Starting counseling, either again or for the first time, can feel both exciting and overwhelming. My clients tend to feel stuck and unsure about how to make the changes they want in their lives. Whether you've been repeating old patterns, or have tried tirelessly to create change without quite getting there, I want you to know that things don't have to stay the same. I work with people experiencing life transitions, identity exploration, grief and loss, relationship issues including non-monogamy, mental health struggles, activism and social justice issues. My practice centers on providing affirming care to LGBTQ+ communities.

Sex and porn addiction, drug and alcohol addiction, with a focus on underlying trauma & codependency are my areas of expertise. My goal is to assist you to transcend suffering, to lay your secrets down and get rid of toxic shame. My focus for you is self-transformation, to like/love yourself and to be released from isolation. Empathy and confidentiality and a focus on the underlying neurocognitive function of addiction, trauma and recovery are the foundations of my practice. With 30 years in the field, I hold two master's degrees, one from the world-renowned Hazelden-Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies.

Trained in the field of Individual, Couple/Marital, and Family Therapy I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches. Primarily, I am a person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-oriented therapist. In other words, my driving focus is to discover what we can do today to improve upon tomorrow. Success isn't measured in years, rather; in outcomes. Come - take a chance. Call today!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist who believes that everyone has the capacity for personal growth and continued development. Life often throws us challenges and it is normal to feel overwhelmed during these transitions. This is where I can help. I have extensive training and experience with individuals, couples, children, and families. I utilize a youthful approach to everyday struggles, coupled with my determination to support you through your journey. My clinical experience ranges from ages 4-78 years of age, and I currently take Regence insurance. *Not accepting new clients at this time*

I utilize an integrative approach that focuses on each individual and where they feel they need to be met. It's very hard to determine who's the best fit for you. The best way to choose a professional is to give someone an opportunity to learn from you, about who you are, and what you need from a therapist. I am willing to listen and hear (two different things) what it is that you need. Please contact me today through email or by phone to check to see how I put these words into practice.

EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE ............The therapeutic relationship is a partnership based on a commitment to the process of understanding, acceptance and transformation. My experience allows me to guide individuals, couples, and families looking to make substantial advances in their life and their relationships; as well as gain a better understanding of how they arrived to this point in their life often feeling "stuck".

Are you experiencing challenges in your relationships with others, or wanting to have more intimacy and connection in your life? Do you find that past experiences are keeping you from living the life you want to live? Have you experienced confusion or bullying related to your gender or sexuality? I believe in your inherent worth and your innate ability to move toward health and wholeness. I see my role as a partner in uncovering the barriers to that growth. My therapeutic approach is holistic and relationship-oriented. I strive to provide an environment of openness, curiosity, and safety.

All are welcome. By respecting and honoring the unique differences of every client I see, I have worked to empower people to express themselves and to challenge patterns in their lives that they have sought to change. I work to provide warm and consistent support for those who may be experiencing grief, life after trauma, or a significant change.

Are you feeling stuck, confused...and don’t know how to move forward - especially now in the pandemic of the COVID-19 virus? I offer my clients new skills, new ways of thinking, the practical application of guided meditations...Tapping or EFT. We even do modified trance work either on-line or over the telephone. My clients are reporting good results! Calmer. More grounded. NOT SO FEARFUL. Able to look toward the bigger picture, experiencing gratitude and curiosity. Call me for a free telephone consultation. I have reduced my prices and expanded my hours of service to weekends.

My approach to therapy draws upon 18 years of experience with clients of all ages and backgrounds in grief and loss, mood disorders, interpersonal conflict, family relationships, and anxiety disorders. I enjoy helping people examine their core beliefs, identify and change unhealthy thought patterns, learn and implement skills to manage anxiety and panic, build self esteem, process past trauma, become more emotionally regulated, accept the things they cannot change, and overall, work towards a life worth living and not only existing.

"This Sky,where we live is no place to lose your wings, so love, love, Love."- Hafiz My specialty is working with clients who have a desire to incorporate a contemplative (meditation) spiritual practice while working on pressing psychological issues.

In my work as a therapist, I rely on: compassion, creativity, curiosity, honesty, patience, kindness, and humor. I am fond of working with Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and with whatever it was Carl Whitaker was up to. I consider my practice to be an invitation to work with people of all: ages, backgrounds, identities and expressions, which in part means I work with kids and teens. My pronouns are typically he/him.

Are you dealing with feelings of depression or anxiety, or struggling with a change in life? Do you find yourself always in the position of caring for others more then yourself? Have you suffered trauma or want to heal difficult patterns in your family or relationships? I provide a warm, open environment to help clients learn to know and trust themselves, and to help clients express themselves comfortably in friendship, family, partner and work relationships.

My ideal client is motivated to make changes, is open to trying new things, in the face of fear of change. This person sees therapy as a collaborative experience.

I offer therapy to relieve anxiety and depression and discover the underlying causes. I also specialize in trauma and PTSD. If you've seen other therapists without results, it may be because you've only participated in talk or cognitive therapy. I've found that deeply ingrained beliefs and coping mechanisms that develop when we're young are often responsible for dysfunction or repeated negative emotions later in life. I offer therapy to help you discover the reasons for triggers and patterns of behavior and how to change them. I welcome the opportunity to work with you. Come discover yourself and heal.

Welcome! Thank you for visiting and allowing me to share in the work I do. I offer adult therapeutic services with a specialty in sexuality focused issues, sex-positive education, intimacy, functioning, LGBTQQIA challenges, polyamory, and kink/fetish lifestyles. Some of the work I do in my general practice focuses on managing, problem-solving, and exploring with those struggling with relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and life transitions. I also act as a WDVA Counseling & Wellness contracted provider for Veterans/their families.

Making the decision to become well holistically is being proactive with your life encompassing the mind, body and spirit. By engaging in therapy you are taking the first step to obtaining the skills you need to reach your goals, gain useful knowledge and feel empowered. I work from a variety of treatment models, unique to each individual and situation.

I work with adults who feel depressed, anxious, lonely, ashamed, stigmatized, othered, or “not good enough.” Areas of expertise include existential concerns about one’s purpose and finding meaning; struggles with sexism/misogyny; and challenges around reproductive issues (infertility, miscarriage, traumatic labor/delivery, postpartum depression). My therapeutic practice is humanistic, existential, and feminist, grounded by a social psychological perspective on human beings as situated within their social worlds. I seek to engage in therapy that is collaborative, respectful, and caring.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I am passionate about supporting people in finding greater connection with themselves, their world, and in being present in their daily lives. We are in trying times. In counseling you can explore and have witness for whatever difficulties or questions you are living with. With clients, I often explore themes of anxiety, depression, grief, coming-of-age and differentiation, fostering fulfilling relationships, guilt and/or shame, and questions of identity and self-expression, among others.

Within all of us, is a desire to feel at ease with who we are, and to feel a true sense of belonging. Our sense of belonging emerges as we skillfully attend to our whole selves, including unique strengths and challenges. I support clients in doing this by establishing a solid foundation of trust and connection. From this grounded and accepting place, clients are able to grow in self-awareness and self-compassion. I facilitate clients creatively accessing their internal/ external resources and gifts for greater health, ease and fulfillment.
