Choosing a therapist is tough, so here's how I differ from other therapists. I work best with people who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but still can't seem to change emotionally. Many of my clients are dealing with trauma, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, chronic depression, relationship issues, or painful inner conflict. I find that combining parts work, hypnotherapy, and a depth-oriented approach helps people not only understand and relate to their issues, but provides emotional relief and self-acceptance. Together, we'll work towards inner peace, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

I also love supporting queer, trans, and gender expansive youth!
Hi. Welcome. I work with people who are highly sensitive, big feelers, caretakers, helping professionals who are experiencing overwhelm, burnout, anxiety/depression, and nervous system disregulation. My approach is somatic - combining the trauma informed tools and insights of body psychotherapy with the gentle bodywork of biodynamic craniosacral therapy to help you get out of your head and into your body. We will utilize awareness, breath, touch, and movement to explore and give voice to the underlying patterns and stuck material that can hold us back. And build a bodily sense of foundation you can rely on.

Many people seek therapy because something in their life is not working. It may be something at work, relationship with spouse, family members or friends. They feel frustrated and depressed because they are unable to be effective in managing problems. Over time these problems can lead to sadness, stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping and changes in mood. Therapy can help you identify the things that are not working and assist you in developing strategies for solving your problems. Being able to solve problems and improve the quality of your life will lead to happiness and a feeling of empowerment.

I believe the role of a therapist is in helping clients to connect with their innate wisdom and resilience. If you have found yourself struggling with interpersonal relationships, anxiety, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you then I may be able to support you in making the changes you desire in your life. If you are struggling with grief (from loss or the kind that comes with changes we do not choose for ourselves) then I can help you to navigate the accompanying emotions. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, adverse childhood events, and perinatal mood changes.

Have you done years of talk therapy, understood your own story, yet still feel stuck in patterns you can't shift? Or are you facing a painful past, an overwhelming present, or a quiet disconnection from yourself and your life? Perhaps you're high-functioning on the outside, yet carrying old wounds that insight alone hasn't resolved. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental presence and a deeply attuned, skillful approach to help you move beneath insight into lasting change, reconnecting with a more grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling way of being.

My passion is working with clients in transition and I specialize in counseling women 40s and older who are facing peri-menopause/post-menopause, using GLP-1 medications, aging parents, adult sibling relationships, emancipating children and career transitions. For women in this stage of life there might be a feeling of invisibility and irrelevance. It can be helpful to work with a therapist who is closer in age. It's hard to navigate these situations in isolation and because of the complex relational history, there can be a sense of overwhelm and emotional triggers. How would it be if this were a time of mastery and empowerment?

These are difficult times. It's hard to find a place where you are seen and important! You matter. Your thoughts and perspectives are valuable.

I work well with people who are motivated to reconnect with themselves in a deeper way, as I encourage movement towards self-acceptance, forgiveness, and inspiration. I am a person-centered therapist who offers unconditional positive regard to my clients, regardless of their depth of pain and loss in life. I believe in the inner healing capacity of every human to find their way through times of confusion, emotional pain, loss of self, disconnection from others, and grief and to reconnect with a more optimized way of showing up for themselves and others.

Seeking support can often be the next step in finding your way forward. I love helping clients cultivate a deeper understanding of and relationship with themselves. I work with individuals to navigate stress, anxiety, life transitions, depression, trauma (PTSD), self-esteem, complex trauma (CPTSD), neglect, abuse, and religious trauma. In our sessions, we aim to build a therapeutic relationship founded on trust, acceptance, and respect while accessing your own internal strength and wisdom. Clients can then safely explore life experiences, beliefs, and fears that interfere with day-to-day functioning and life satisfaction.

Motherhood can be one of the most joyous times in our lives. It can also be a time of never ending demands, chaotic schedules and sleepless nights. You're doing all the things to be the best Mom, partner, daughter, sister and friend that you have no bandwidth left to take care of yourself. You end each day desperately trying to take the edge off using anything that will work. Night after night you end up popping the cork to a new wine bottle or stay up late binge watching Netflix. It helped for a while, but now you're noticing that it's creating new problems and you're left wondering how you got here.

Healthy relationships begin with you. When you have a full plate you may feel irritable and exhausted and that you and your relationships need some TLC. You may feel resentful and/or angry and you may not know why or you may be unclear about what to do about it. You may be listening and living your life according to your inner critic, which can lead to low self-esteem, loneliness, and never feeling good enough instead of loving yourself and having the freedom to be who you are truly meant to be. Your ways of coping may be keeping you hanging on by a thread, but they also may be causing you pain and not addressing underlying forces.

My practice is client-centered, strengths-based, and neuro-diverse and LGBTQ+ affirming.
Life is filled with transitions, which often leave one feeling disoriented and stuck. New medical diagnoses, transitions in school, career, and relationships are just a few. These moments can feel like hurricane force winds, shaking our sense of rootedness and leaving us searching for tools. Together, we can build on your strengths and identify the new tools you need to pursue the next step on your journey.

Deciding to start therapy can be daunting. It's important to remember, though, that seeking help is a strength, one that we can build on. In my work with people, I help them identify their strengths and use them to work toward a better future. I specialize in working with issues such as depression, anxiety, and relationships, and within those contexts, I have particular expertise in weight management, healthy lifestyles, and life transitions.

I am so grateful you are here! I support adult individuals process different types of grief related to but not limited to death, childhood, sexual, spiritual and relational bereavement.
I believe that unresolved grief can lead to unhelpful coping skills such as depression, anxiety, and damaging relationships. Through growth and development you will experience a fuller life and your feelings will start to be manageable. You will imagine going through life with a clear sense of self and purpose. You will learn that you are worthy. As Carl Rogers said "The curious paradox is when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change".

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
