I have over a decade's worth of experience assisting diverse populations of children, adolescents, teens in crisis, adults, couples, families and individuals with advanced illnesses in managing and overcoming a wide array of issues including: emotional, physical and sexual abuse; trauma; adjustment difficulties; emotional, behavioral and relational disturbances; substance abuse; and gender/sexuality issues. Through my experience and training I have gained a strong understanding of diverse identities, including gender and sexual identities, as well as sexual and relational issues. Therefore, I am able to provide gender therapy for transgender and gender-expansive individuals from a non-pathological perspective.

Life is a series of choices and decisions that often lead us to uncharted destinations and exciting opportunities. Sometimes this can feel overwhelming and obstacles may occur to block our path or keep us stuck and unable to seize the opportunities within our reach.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards a healthier, happier life! I am a believer that the goal of therapy is to not need it any longer - so we'll begin talking about what you want your life to look like at the end of treatment on day one. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. I often use humor in my sessions - a little bit of laughter can be necessary to balance the heavy topics we'll cover together. I believe in targeting the root causes instead of treating just the symptoms so that you can enjoy long lasting improvements.
