I offer land-based therapy. This work entails an embodied experience of healing through a collaboration with nature and myself. I believe wholeheartedly that our wellness is interwoven with the health of our environment and remembering we are also nature. My office is outdoors, on land being stewarded to enhance the prairie ecosystem and support sustainable food practices. A typical session will include mindfulness practices to regulate the nervous system, activity that supports a relationship not just with self, but also connecting to land, typically through gardening and other land stewarding practices.

Therapy is a space where you can explore the full range of your experience and have compassionate witness for whatever arises. Together we can tend to all the relationships of life, including relationship to yourself and the non-human world. We can explore deep longings, desires, and fears. We can bring care and understanding to old patterns to access choice, connection, pleasure, and new ways of being. I am comfortable exploring sexual health topics with clients, including how to have more fulfilling intimate and sensual experiences and increase awareness and acceptance of one's desire and sexuality.

In therapy, I prioritize creating a space where clients can embrace the breadth of human emotions with compassion and respect. I view clients as the experts of their own lives and strive to foster a non-judgmental atmosphere that encourages genuine expression and creativity. My focus lies in supporting individuals and couples who are grappling with PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, parenting challenges, and relationship issues. As a family systems therapist, I explore how external systems (such as culture and family of origin) impact us, alongside our internal attachment patterns and meaning making processes.

I offer holistic individual, family, couples/ relationship, and group therapy.
Healing and caring for ourselves is hard work. Sometimes painful, often fulfilling, occasionally tedious, it is a necessary part of being open to the experiences that life has to offer us. Therapy is one way to find support in healing from trauma, managing our health, and discovering and practicing new ways of caring for ourselves. As Audre Lorde wrote, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." This work is important, both individually and collectively, and I am here to help you with it.

In the words of Thoreau, "Go confidently . . . live the life you've imagined." Do you often wish you were more confident, less anxious, no longer feeling depressed -- or stuck? Would you like to better understand yourself and others? Few things help more in this process than a relationship with a trusted and skilled therapist. With over 30 years experience, I am committed to the highest standards in comprehensive mental health care. I work with individuals and couples to help heal depression, relieve anxiety, reduce stress, improve relationships, process grief and loss, and navigate painful or challenging life transitions.

I love talking about the process of therapy itself to make our relationship stronger and to enhance and deepen our work together.
Are you finding yourself feeling overwhelmed by emotion or seeking out ways to numb yourself? Relationships might make you feel alone or isolated and seeking connections that bring comfort and happiness. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, your inner strengths, resiliency, and capacity for deep joy and meaning. It can feel liberating to work through difficult issues and feel more alive in the here and now. Even in times of great stress and uncertainty, therapy can help build on your unique strengths and resources, to feel more empowered and connected to others and community.

One of the biggest challenges is finding the “right” therapist in a sea with many options and approaches. Building a treatment relationship of connection, trust and understanding between each client and myself is of the utmost importance. I am a seasoned psychologist who is committed to being a guide for my clients as they move through the struggles, fears, anxieties and pain that have held them back in their life and their relationships. Over the last four years I have transitioned to working exclusively in an IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy model; this has been a real game changer in the work I do with clients.

As an experienced perinatal mental health and relationship therapist, I believe healing and connection are possible in life’s toughest challenges.
As a parent and member of the LGBTQ+ community, you face unique challenges and societal pressures that can strain your relationships. You may be fed up with feeling disconnected from your partner(s) and overwhelmed by the challenges of parenthood, feeling isolated and struggling to communicate effectively. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel heard and understood. You’re ready to rekindle the connection and joy in your relationships. Most of all, you’re ready to transform your relationship into a source of strength and support.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
