Have you ever felt like the stresses in your life were overwhelming? Do you sometimes feel unprepared to deal with the demands of parenting? Are there challenges or conflicts within your family? Are complex changes in your life confusing you about what to do? Are you searching for understanding, some new tools or some new ways to create more peacefulness in your life?

We all have the potential to lead a fulfilling life. Difficult challenges may keep us from reaching that potential though, and we can find ourselves stuck in repetitive cycles of suffering. I offer individual psychotherapy and neurofeedback with a focus on the alleviation of symptoms through inner transformation. With close attention to the unresolved emotional pain and nervous system dysregulation that drive symptoms, I help clients find resilience within the difficulties they face. I draw from time-tested and evidence-based approaches suited to each client's unique needs, and offer weekly sessions or longer trauma intensives.

I offer compassionate, down-to-earth support with a style that is interactive and personable. I am experienced in both individual, couple, and family counseling, and will tailor my approach to meet your needs and goals, ranging from short-term problem-solving counseling, to long-term depth-oriented psychotherapy. I welcome all enquiries.

We access your inner resources, to create a unified sense of self. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, fear, isolation, anger, trauma, we pay attention to these signals. We meet vulnerability with a gentle rhythm, so the heart can release these emotions. Our intent is to nurture a relationship to yourself, based on self acceptance, honor and respect. Our focus is to create a feeling of safety within yourself, security in the world, and an opening to wholeness.

Every individual is unique, whole and complete. Sometimes we have a hard time acknowledging this part and embracing who we are. Perhaps you need extra support or new tools to help navigate where you are at this moment in life. Part of one's journey is releasing old energies that are holding you back in order to move forward. If you are seeking holistic approaches in your therapy sessions, you've come to the right place. While keeping the traditional foundations of therapy, my focus is more "thinking outside the box" in regards to the individual and empowering you to figure out what works best for you.

Our passion for therapy comes from the shared belief that every person deserves to have a meaningful and fulfilling life. We believe that every person is naturally health-seeking, and that sometimes it can be difficult to navigate the path to well-being on your own. By creating a compassionate environment, we will help you explore how to live the life that you want. As each person is unique, when we help clients navigate this path, we approach therapy with strategies that are specific to your needs and goals.

As LGBTQ residents of the I.E. we often find ourselves wondering "where is my community?" and "why can't I just be myself?" It seems like we've tried everything but we don't feel like we belong or we are in a safe place to live & work. We often wonder... when is this going to get better? When can I just live my life fully how I am? Sometimes we feel sad and it can be a very lonely place. We can even forget just how special and unique we are because we are so different and surrounded by those who just don't get it. We really want someone who can connect to us and make our experiences feel validated, reminding us that we are beautiful
