I'm extremely passionate about helping others live to their truest potential. Life has a way of putting many of us in a chronic fight or flight mode, and I strive to bring people back to their space of equilibrium. That place you go when you close your eyes and think about a life without as much chaos doesn't have to be a mere daydream, we can work together to make it reality.

Everything’s falling apart. You never imagined things could get this bad. It’s hard to know what to do. You can’t even focus long enough to know what your options are. Troubling thoughts about your relationship bounce around your head. You torture yourself about where you are in your career. No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop your thoughts. They attack you from all sides. And the chaos of life joins in to kick you when you’re down. Peace of mind always sits just beyond your reach – taunting you. It’d be great if you could talk to your friends and family about all this. But every time you try, it just makes matters worse.

( ( ( Availability for neurodivergent coaching or mental health therapy. Looking for recently diagnosed/self-diagnosed Autistic/ADHD teens or adults ) ) ) I am a neurodivergent coach and therapist. This means that I am neurodivergent, but also that I work exclusively with neurodivergent people, from a neurodivergent perspective. Neurodivergent means "a brain that diverges from the norm," I use it to refer collectively to Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia – brains that are not ill or broken, but fundamentally wired differently than the average person. If this describes you, then you've come to the right place.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which is considered the gold standard in marriage counseling.
Does it feel like you and your spouse are having the same fight over and over again? These recurring disagreements often provide little resolution, leaving us feeling misunderstood and disconnected. This relationship dynamic is not only frustrating, it starts to impact our own individual happiness and health. I assist couples by helping them step back and view their own relationship dynamic in a way that brings about their true voice and intentions in the moments of anger, blame, disconnection and withdrawal. In this way, each partner can begin to hear and experience one another in a way that builds intimacy, connection and hope.

Calling to make a therapy appointment and then walking into a counseling office for the first time are two of the hardest things for a person to do. It takes courage even to come this far. You have what it takes to complete the journey. (note: I can return email inquiries faster than phone calls)

Perhaps you are struggling with a recent loss, a sudden health crisis, betrayal or conflict with a loved one. Perhaps you have suffered trauma that you have never shared and holding the secret has become burdensome and lonely. Maybe you struggle with depression or anxiety or racing thoughts that keep you up at night. Maybe the old ways you used to cope no longer help and are actually causing you or your loved ones more pain. Our old ways of coping can become self-limiting and cause us to “live small”. We hide our authentic selves, become self-critical and feel powerless to change both our inner experience and our outer situation.

I have always been interested in understanding the world from other people's points of view. My job as a therapist is to understand your story and how your worldview informs the way you react to life stressors. My goal is to help you utilize your own strengths and insight to feel calm, centered, and content in a world that often isn't. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, the LGBTQ/alternative lifestyle community, and I provide sex-positive treatment. A few fun facts about me that you will likely learn if we are working together: I'm a parent to 2 humans and 4 cats, I love to travel, I practice yoga, and I'm a bit of a Swiftie.

Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is pivotal to a beneficial and meaningful experience in therapy. A strong therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change and the strongest predictor of treatment success. My international education encouraged me to adopt a flexible, curious, and inclusive perspective on the factors that contribute to one's identity and difficulties (e.g., religion, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space to support clients' introspective journeys, exploration of identities, and understanding of the self, others, and the world.

In our lives, we will experience many transitions; school, relationships, aging, medical needs, and numerous others. In our current state, Coronavirus is interrupting our lives in a major way and is likely one of our biggest challenges today. This is when mental health can become more difficult to manage. It is not unusual to experience difficult feelings during such times. We may even find that we are having severe anxiety or depression. We can work through these transitions and move beyond them to a better life. It will take work but it can be done.

If you find yourself experiencing problems that defy simple solutions, therapy can provide the caring, confidential conversation that your situation requires. Whether you seek treatment to alleviate anxiety or depression, to improve your experience of close relationships, or to emerge from a rut in your professional life, therapy can assist you in recognizing the connections between your personal history and your present problems—and in so doing, to stop dysfunctional patterns and increase your openness to new experiences. Where indicated or requested, I also provide psychological testing and assessment.

All of us encounter struggles throughout life. At times, those struggles can be overwhelming and challenge our ability to cope. During those times it is difficult and sometimes, impossible, to recognize our own inherent strength. Therapy can allow for a safe space to work through those struggles. I enjoy working with clients in developing self awareness of their own strengths. Together, we can then re-build or construct new ways to cope with life's stressors.

The people I work best with appreciate my love of neuroscience and how brains work, along with my sense of humor and lightheartedness. Often, we feel like something is wrong with us but when we explore our experiences, personality, and needs, what we are experiencing begins to make more sense. Once it makes more sense to us, it’s easier to communicate these things to our loved ones. For many people, this means they can leave behind the weight of what they experienced and transform their suffering into connection.

As a sex therapist, I specialize in treating sexual issues. These often include relationship challenges and sexual problems such as lack of desire/low libido, difficulty with arousal, premature ejaculation and trouble reaching orgasm. Anxiety about sexual performance, lost intimacy, sexual abuse, infidelity, menopause, illness and aging can also interfere with sexual satisfaction. Sex therapy addresses problematic or illegal sexual behaviors, sexual compulsivity, paraphilias and fetishes. Clients benefit from exploring issues surrounding sexual orientation, gender identity, asexuality, polyamory and kink. I am passionate about helping clients overcome the issues that affect their sexuality so that they more fully enjoy life.
