Hey, I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out can feel so overwhelming and I'm impressed you're willing to take care of yourself this way. I'm passionate about supporting adults and children navigating depression, anxiety, mood cycling, ADHD, and gender, as well as stressors such as recent and past traumas, life changes, family conflict and behavioral issues. I understand how these challenges can make us feel isolated at times and impact family, community, work and school relationships. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally and affirming therapist.

Let's get you feeling better! TY for taking the time to consider me as your therapist and welcome to your safe space. I work with individuals who have been in domestic partnerships where one exhibits emotionally abusive behaviors: i.e. manip., blame, gaslighting, plays the victim AND persecutor, obligates, fear (real or imagined), and guilt etc.; a unique situation that requires a professional's help. I invite you to peruse my website and ask me any questions you might have. I also work with those experiencing anxiety, depression, family problems, and adjusting to life circumstances. I also have a team of therapists who can help!

Welcome. :) Most of my clients are both intelligent, as well as somatically empathic. They care about growth towards greater health and balance, relationally and professionally. They often have traumatic backgrounds. From a body felt and practical sense, they would like to feel met, seen and valued, as is true of most all of us. I work from a calm, clear, non-judgmental posture, offering the gift of warm and fun, compassionate presence to you manifest your intentions. I am in my mid-50's, like to kayak, dance, read, write, swim, puzzle, and hang out seaside for sunrise, and lakeside for sunsets. I would love to support you soon.

As a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring a passion for problem-solving and a deep commitment to supporting individuals on their journey of self-discovery and growth. I specialize in creating a safe and empathetic space where clients can openly explore their feelings and experiences. With a keen understanding of the intersectionality of identity, I approach therapy with a holistic perspective, acknowledging how various aspects of one's identity shape their worldview and experiences. I excel in building meaningful connections with clients, quickly establishing trust and rapport.

The most influential piece of healing is connection and sometimes you don't need a cure, you need a witness. A witness who validates your current and past struggles while helping you grow through the discomfort. A witness that does not try to "fix you" but gives you the tools to grow. A connection with a therapist could be the missing piece of your healing journey. I have experience working with a variety of people from those who have survived trauma to those who need support with daily life stressors.

Life stories are all unique and creative. These stories are a chapter (individuals) of a book (family) so I work with kids and adults. Each reflects why our role here is so important but with this story comes challenges which create emotions; emotions that can hurt yet make us feel alive. My hope is travel back through your story whether young or older with you. My playroom is a place where a child 3+ can use play to work through everything from daily living to focus/attention issues to traumas. Depending on the age of the child or adult it can impact how we journey through their story and what modality it needs to express itself.

I know how difficult it can be to ask for help, but you have ran out of options and what has worked before is no longer working. If you're wondering if therapy could benefit you, you could ask yourself, "Why do people seek therapy?" Whether you’re an individual, or family with children experiencing a difficult life event/transition that has caused you to feel stuck, therapy can help you discover the choices you truly want to make, even when you’re faced with challenging decisions. No matter the circumstance, you do not have to tackle it alone and I’d be happy to help!

Don't over-think therapy. It's just not that complicated. When things get difficult, it's often hard to ask for help. We all face challenges, and we often overcome them on our own. Sometimes it takes much longer than we'd like, and that's when therapy comes into play. Why spend months or years taking on a situation or challenge by yourself, when you could work through it in far less time? Insanity is doing the same things, over and over, and expecting different results. Try something new, and break those old patterns.

Life can feel overwhelming and exhausting. You are seeking balance and calm in your life so that you can be the person that you have always wanted to be. You have tried other ways of coping, but you have now taken the courageous step of finding meaningful and intentional ways of achieving those goals. I believe in you, and I’m here to help you.

You are feeling that you’ve tried everything you can think of to feel peace in your life again. You aren’t even sure how you’ve gotten here, but you know you are here, looking for help outside of yourself to figure this out. You are frustrated, confused, overwhelmed, and exhausted. I am here to help you not only work on the issues at hand, but help you to uncover the core reason why you are no longer feeling like yourself. I am here, I get it, and I am passionate about helping with any and all issues that arise in the lives of my clients.​

Using cognitive behavioral theory, I provide a person-centered and collaborative approach to therapy. You and I will work together to identify current patterns of thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you. Together, we will create a plan to help you rediscover your existing strengths, develop new coping skills and strategies, and boost your ability to navigate the challenges you're facing. Finding what brings you peace, joy and fulfilment - we will empower you to create the life you want.
