If it is time to reorient your life course, allow me to assist you. My goal is to assist you in establishing inner peace. I view counseling from a tripartite approach where I assist my clients with self-awareness, gaining knowledge, and developing skills that may assist them with strategies to manage effectively and successfully the various transitions experienced in life. I believe people long to live lives that reflect harmony between their thoughts and their actions. Many times, stress and distress complicate this effort.

I am pro-you in whatever way you show up–your gender identity, sexual orientation, justice system involvement, relationship style, body size and physical ability, race and ethnicity, and unique way of experiencing and interacting with the world are welcome and celebrated here! I am affirming of neurodiversity and dissociative identities, and I believe that you are the expert on yourself and your experiences. I love working with the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent folks, dissociative systems, and people who have experienced trauma.

Are you trying to learn more about yourself and how you can best navigate your world? Are you exploring all parts of your identity and what makes you "you"? I have focused primarily on identity-related challenges, including Gender/Sexuality exploration, Race/Ethnic identity concerns, Religious/Cultural trauma, and Sex/Intimacy issues. I also have experience helping clients navigate issues related to depression, anxiety, and ADHD/Neurodivergent disorders. I'm here to be a collaborative and warm therapist who isn't going to throw a therapy book at them but instead wants someone who sees them as human beings walking through life.

Is something keeping you from being your best? We all have great value and the ability to achieve great things. Sometimes, the burdens of this life, including past trouble, negative thinking/emotions, difficult circumstances, poor choices and lack of support can hold us back from reaching our potential. I believe my role as a counselor is to help others be more aware of their own strengths and abilities, so they can set and achieve positive goals. I believe in welcoming people with unconditional acceptance and support, and helping them work through difficulty to build and execute a plan to become the best version of themselves.

In my practice I offer a space for you to say what cannot be said anywhere else. It is an unconditional welcome to speak what is most real for you; and to speak freely, fully, and without censorship. Dreams, fantasies, memories. Ruptures and traumas. Experiences of love and sexuality as lived in your body and relational bonds. Crises, complaints, and all of the repetitions that happen again and again. These formations (and more) we raise to the dignity of what is most unknown and alive within you. Read deeply into yourself and articulate the 'other scenes' between the lines of lived experience.

Waitlist for new clients
Trauma can affect us in ways we are not always aware of. Healing can help us in ways we never knew were possible. Stressful and distressing life events can leave us feeling alone, wounded, anxious, sad, or angry. Until the trauma is healed, we may continue to stay stuck. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults (ages 14+), who are struggling with PTSD, C-PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Self injury, Suicidality, Grief & Loss, OCD, Anger, and other uncomfortable emotions. By treating the potential trauma that lies beneath the surface, I can help you find peace and healing.

Currently accepting new clients with daytime availability. It's okay to not be okay. We are living in a very strange time and we are all just doing the best we can. You might feel paralyzed because it seems like everyone else has it more together than you do. You are having to balance more, take on roles you don't want. You feel overwhelmed and uncertain and it feels like you cannot get a break. In this new world of staying at home and physical distancing, finding creative ways to maintain meaningful connection is critical.

I work with individuals who are navigating difficult seasons of life, seeking support in processing painful events and challenges and in finding the best next steps to take. I assist clients with adjustment to stressors and life transitions, depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, grief and loss, self-criticism, shame and self-doubt. My greatest passion in this work is helping clients to identify their strengths, recognize their own worth and develop a stronger and more compassionate sense of self. In doing this, it becomes easier for clients to process pain, learn new skills and pursue their goals.

The beauty of life can be hidden by the demands of time and resources. Thoughts of helplessness, frustration, and worry can be difficult to navigate. Constantly thinking about events or feelings that have had major impacts on our lives can prevent us from reaching our goals in life. To me reaching out for help to work through personal difficulties is one of the most important steps a person can take to begin to implement changes. I believe in the authenticity of the therapeutic relationship and how it is a source of strength for change.

My ideal client is introspective, honest, and engaged in doing the work necessary for personal growth. I am passionate about helping others heal from trauma, especially attachment trauma from childhood, and I believe that looking into your past can help you explore how you became the person you are today and grow into the person you want to be.

Counseling is an opportunity to set aside time for yourself to learn how to use your strengths to overcome challenges, and meet your needs and wants. I have experience with client's who have gone through a variety of challenges including; trauma, depression, anxiety, life challenges/transitions, women's issues, parenting and relationship challenges. I also work with parents of children diagnosed with an anxiety disorder using Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE). Using this evidenced based framework I'm able to meet with parent(s) only with the result of reducing their child's (and therefore family's) anxiety.

I have been a psychologist for 35 years and work with clients who are interested in exploring their options in how they live in the world. I see the therapeutic process as a dialogue between two partners in exploration and developing resources. For me choice supports health and that clients sometime come with a lack of awareness of these choices or needing to develop more internal and interpersonal supports. I work in the present moment as well as connecting present patterns to client's history as well as the larger contextual field. My approach is relational and somatic from a Gestalt Therapy base.

We live in a world that breeds anxiety and overwhelm, and sometimes just keeping up can feel like drowning! Whether you’re dealing with relationship issues, substance use, adjusting to motherhood, life transitions, the trap of comparison, anxiety, depression… whatever it is, you are not alone. I’ve spent years exploring and applying the concepts of Bowen Family Systems Theory to my own life, and I know first hand the benefits that this journey can bring. It is an honor to be able to offer the same benefits to others!

As a licensed professional counselor and a board-certified music therapist, I've worked with adults across the age spectrum for 15 years on chronic and progressive illnesses, death and dying, pre-bereavement, and grief. When facing such significant life transitions, it is important that all involved individuals have a compassionate space for processing their experiences and to plan for the future. Using a combination of motivational interviewing, humanism, and Gestalt therapy, we will explore avenues for moving forward in ways helping you feel empowered and emboldened, ready to face the coming journey and the meaning it may bring.
