Hello & welcome, friend. I am truly glad you are here. I enjoy working with all people but specialize in working with clients with trauma histories who feel disconnected from their bodies, have a hard time feeling their emotions, being vulnerable & are unable to 'disarm' & connect with others. Utilizing a person centered, queer feminist lens, I weave EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with somatic body experiencing, storytelling, parts work, imaginative play, guided imagery as well as expressive and mindfulness practices to promote internal growth within my clients.

With over 20 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I am able to offer clients the unique perspective of having worked in a wide variety of settings, addressing many different issues. I see my role as a collaborator with clients, working together to ease suffering and to achieve change. It is important to be a good and empathetic listener, as well as to also actively facilitate growth and change. I will work with you to identify your current challenges and needs in order to establish goals for treatment.

If you are looking for a therapist with a blank, neutral face who gives an occasional "mhm" while you vent for 50 minutes, I'm not your guy. If you're looking for a guide who'll work alongside you, support you, but also be realistic and direct with you when needed, I think we would make a good team. My goal is to empower my clients to find the tools and strategies they already have within themselves, cutting through the noise and bringing those to the surface. I firmly believe in a mutually honest and direct therapeutic relationship. I will be direct with you throughout our session, and I ask you to be equally as direct with me.

Accepting children, teens, adults, and couples. Sometimes our day-to-day struggles are indicative of deeper-seated issues. I assist clients in identifying the underlying beliefs, assumptions, defense mechanisms, and thoughts that contribute to current problems. Clients can explore who they are, what they feel, why they have those feelings, and how they wish to move forward. By bringing the subconscious into consciousness, we can be more honest with ourselves and others.

Serving adults, kids, and teens, I know the challenges and transitions we face in life can be overwhelming. It can be so difficult to feel whole and healthy after experiencing hardship, trauma, anxiety, depression, or high levels of stress. If you-or someone you love-is feeling stuck, ungrounded, or overwhelmed, I offer guidance to heal deeply. Using techniques that address body/mind/soul, I invite you to heal in a way that honors all that you are, & all that you've been through. With the right support, the severity of symptoms of ADHD, depression & anxiety, life transitions, grief, or other struggles can be reduced.

Aging can bring a host of new issues such as feelings of isolation after retirement, grief and loss due to deaths of friends and loved ones, and finding new meaning in life after old roles have disappeared. New roles such as being a caregiver for your parents, spouse, partner, adult child, or grandchild can also add stress at this time. Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, addiction, and schizophrenia can continue and sometimes new mental health issues can arise. Health concerns and family dynamics can also make life challenging. Learning how to cope with these challenges and enjoy life is paramount.

My approach as a therapist is to walk alongside clients as they discover their path forward. In every client interaction, my intention is to extend empathy, act genuinely, and offer an accepting environment where clients can feel comfortable and safe to explore their thoughts and feelings. Through the process of therapy, I seek to help clients gain clarity about their current situation, understand what their desired state looks like, and identify the steps they can take to bring about the change they desire.
