Are all these therapist profiles starting to blur together? It seems like we all use similar jargon: “Compassionate listening” “supportive guidance”, “safe space”, “trauma-informed”, “evidence-based” etc, etc. It’s because most of us aim to offer similar things and have had similar training. But I believe what truly matters when choosing a therapist is connection—there’s a "click" that can just happen and suddenly you know you are seen, accepted, and understood in a way that opens up new possibilities for growth. This connection empowers you to explore who you are, confront your challenges, and make meaningful changes in your life.
Together, we’ll examine what’s working and what isn’t, with honesty and without judgment. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from ages 9 to 79, both in community clinics and in-patient hospital facilities. These experiences have given me deep insight into the wide variety of issues people face at every stage of life.
I welcome you to reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation and see if you feel that "click". Oh, and give yourself a pat on the back for taking the first step towards better mental health. I know it’s not always easy, but you’re doing it!

I am an NPE, a person who has experienced a "non-parental event". This usually comes from a DNA test, when you find your parent/parents are not biologically related to you. I specialize in guiding fellow NPEs through the complex identity crisis that ensues after this discovery. I have found because of this experience, I am especially suited to people experiencing all kinds of identity crisis.

I employ many different modalities, but use my 20 years of experience as a professional writer to lean into an approach called, "Narrative Therapy". This helps you see your life as a collection of stories shaped by you and society. Together, we explore and rewrite negative stories, highlighting your strengths and values to empower you in creating a positive and meaningful life narrative.
