Your relationship has turned sour, leaving you heartbroken, confused, and emotionally drained. Maybe the relationship just ended, or maybe you’re stuck in the painful limbo of deciding whether to stay or go. You’re replaying conversations, second-guessing yourself, and feeling the ache of loneliness – even if you’re not alone. You think about what life might look like if you break up, but the sadness, anger, anxiety, and fear of the unknown feel overwhelming. You wonder if you’ll ever have clarity and feel like yourself again. Please note, I only see adult individuals. No couples. (Licensed in CA & WYOMING)

***Currently accepting new Clients*** Welcome, stressed out moms! Life can be complicated, and sometimes you need to take a minute (or maybe 50) to talk to someone who will truly listen. I strongly believe in the words of Carl Rogers and treat all my clients with "unconditional positive regard." In particular, I know how hard it is to be a mom. We deserve to feel good, and our children will also do better when we feel better. Therapy helps us to feel unburdened. It allows us to see our challenges objectively and therefore tackle life's problems with more ease.

Marriage & Family Therapist, MFT, PhD

I offer consultation, psychotherapy and shamanic healing. Consultation may be with other professional healers or with people who want to explore an issue. Psychotherapy may look like: counseling, coaching, in-depth psychodynamic uncovering of unconscious material, support through a life transition, or assistance with addictive habits. It depends on who you are. Often we feel we could use some help but we can't quite articulate what the issue is. My goal here is to assist you in navigating your journey and in being your true self.

You may feel called to therapy not because you’re broken, but because something in you is ready to awaken. Trauma, loss, or chronic stress may live in your body as anxiety, hypervigilance, numbness, or disconnection from your truth. You might be LGBTQ+, coming out later in life, or shedding old identities that once kept you safe. You’re seeking EMDR and trauma therapy that honors the nervous system, intuition, dreamwork, and the deeper rhythms of your inner world. You long for steadiness, self-trust, and a life that feels embodied, authentic, and alive.

Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT

I work with couples, parents, and families navigating relationships under strain, partners stuck in patterns of distance, tension, or repeated conflict; parents co-parenting through separation or divorce; and families whose lives now include the family court system.
I help couples and families slow down reactive cycles and make sense of the emotional patterns shaping their relationships. My work is grounded in relational science, attachment-based approaches, and, for court-involved families, the AFCC Guidelines for Court-Involved Therapy, which protect both clinical integrity and the legal process.

I'm a gay man, I've run my own business, and I've been through a divorce.
You run a business, or you have a career that follows you home. You go to bed and your brain keeps working: payroll, the client who didn't answer, the price you're scared to raise. Your neck is always tight, you get headaches, and your husband says you're not really here. Or the relationship already ended. Or the man you love drinks, and you've become very good at managing it.

I specialize in working with court-involved families, including those navigating high-conflict co-parenting, parent-child relationship concerns, and the emotional impact of separation, divorce, and custody disputes.
When families become involved in the court system, the stakes feel high — and the emotional weight often falls hardest on children. Therapy can become the place where something begins to move in a healthier direction. Families involved in the court system are often navigating some of the most painful and disorienting experiences of their lives. Legal processes can intensify conflict, strain the parent-child relationships, and leave children carrying an emotional weight they were never meant to bear alone. Therapy, when it is well-structured and clinically grounded, can become a place where something begins to shift.

A divorce.
You may notice grief arriving out of order, a heaviness that doesn't match the timeline everyone expects, or the ache of missing something you chose to end. None of that means you're doing it wrong. My work is less about talking you out of the feeling than turning toward it — sitting with what's there, letting it be known instead of managed away.

It is essentially human to crave emotional connection. Neurobiology informs us that deep emotional connections excite complex neural networks, flooding us with ecstasy-inducing dopamine and so it makes sense that we chase more. But negative emotional experiences invariably interrupt our constant searches for positive ones. And when left unattended, piles of negative emotions can lead to feelings of disconnection. What if each negative confrontation is actually a gift, merely disguised as a negative experience, that can be used to help us experience the world differently? I look forward to helping you discover the possibility.
