Among the issues that I work with in therapy are life transitions, depression, anxiety, midlife issues, self-esteem, creativity, aging, stress, grief, relationship issues including LGBT, women's issues, the fear of flying, and the emotional issues that come with Celiac disease. I work with individuals to find new and more positive approaches to the challenges of life. I offer both short-term issue-focused therapy and long-term more depth-oriented work in which you can make better choices rooted in your core values.

I have been working with people for 40 years and look forward to helping clients create healthy relationships with me, themselves and with those in their lives. I enjoy working with individuals from all racial and cultural backgrounds who are motivated to make changes in their lives; to reduce painful reactions; and increase their understanding of what makes them feel happy, strong and self assured. I encourage clients to do homework assignments in between therapy sessions, in an effort to help clients take ownership of their process, and learn coping skills that will last beyond treatment.

Assisting individuals, couples, and families to increase awareness of their own power to heal, sustain, and grow in response to life challenges.

It takes courage to ask for help. I honor you in your pursuit of healing and wholeness. Experience and data show that a strong therapeutic relationship is the key to success in therapy. I endeavor to provide a safe container into which each individual human being who comes for therapy is welcomed. Being met with empathy, respect, acceptance, kindness, understanding, genuineness and non-judgement opens a space where each person can explore their issues without feeling the need to censor or conform. Having another person inalienably aligned with your own deepest Self empowers your unique route to healing and so transformation.

Valuing the therapeutic relationship as primary, I enjoy working with clients at deep structural levels to promote insight, healing and integration. Paramount to this process is bringing awareness and understanding to the ways in which past conditioning and experiences impact how we see and relate to ourselves and others. The goal is to facilitate ever more conscious, authentic and compassionate ways of relating to the self, others and the world. While my foundational training is in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I pull on a variety of techniques and approaches tailored to fit the specific needs of the individual, couple or family.

Welcome. I'd like to let you know how I see therapy. For me it is important to provide a trusting, compassionate and understanding atmosphere so people can feel safe to explore, discover and develop basic qualities and skills necessary to grow and heal. I am a mindfulness, body-based psychotherapist who teaches the profound healing power of heartfelt awareness and how it can help people free themselves from negative and painful thoughts, beliefs and emotions. What I see happening with people who come to me is a belief that if they can control and avoid their pain and suffering it will go away.

Whether you are struggling with relationship issues, mid-life changes, or feelings of depression and anxiety, psychotherapy can be an invaluable tool. Therapy provides a safe environment to heal from unresolved past issues or deal with current life stressors. I am honored to accompany you on your journey to personal growth and wholeness.

In this life there will be hardships, challenges and pain. I understand that we all have a unique story to tell, you do not have to travel this road alone. I believe that as a therapist I am simply a guide to encourage and support each individual to formulate their own solutions to challenges and achievement of goals. The therapeutic atmosphere is one of non-judgment and empathy. Kindness and genuineness are the therapeutic tools I hope to convey as the individual and I travel the road to healing.

As a queer transgender, nonbinary individual with a non-traditional spiritual practice and collaborative approach to my therapy, I know that finding the right therapist is important. Whether in rural situations or in a big city—the therapy room is a space where a client doesn't have to explain or educate a therapist about sexuality, open relationships, polyamory, BDSM, body size, disability, chronic health issues, experiences of oppression, or racism. You are valid. I hold that everyone is an expert of their own life. I am not an expert when it comes to your life.
