Do you need a relationship expert who can help you and your partner(s) feel closer, work through conflict, and communicate better? Are you looking for a queer therapist who's LGBTQ+ affirming and knows the ins and outs of working with queer people? Are you stuck in old patterns and need help working towards attachment security, self-compassion, coping skills, and empowerment? As a licensed, PhD-level therapist, I have years of experience working with couples, individuals, and families across diverse backgrounds to overcome challenges. Providing compassionate, affirming therapy is important to me personally and professionally.

My primary goal is to help restore the power of the individual, to the individual. It is difficult to create ourselves to our true self until we uncreate the thinking and believing that is causing our distress because "whatever we resist, persists." To empower those I work with to see acceptance as a possible way out of their distress by realizing their true control in any given situation. This begins to uncreate the old thinking and responses that lead to further distress. To help those heal to freedom by removing danger, not increasing it, by providing effective tools of creation through improved thought, word and action.

No matter how capable and resilient we are, at times we are faced with challenges that require professional help. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy. I offer a client-centered, strength based approach to therapy. I help clients identify their thinking errors and behavior patterns that are causing harm and standing in the way of them accomplishing their goals. I have experience working with people who face depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, ADHD and other issues. I currently work with adult clients (18 yrs old and up).

Do you ever struggle with feeling you are not good enough? No matter how many things you have to be grateful for in your life there is still a part of you that feels less than? Do you feel like you have no idea who you are, or how to love yourself more? Maybe you are in a mid life crisis and are trying to figure out who you are now that the kids don't need you every minute of the day. Maybe you have spent years talking about how you want to fix things, but no matter how much you do nothing seems to be different.

As a therapist, I can help clients meet their goals by actively listening to their needs and understanding their unique perspectives. This involves creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. By employing empathetic listening, I can identify their underlying concerns and aspirations, which allows me to tailor therapeutic interventions to their specific situations. Additionally, I will collaboratively set realistic and attainable goals with the clients, ensuring that these objectives are aligned with their values and desires.

I work with people who are unsure about therapy or who have had a bad experience in the past. My goal is to be the last therapist my clients see. Someone they feel comfortable with, who understands them, who is honest and authentic always, and who helps them develop tools to address and work through mental health issues. Using a mix of evidence-based therapy methods and coaching techniques, I help clients get out of the endless loop of trying to fix what's broken and instead get to work on building a fulfilling life. You'd be shocked at what a difference that simple perspective shift can make.

Accepting new clients. When starting therapy, you may wonder what to expect. Each client brings their own unique experiences, values, and strengths to therapy. Therapists also have their own unique style of providing treatment or certain techniques they rely on. It is important to find a therapist that you “click” with. My approach tends to center on building a trusting therapeutic relationship between us that emphasizes the client as the expert of their lives. Research shows that strong therapeutic alliances can predict positive outcomes in therapy.
