Are you struggling? Starting to think that depression or anxiety will never stop? I’m passionate about supporting folx who transcend “norms” through their unique experience. I'm especially interested in supporting LGBTQ+ and disability-identified folks. My approach is warm, curious, trauma informed, & relationship-centered. I view my role as a psychotherapist as a co-explorer – I walk alongside you as you navigate your authentic experience of this world. Everyone’s entitled to strut their full peacock. Part of life is figuring out what that means to you.

Whether this is your first time considering therapy or you've had experience with it in the past, finding a therapist that feels like a good fit is paramount to making progress in therapy. Maybe you've stumbled on this page because you are struggling with depression/anxiety, are experiencing relationship conflict, or perhaps you've been recommended by someone you trust. While neither of us will know if we are a good fit until we've had a chance to meet, I would like to share a little about my work as a therapist.

You may be seeking therapy to process, cope with, or make sense of a challenging life transition. Perhaps you are looking for a space to reflect on past and current relationships, and to better understand yourself and others. Maybe something just feels "off," and you can't quite put a finger on what it is. In therapy, we will work together to put down what is heavy, unpack what has been bottled up, and explore possibilities that may offer you change or relief.

I have been working with individuals, couples and groups for over 25 years. I see psychotherapeutic work as a collaborative process in which we thoughtfully consider the past personal history and how that impacts present feelings and behaviors. In a therapeutic environment of safety and compassion, we explore how to use that information to construct healthy relationships and a satisfying life. Recently, I have been working with Animal Assisted Psychotherapy. My 9-pound Shih-Tzu dog, Stella, is certified as a "Pet Partner" and she is in all individual, couples and group sessions assisting in the therapeutic process.

I work with clients to develop self-awareness, and reflect on how they developed their beliefs and behaviors that contribute to difficulties in their lives. I also help clients develop realistic behavioral goals for lifestyle changes, explore family of origin dynamics, and work toward introducing healthy changes in your relationships. Additionally, I work with parents of teens struggling with their mental health using Emotion Focused Family Therapy. This skills-based approach helps parents emotionally connect with their teens in order to help promote their child's well-being.
