I love serving the LGBTQ+ community, including letters of support for hormones and surgery.
My wait list is closed. Are anxiety or depression getting in the way of enjoying your life? Or have you gone through a traumatic event that left you with painful thoughts and feelings that won't go away? Perhaps you lived in a difficult family situation growing up, and now find yourself struggling with your mood or your relationships. Maybe there is a part of your identity that has not always found acceptance, and you are looking for an affirming space to explore living your most authentic life. Or you may worry about food and body image constantly. You may feel alone in your concerns, and wonder if anyone or anything can help.

The transitions from child to teen to adult are challenging, and having a coach/mentor/guide on your side can make them so much less intimidating.
I view my role to be as a guide in the journey of recovering access to our inherent capacity for health and psychological wholeness. My approach to counseling is humanistic and depth-oriented; our past informs, but need not limit our present lives. I specialize in IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help clients get acquainted with parts of themselves and reconcile inner tensions. At times I may utilize art-based techniques to provide clients with other languages with which to communicate, as well as resourcing techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches to mobilize individual and family strengths.

I believe everyone deserves to be content/happy in life and in their relationships. At times, this can be challenging and people tend to get "stuck." Asking for help can be hard, but so rewarding when you take the risk to change and build awareness. With professional skills, loads of compassion, and a collaborative effort I can definitely help adults, teenagers, and families in figuring out how to get "unstuck" and enjoy their lives to the fullest. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, grief, depression, and PTSD. I particularly like working with clients, helping them free themselves from the trauma of the past.

Everyday we make choices from the very mundane like what we have for breakfast or which shirt to wear, to the life changing like taking a new job, getting married, or moving somewhere you've never been. However easily these questions (and others) may be answered by some, there are many who have difficulty because the answers are not always so clear. Counseling can help in these moments of uncertainty. Whether it is a few hours of voicing your concerns or several months of assistance, a counselor can help you tackle life challenges more easily.

I work with adolescents and adults. I focus on helping people change unhappy patterns in their lives and find relief from suffering. I primarily utilize a psychodynamic approach which means helping clients gain insight into the dynamics of maladaptive patterns that have evolved in their lives. Gaining insight is often the first step, or the foundation, of positive change. I also do EMDR and parts work to facilitate recovery from trauma.

As a systems oriented psychotherapist,
I believe that we are connected to and affected by those around us. Our families of origin,
communities,cultures,workplaces and families of choice impact our lives and sense of self.
Relationships and experiences we have had in the past influence who we are and how we relate to the world. To live with the greatest joy and productivity we must heal past relational traumas and bring to consciousness effects they have had in our lives. By doing so, we are free to make thoughtful choices about how we live our lives and relate to others.

My style of therapy is warm and down to earth, and my primary goal is to create a genuine human-to-human relationship.

—I have some limited availability at this time.— At different times in our lives, we may find ourselves challenged or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, our relationships, careers, our health, or life transitions. It is during these challenges, that a trusting relationship with a counselor can give the dynamic support, to sort through our thinking, feeling, and patterns of behavior.

Have you been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unhappy, or alone in your life? Chronic stress, life transitions, loss, or emotional pain often leave us feeling helpless over our situations and limit our perspective about how we can move forward. If you feel like you are constantly looking for "more", stuck in your past, have chronic feelings of emptiness or fear about the future, you are not alone. Tackling these problems on your own can be isolating and it is important to find the right support to help you progress toward your goals.

I take an eclectic and person centered approach to counseling, preferring to tailor my approach to the preferences and needs of each client. Some modalities I utilize regularly include: CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, strengths based therapy and integrating techniques from art and music therapy.

My philosophy is that each person has the ability within them to make changes in their life and my job as a therapist is to walk with each client on that journey. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to be able to process trauma that may be interfering with day-to-day life, learn and practice tools to ground and cope when triggers arise and to be able to problem solve in an unbiased place.

From time to time, the complexity of life demands something that overwhelms our usual coping strategies. These challenges can sometimes be brought on by relationships, careers, family, or health. Or perhaps it’s something more connected to our core understanding of the world around us. The meaning we've made from life's past events serves as a template for how we will process each new experience in the future. My goal is to help facilitate an insight-oriented process of understanding why we feel the way we do and provide a source of strength and a healthy curiosity to lead to a better tomorrow.
