** ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. EVENINGS & WEEKENDS AVAILABLE** Your experiences have forged lifelong crucial connections and skills that may be hard to see right now. Overwhelming burdens, loss, pain, self-doubt and disappointment can overshadow strengths and relationships. You and I will use your strengths, improve your relationships and develop new skills to build positive ways of thinking and living that can help you reach your goals. My practice areas include anxiety and OCD, complex trauma/PTSD, grief and loss, LGBTQIA issues and chronic pain.
