of compassion, and motivation to live the life you desire? And perhaps they were paired with actions that sync with your values and reinvigorate you? You may be a parent struggling to prioritize care for yourself while raising your children with or without a village. Or the partner in a relationship whose voice always seems to be underheard-your needs overlooked. You may be a successful, determined, perfectionist who can’t turn your mind off at times because the fear of failing/not being enough cannot be silenced. I welcome you.

I enjoy working with couples and individuals of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting issues, and relational challenges such as infidelity. I consider much of what I do to be allowing client's to gently and curiously grow in their ability to reflect on the stories they have formed about their journey. I have a great deal of gratitude for the deep, sometimes painful, places my clients allow me to explore alongside them. Regardless of where you find yourself, I would be honored to sit with you.

While we are capable of managing a lot, sometimes we may feel too sad, too scared, too tired, or too lonely. This can make having a relationship, family, school, work, or just living that much more overwhelming. Life is also full of surprises and you might be going through changes that feel too daunting or even devastating. You might have struggled for a long time or just recently. Despite your best effort, you still feel quite stuck, helpless, confused, or frustrated. You might even know what you need or want to do differently, but not so sure about where or how to start. This is a great start and I am so glad we found each other.

Considering therapy is courageous! I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and validating space for couples, individuals, and families to gain clarity about unhelpful patterns, get support as they work through emotions that are tough to feel and even tougher to share. I hope to help clients build a solid emotional intelligence tool kit to respond more intuitively to themselves and more effectively to the people around them. I believe that in the face of life’s challenges, people are capable of change and of living their best lives. My hope is that you will be empowered to believe that, too.

Finding the optimal therapeutic fit is a bit like going on a blind date... you hope for the best and prepare for the worst. People who think I'm a fit are often high-achieving individuals with an acute awareness of the issue, feel they have tried "everything" to fix it, and are giving therapy “one last chance.” I successfully get clients “unstuck” by challenging them in unconventional, collaborative ways. I intentionally push people 20% past where they are comfortable (because that’s where the growth happens!) and practice pivoting to ensure you have the skills to navigate, manage, and address the discomfort long-term.

I'm here to offer fresh perspective, clarity, & hope. Most of our energy is spent balancing expectations and disappointments and reacting to the wants/needs of others. We all come to counseling with a unique experience, but most of us rarely take the time and energy to figure out our own needs, mentally & emotionally. Counseling is a powerful tool to help you 'level up' and a way to create space for peace and calm in our busy lives. It gives you an impartial person to talk to without judgement. I want to help you reach your goals, and to bring insight and healing where you feel overwhelmed, or have had trauma, chaos, or confusion.

NOTE: I am not currently accepting new clients. There are so many times in our lives when we are asked to adapt. Whether it's transitioning to a new school or job, changing relationships, parenting through different stresses and stages, managing Anxiety or Depression so that you can best enjoy your life, or just figuring out who you are and how you want to be in this world. Participating in therapy almost always means change, and I enjoy supporting people as they explore this change, learn new strategies, and work to grow.

Participating in therapy takes bravery, humility, and strength and I applaud you for taking the first step towards personal growth and healing. I have spent the last fifteen years working with individuals struggling with mental health challenges in a variety of settings including schools, day treatment, residential, and inpatient hospitalization. While I enjoy working with a variety of populations and issues, I am particularly passionate about working with young adults, adults, and couples seeking to improve relationships, process life transitions, and increase personal alignment.

Research and experience tells us that effective therapy is predicated on a truly meaningful relationship between client and therapist. I am confident that I can provide a time and space where you will feel understood, accepted, cared for, and appropriately challenged to change. I work primarily with young adults who are struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, divorce, separated and blended families, life transitions, sexual health and sexual identity, alcohol and chemical abuse issues, conflicted family relationships, attachment issues, and emotion and behavior management.

Therapy is an exploratory and learning process. If you feel stuck, frustrated, and wonder "Why can't I fix this?," you are not alone. "Fixing" implies brokenness. Perhaps, it is not about "fixing," but making changes to be more effective in life. My goal as a therapist is to bring compassion to you and foster a sense of empowerment. I believe in our ability to change and resiliency that we all share. This is your healing journey toward meaning. I am here to walk side by side with you. Thank you for taking the first step.
