My theoretical approach is Person Centered, seeing you as the expert on yourself, and rooted in Attachment Theory which places relationships as central to health and well being. I use a variety of modalities depending on the needs of the client, and enjoy incorporating expressive arts as well as connection to nature as therapeutic tools.

Although my practice is not limited to people who identify as LGBTQIA+, my specialty is working with transgender and gender non-conforming people and helping them address issues such as coming out to family and friends, navigating school or work issues, changing identity documents, and coping with the many social and emotional changes that transition brings. I also understand that transgender is an umbrella term that encompasses many identities and not all people wish to or can afford to medically transition. I meet people where they are and help them navigate where they want to go.

Couples and families struggle with a vast array of challenges. These challenges can cause depression and anxiety and affect even the strongest relationships. Although couple and family relationships can be complex and emotionally charged, I can help you gain insights and clarity that will help you understand and improve your relationships.

I believe we develop our ability to thrive from not only our individual gifts, but also our personal responses to life's challenges. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems and/or trauma. I never underestimate the complexities of the mind, personality, and relationships, and at the same time, I feel psychotherapy should be practical and goal-oriented. I have a thoughtful, compassionate style in addressing the roots of repetitive distress, while keeping in mind that such work must also emphasize alleviation of more immediate distress so you can move forward with your life.

I believe the therapeutic process should include trust and non-judgment as its foundation. Attachment Theory influences my practice. I have 22 years of experience working with children and families who have experienced trauma as well as adolescents and adults who face life stressors. I enjoy working with a variety of needs and populations.
