Working two decades as a therapist, clinical supervisor and business owner, I've developed expertise in marriage, family, individual and child counseling, conflict resolution, anger management, personal development, men's and women's issues. I have 25 years of experience in theater, art and improvisation. This background enables me to incorporate creativity into therapeutic settings. Living in different countries and traveling extensively, I've gained knowledge of different cultures. Experience in business, psychology, the arts and cultural diversity gives me a unique, multi-dimensional perspective for effecting therapeutic change.

Life is hard. Sometimes, life can seem unbearable, especially when difficult events like trauma, loss, or relationship conflicts happen and lead to depression and anxiety. During difficult times, you may believe that you have no choice but to suffer in secret, especially with the continuing stigma of mental health issues. However, I want you to know that you don't have to suffer on your own. Seeking therapy can be a daunting and scary process, and finding the right therapist for you can be difficult and confusing.

Hello and welcome! I am a licensed psychologist with over 40 years of experience. I work with preschoolers, children, adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger management, and identity issues whether they be around sexuality, gender, religion or culture. My years of experience have led me to believe that there is nothing more precious than our emotional and physical health, and the emotional and physical health of those we love.

I understand, it's not always easy to take that first step. Being vulnerable can feel a bit scary--especially if you don't know the person. So let me share a little bit about myself. I have nearly 30 years of experience specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem, eating disorders, and relationship difficulties. I work mostly with adults, couples, and adolescents. As for my clinical orientation, I pull from many disciplines to find just the right fit for my clients' needs. My toolbox includes strategies from EMDR, CBT, Self-Psychology, Inner Family Systems, AEDP, EFT, and Energy Medicine.

"Perhaps strength doesn't reside in having never been broken but in the courage required to grow in the broken places" I believe that pursuing and seeking out help through therapy is an act of bravery. It is my privilege as a therapist to help guide individuals through difficult times in order to help them find meaning and resilience. My experience as both a nurse and a therapist gives me a unique open-minded perspective in empathetically addressing issues for clients in both short and long-term therapy.

Whether you've had a long struggle with your emotions, or just want a little help overcoming a recent difficulty, finding the right person to help makes a big difference. We believe in combining compassion and empathy, with therapies that have been proven to work by clinical researchers. We teach children, teens, and adults effective skills for changing behaviors, and provide the support and encouragement needed along the way. Through this process, you can overcome feelings of depression, isolation, shame, and fear while also building confidence in your strengths and gaining tools to overcome future challenges.

You're here because fully living the life you envision remains out of reach despite your best efforts. You know that something is getting in the way of achieving your passion & purpose.

As a therapist since 1974, I combine the best ingredients of conventional therapies with the speed of the newer "power" therapies (like EMDR & EFT) & an integrative health orientation. The result: you get faster more effective results & better solutions. Free phone consult.

As a Black, queer clinician, I have witnessed the mental health challenges that can arise while existing in environments that do not affirm our identities. My practice is dedicated to uplifting the lives and experiences of historically marginalized communities, including Black and Indigenous People of Color and the LGBTQ+ community. My aim is to promote resilience, empowerment, and authenticity by cultivating an affirmative therapeutic relationship. My work draws from a trauma-informed, intersectional, client-centered framework with the goal of co-creating a supportive container for healing and self-exploration.

My aim is to create a caring therapeutic relationship with my clients that is founded in empathy, trust, and respect.

My approach is relational and informed by a variety of clinical perspectives with an emphasis on self-compassion and tailoring treatment to the individual and their personal goals and strengths.

People come to therapy for a number of different reasons. Maybe you are feeling stuck in old relationship patterns. Maybe there are triggers, anxiety, or difficult emotions that keep you from connecting to what's important. These are heavy things to carry alone. I help clients heal trauma and PTSD, learn how to manage anxiety and depression, and work toward their goals in life. Healing these symptoms allows people to feel a greater sense of peace, experience better relationship satisfaction, and move toward what they value most.

I strive to create a safe, healing space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I am a trained mindfulness meditation instructor and view mental health from an integrated, holistic lens. The most effective therapy is built on an open, collaborative relationship and I am sensitive to your unique needs, culture, and identities. I believe the journey towards authenticity begins with expressing emotions and illuminating insights. I am excited to take the first step in this transformative journey with you! I am committed to my own growth and exploration.
