Relationships are magical. They are also hard work. Just when you thought you'd found your person, the intimacy and joy gives way to new depths of disconnect and loneliness. Or perhaps you're a new parent, excited by the unique possibility of bonding as a family, only to discover overwhelm, even suffering. Trauma can create additional barriers to connection. Attachment issues and difficult childhood relationships can result in reenactments of past relationships and roles that are just plain exhausting. Sound familiar? Then its time for change.

I offer individual and relationship therapy on a wide array of topics. You are the expert in your life, and my goal is to create an accepting, non-judgmental environment, which offers you the opportunity to explore patterns and behaviors that no longer benefit you. My passion is helping people recognize that they are their own greatest resource.

I offer warm, compassionate relational and individual therapy. I particularly love helping to strengthen relationships, improve sexual intimacy and function, and explore creativity or identity. Do you wish your intimate connections were stronger? Are you struggling with who you are, want to be, or are expected to be? Do you have health issues, belief systems, or relationship challenges that create blocks to sexual expression? Are you experiencing a loss of passion or sense of disconnect with someone you love? Does your life feel less creative or zesty than you would like? I would love to help!

You are amazing. Together we can create a map for your unique journey of experiences and change. I am an open and accepting, culturally competent, sex positive, compassionate and creative counselor. My approach is tailored to individual client's or couple’s needs. I have an emphasis in Rogerian, emotionally focused, cognitive behavioral, and narrative therapies. I work with people from late adolescence through older adult.

You are frustrated and worn out. Maybe you're struggling in your relationship — you keep having the same fight, and feel unheard and stuck. (Or you're not fighting, because you're more like roommates than romantic partners.) Or maybe you've always held it together pretty well, but you're finally realizing how anxiety, trauma, or that unkind inner critic has been subtly (and not so subtly) affecting you, keeping you from getting the most out of life. Whether it's been weeks, months, or years, you know don't want want to feel this way forever.

I work with Adolescents, Women (Binary & Non-Binary), Couples, and Families. My primary areas of focus are on Eating Disorders, Body Image, Trauma Recovery, Anxiety, Communication Skill Development for Couples, and those living with a Chronic or Terminal Diagnosis. Each person is unique, which is why I tailor my therapeutic approach so that it is appropriate and respects the individuality of each client. My goal as your therapist is to assist you in navigating your mental health journey while honoring your individual beliefs and integrating the strengths you bring into the therapy room into our work together.

I love being a therapist and having the privilege of helping people heal, grow, and discover (or re-discover) their purpose in life. It takes tremendous courage to share with another person what you want to change about yourself. I feel that my role is to be a compassionate guide and facilitator to help you learn about yourself, your roots, your helpful and unhelpful personal habits and patterns with others. I use art, music, psychodrama, dreamwork, intuition and active listening to help you challenge yourself and become the sort of person you want to be in the world.

I offer a calm and compassionate presence for all of my clients. I am welcoming, and genuinely interested in understanding my clients so that I can support them to live their best life. I view counseling as an aid in your self-exploration and understanding, and prioritize developing a trusting relationship with my clients in order to be most effective in our work together. I provide therapy for teens, adults, couples, and families. My specialties include: relationship issues, mindfulness practices, life transitions/changes, personal identity, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma-informed care.

As a counselor, I so value the healing potential of human connection. Emotion and suffering are natural reactions to life, and the ability to sit with and process life’s challenges with another person can be a gift. Sharing moments of loss, shame, joy, and disappointment can lead to stronger self-acceptance and connection with others. I strive to be welcoming, open, and empathetic to all clients who walk through the door. It is my job to create a safe space for individuals of diverse identities, backgrounds, and cultures, and to notice when my own perspective and biases are hindering the therapeutic relationship.

As a counselor with over 20 years of experience, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan with diverse backgrounds. With an emphasis on supportive emotional counseling and a healthy dose of behavior change strategies, I have enheartened people to address a variety of concerns. Using a quiet, hopeful manner, I work with each individual to rekindle belief in themselves., facing life's problems and enjoying its pleasures with emotional confidence. Through frank discussion with a compassionate counselor, my clients discover inner and outer resources that help them thrive.
