My experience spans the developmental spectrum from 4 to older adults ranging from divorce adjustment, school issues, and social concerns for children, to depression/anxiety, bereavement, life transitions, etc.
We all find ourselves in circumstances at one time or another that call for adjusting to change or making decisions, whether it's charting a path through grief and loss, developmental transitions, job loss, recovering from trauma or the challenges of parenting. Therapy can be helpful in sorting through confusing thoughts and feelings, gaining insight, establishing a course of action amongst different choices, and building confidence through experiencing a deeper understanding of yourself, all in the context of a caring relationship.

I am especially interested in working with people living through depression, anxiety, life changes, postpartum challenges, adjustment to parenting, birth trauma, sexual trauma, and secondary trauma as well as people practicing polyamory and non-monogamy.
Life is wild, being a person is hard and everyone deserves support. I am a Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals (18+), couples and polyamorous partners. As a writer and former journalist, I am compassionate, nonjudgemental and curious. I see beauty and humor in the hard and I believe our struggles can help us find meaning, build connections and foster growth.

I teach and consult to other clinicians about the effect of trauma, and have a pretty good track record working with people who deal with flashbacks, anxiety, and dissociation.
In my experience, things can start getting better fast, long before the problem is solved. Rated in the top 1% of psychotherapists on LinkedIn, I'm warm, practical, experienced & hard-working. I'll help you tackle problems related to trauma, difficult childhoods, bad bosses, relationships of all sorts that just don't work well, and the distress of having repeated disappointments in life. I'm interested in helping make real change, and not just developing interesting insights (although they can be useful too.)

I provide therapy for individuals-(children, adolescents and adults), couples, and facilitate process groups. I also am a multicultural educator.
