No current openings. Life can throw many things our way, it is important to know we don't have to navigate those areas on our own. I work with people who have concerns related to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, or other life stressors. My practice is client-centered, meaning my goal is to meet you where you are help you achieve the changes you would like to see. We are all individuals, and the steps to positive change is different for each of us.

I like to incorporate my creative spirit into therapy and I believe people of all ages can increase their self-awareness and express their feelings through movement. I utilize a multifaceted approach to achieve mind-body healing. In my therapy practice, I integrate techniques from EMDR, CBT, play therapy, and trauma-responsive yoga. I am passionate about tailoring my approach for each individual and couple, and I strive to make therapy a positive and impactful journey.

Everyone has a story, and each story is different and deserves to be told. Our stories at times can be filled with unexpected and sometimes overwhelming challenges that affect each of us in different ways. Through my own personal and professional story, I have discovered that building a supportive relationship through therapy creates a safe place to explore life struggles, understand difficult issues, develop new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations to lead a more authentic life.

Over the years I've worked with clients related to life transitions such as career/job challenges, relationships, family dynamics, loss, anxiety and depression. When these detours are a part of your path, you may lose your sense of direction or question your destination. I believe we all have the capacity to better manage our struggles and the potential to feel better ... a lot better!

Every person’s life is a journey that will involve milestones, missteps, detours, and the occasional derailment. We all encounter obstacles - some of our own making, some provided by others. Navigating that path authentically requires self-awareness and self-understanding and sometimes the guidance and support of a fellow traveler. My role is to foster clarity and healing, to make room for life stories to unfold - as they are meant to - not empty of pain or conflict but instead filled with meaning.

I work with individuals that are wanting to know themselves better and/or want to make changes to better their life. I generally work with a wide variety of concerns and have special interests in psychological assessment, ADHD, trauma, and vocational concerns. Honoring the client’s unique multicultural identity is something I give special attention to in order to better understand how self-critical beliefs develop and how we can challenge those beliefs with respect to your personal and cultural values.

I see Gen Xers and millennials (27+ years old) who are high achieving in their careers but think they aren’t “good enough.” Many feel unfulfilled at work and are wondering about career changes. They feel worn out and stressed by their fast-paced lives. They put others' needs ahead of their own, which means they don’t have energy left to care for themselves. They long for an internal sense of grounded confidence and want to live intentionally. I'm a queer psychologist, and many of my clients are also part of the LGBTQ+ community.

I use 35+ years of DIRECT clinical experience to help in addressing issues that have become obstacles in your life and help you meet your goals in the context of an honest, caring, and direct professional relationship. Individuals, couples/relationships, addictions/substance abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, aging, sexuality, and sexual 'orientation' issues, as well as family matters are among the range of aspects of people's lives with which I effectively work. Counseling may be brief/problem-oriented, or extended/depth psychotherapy depending on your needs. I enjoy individuals, couples, and seniors. Psychotherapy is my calling!

Your life is amazing in so many areas, yet you can’t seem to get your anxiety to step aside and let you live your life to the fullest. You worry, your mind races with directionless thoughts, you’re distracted, and you’re too often irritable. Those awkward moments replay in your head and endless fears play and replay in your head. Then this presents challenges for you and your relationships. Maybe the anxiety is even coming from your relationships. Either way, let me help you come up for air. I know there is a lot on your plate, and these constant struggles with your thoughts, feelings, and moods are the last thing you need.

As an outpatient mental health therapist, my interests are virtually anything and everything a client (individually, as a couple, or as a family) brings with them into session. This may include previous traumatic experiences, current stressors, and future goals. All of these have a place in therapy, and my goal as a clinician is to help my client determine what it is they want to work on and get out of therapy, then guide them through their journey.
