As a multiracial, queer woman of indigenous descent (reconnecting) I am passionate about decolonizing mental healthcare and sex therapy in supporting diverse clients in reaching their therapeutic goals. I love working with diverse individuals and relationships including BIPOC, lgbtqia2s+, neurodivergent, kink/bdsm, and expansive relational approaches. We all need to be seen, loved, and understood in supportive relationships-including our therapeutic relationship. Some specific areas of interest in my practice are sexual issues/exploration, gender, identities, embodiment, problematic behaviors, life changes, and congruence.

I work primarily within my LGBTQIA+ community, and I always desire to support people across many identities and life stages. I am passionate about your relational well-being, and I specialize in working with all types of relationship structures and issues. I see the therapeutic process as dynamic and collaborative. I value that the therapeutic process is as unique as each relationship or person I see; and my hope is to expand the connection to yourself and to others through the combination of inner healing and functional skill building. My ultimate desire is to empower you as a whole person, and magnify your impact on the world.

I have over 40 years of experience working with a wide variety of clients, a wide range of issues and ages ranging from adolescence to the elderly. I have worked in multiple Mental Health and Substance Abuse treatment settings both inpatient and outpatient. I have run various types of Mental Health Programs, EAP services, and co-owned several group practices. In particular, I work with aduts, couples, families, and adolescents experiencing problems including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, job/work/career concerns, and school performance issues. I also utilize many strategies /tools from the John Gottman method.

Are you struggling to balance work, life, and relationships? Are you feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or unfulfilled, going through the motions of life? Or just really stuck because life isn't quite working out as planned? Life hurts sometimes... but things can be different. I can help you get there. I am an experienced therapist who you can trust, to guide you through the rough patches. I've been doing just that for the past 20+ years, helping my clients grow into the person they want to be while leading more authentic, positive and fulfilling lives.

These are really tough times, aren't they? Existing issues feel bigger and it can be that much harder to cope. Therapy can heIp. I approach therapy in a warm and collaborative manner to help couples, individuals, and families identify new and adaptive ways to deal with life's challenges. In couples therapy, I use Emotion-Focused and Gottman approaches to help partners learn to manage and repair conflict, rebuild trust and intimacy, and build emotional connections. In family treatment, I'll work with your family to develop adaptive and healthy communication patterns, as well as address parenting concerns and behavioral issues.

COUPLES, FAMILY, CHILD and INDIVIDUAL THERAPY. True Happiness and Stability Stems from the Quality of our Significant Relationships! I work from a strength-based, solution-focused, and systemic or relational orientation, all are evidence-based approaches. I focus on people's strengths and possibilities while addressing their real life difficulties.

Many of us, at some point in our lives, experience stress, struggle with interpersonal relationships, and question our self-worth. I have extensive experience and enjoy working with individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, experience chronic illness, as well as emerging adults struggling with life transitions through a relational psychodynamic orientation. I believe therapy can provide tremendous relief, increase joy and spontaneity, and allow you to know and experience a deeper sense of yourself. It can be difficult to start therapy. That is why I approach our work together from a place of compassion, genuineness, and authenticity.

Life is a difficult and confusing journey for all of us at times. Occasionally, we get "stuck" along the way. Do you sometimes feel anxious, depressed, angry or afraid and believe that no one seems to understand or listen to you? Are you all alone? If you feel this way and are ready for change, I can help you find satisfying and lasting solutions which will bring calmness and joy into your life. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy to adolescents, adults, and seniors. Together we will develop a specific treatment to help you achieve the life you desire.

For me, working with teens and their families, along with couples and individuals, is my vocation rather than my profession. I help families and teens make sense of the struggles faced by kids and their parents today. I help couples rebuild strong bonds. I guide individuals into a heightened awareness of themselves and their world. Another professional/personal passion is Cancer. In this domain, it really takes one to know one (and their caretakers). Guiding either the patient or caretaker is a new mission for me. I work closely with the sentiments in Dr. Kelly Turner's books - Radical Remission and Radical Hope.
