I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor who is committed to helping people create a life that is meaningful for them. My focus is on helping clients discover their authentic self and to replace unhelpful behaviors that no longer serve them. I work to help adults, couples, and families learn skills needed to improve communication, manage anxiety, overcome depression, and implement new ways of managing stress rather than turning to harmful coping strategies.

I believe everyone should be in therapy. There is a true benefit to having a person to talk to who is not personally involved in the outcome and the decisions you choose. I come to each session wanting to connect with you as an individual, identify the things you want, need, and desire out of life and assist in your plan to get where you want to be.

I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA empaths, artists, and magic makers to heal from the trauma of oppression, abuse, and sexual violence and reclaim their power. To embrace their own sacred needs and gifts. And to connect with the power of QT ancestors and community, ecospirituality, creativity, joy, and nourished activism.

I currently have online individual sessions and some limited in person sessions available. Openings range between 9am and 6:30pm. I work collaboratively with clients to process where they are in life, evaluate what their current needs are, and identify what in their past and present could be addressed to make changes towards identified goals. I believe the therapeutic process can only work with dedication and the willingness to allow change. I work with my clients to identify ways that they can bring what we process in session into their everyday life so they have something to work on in between session.

My work is organized around the principle of post traumatic growth (see Tedeschi & Calhoun). Extensive research has demonstrated that those people who have been traumatized who get better change 3 things: relationship with self; relationship with other people; relationship with philosophy or religion. I help the wonderful people who work with me make those changes.

I have availability during morning and evening hours and on weekends as necessary.

We all arrive on this Earth with a plan. Sometimes the plan gets muddled, confusing and scary. Sometimes our labeling of these experiences as “bad” can create stagnation in growth and deny us the insight that we need to stretch into our higher versions of self. When we become aware of this, choice in growth is present. Growth is constant and never ending, especially during challenging times/barriers. However, we only grow when we embrace and feel curious about the uncomfortability. Making space for curiosity allows for integration of wisdom brought by the lessons in our suffering.
