I love working with those who know they are ready for change. Many seek to create a life that they can proudly call their own. Perhaps you have tried many times, or you are just now realizing you're not living the life you want. I have worked for years with people wanting to create their best life, and have found a uniquely collaborative way of working that removes internal barriers while changing ways of relating to others, so that a happier, healthier life is more than just possible, it becomes a living reality.

During our journey we will collaborate to find solutions that are fitting for you. I specialize in the treatment of OCD, bipolar, relationship issues, grief, and men’s issues.

Mental health symptoms can exert a painfully strong hold on our lives and take an exhaustive toll. Symptoms can range from anxiety or depression, to a sense of being stuck, to reactions stemming from current circumstances or one’s life history. My practice is guided by the principal that you and I working collaboratively, engaged in a project of speaking and listening—being curious about one’s inner world—can have a significant impact on one’s symptoms. While this practice focuses on reducing suffering it also seeks to produce change.

My priority is to create a safe and respectful atmosphere, conducive to fostering your healing and self expression. I am EMDR certified, a treatment which is life changing in its ability to shift stressful or traumatic experiences from a place of pain to one of growth. In addition, I draw on Humanistic, CBT and Internal Family Systems approaches. My values are gender-affirming, sex/body positive, and lgbtqia+ friendly. As someone who has greatly benefited from amazing therapists, I believe in the healing power of this process.

I entered the field of counseling with the belief that individuals can create real and positive change for themselves. I have been in the field for more than a decade and have worked to help others identify negative patterns in their daily lives and empower them to develop more healthy choices and behaviors. I have a background in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and employ a person-centered approach. I have worked with couples, families, and individuals all working to gain insight and get more out of their lives.

I've worked across diverse settings, spanning ages 3 to 105, and I meet you without judgment.

Choosing a therapist can be confusing and overwhelming, especially if you need to discuss issues related to sexuality or gender. I have a transparent, practical and easy-going style that is compassionate, culturally-attuned and helps my clients feel understood and at ease. The commitment to psychotherapy is challenging, vulnerable and courageous. It is not about aiming for perfection, but appreciating the ways in which you have continued to persist and fight for what you value and those you care about even in the face of all the messiness, conflict and struggle. My work is tailored to individuals, couples or networks.

I believe strongly in therapy's capacity to help us experience a wider range of feelings and situations more flexibly, and to help us experience a greater sense of vitality. You may have specific issues that are troubling you with relationships, work, or your identity, for example. You may have a potentially harder-to-name sense of dissatisfaction or emptiness. Any of these are good reasons to seek therapy.

I consider psychotherapy to be a project between two people in which the goal is to understand both conscious and unconscious sources of emotional pain and ultimately open a space in which to alleviate suffering. The result is a very singular relationship that encourages multiple readings of itself and of all the relationships that have come before it. Through an understanding of feelings, relationships, and a deepening of inner and outer dialogue, we can enter a process of healing which leads to the shedding of old and destructive patterns.

With embodied presence, I take your side, within and against the world, on and from the earth. I talk with you in a way that I talk only with you, a way we make together, consciously and unconsciously. And I listen with you, facilitating a place you can be attuned to in new ways. As we co-create an intimate conversation, aliveness may grow in and among us.
