Emotions require movement and at times when we find ourselves stuck, it is helpful to have support to find our path forward. If you're struggling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or simply want to live a more fulfilled life, you don't have to suffer alone. I believe in the power of the therapeutic connection, and offer a supportive space for vulnerability and growth to help you live your most fulfilled life.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Recent years have been a mental health challenge. If you're anxious, overwhelmed, fatigued, you are not alone. Stress is a normal response, and you can't self-care your way out of oppressive circumstances. Times may feel more hopeful, but it doesn't always erase the accumulated stress and grief of grievous events. Your survival and stability are important: you deserve to live. This world is for you just as much as it is for anyone! We can find ways to reduce your stress and help you feel more anchored, stable, and hopeful.

I work with people who want to reclaim the story of their lives. Some of us lost years living someone else's narrative- -but it's never too late to become yourself. You can determine the genre of story you live in, the type of protagonist you become. I try to help people deal with the excitement that comes with infinite potential and the dread that comes with infinite choice.

I believe we thrive when we experience belonging acceptance. I came to this profession with the mission to connect the gap between LGBTQ+ persons who are interested in counseling and mental health professionals who can affirm their identity.

As a licensed clinical social worker with more than 40 years experience of working with families and individuals of all ages, I find that the most effective approach is one that is strengths-based with a strong emphasis on helping clients solve the problems that bring them to me for therapy and also on helping them develop powerful resiliency characteristics that allow for future problem-solving, conflict resolution, goal-attainment, wellness, and life satisfaction. My ideal client is one who likes to learn. Trauma survivors, in particular, do well with this approach.

I enjoy helping people to live in wellness and wholeness. I think the therapy relationship is critical to being able to work as a team to accomplish that. I always hope to collaborate with my clients to set therapy goals and design a plan to achieve them. My focus is on providing a therapy setting in which people can learn new skills to cope with difficulties, recover from trauma, adjust to life's challenges, and improve their functioning. I approach therapy from a cognitive-behavioral perspective but use other approaches as needed to assist clients to reach their goals.
