I work with children and adults.
I believe everyone has the ability to learn new ways to cope and view their personal situation differently. Therapy is a place where you can access your most authentic self and allow the therapeutic process to guide healing. Through creating a safe, comfortable and trusting environment clients will be able to share honestly and receive genuine feedback. My approach is supportive and client centered. You are the expert of your past and together we will explore patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors to establish improved ways of being and building relationships with others to help shape your future.

As most of us have learned, life presents us with many opportunities for stress, anxiety and emotional turmoil. Sometimes we need professional support to help us navigate challenges in our life. Each of us is unique and therapeutic treatment must also change based on this quality. Therapy is simply a tool that can help you steer the course of your life to the best of your ability so that you can achieve your goals. I provide supportive therapy at a non-judgmental stance and hope that you will find me open and easy to talk to.

I work with adults, adolescents and children to create a safe space in which to explore and understand struggles, develop healthy coping skills, and cultivate fulfilling relationships.
I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents, and provide services tailored to the child or adolescent’s developmental level and needs. I help to strengthen family relationships by working to understand the feelings and needs that underlie troubling behavior or symptoms, and helping the child or teenager develop skills to navigate their world more effectively. I offer consultations for parents who wish to address any worries, struggles or concerns they are experiencing as parents, or to work on their parenting skills and their relationship with their children.

Like that constant wondering about whether you are viewed as competent at work; like that disappointment you cover up with food, drink or overachieving because you haven’t met “the one;” like that hurt you carry from a past that shamed you or the depths of grief; or like the helplessness feel when your child is struggling.
I want you to know that all parts of you are welcomed here: That fun-loving part, the professional (pardon, the perfectionist part :o), the race part, the gender and sexuality parts, the parent part, and that hurt or insecure child part. We offer you a soft place to fall…and to get back up.

Clients come to me when they are dissatisfied with their lives and/or overwhelmed by a situation or stressor.

I also respect your wish to work on a specific area of concern short-term and/or to address a variety of complex issues over time. During the treatment, my clients report that they feel safe, supported and challenged by me, and that their lives are highly enriched by the experience.

LGBT clients come to me when they’re done shrinking to fit other people’s expectations. They’re insightful, often juggling complex intersections of identity, family, culture, and survival. Some are exploring gender or recovering from trauma; others are navigating relationships, grief, or big life shifts. They want a therapist who brings heart, depth, and real-life experience. I help them reclaim the narrative—with honesty, compassion, and a little bit of edge. I’m more than your therapist. I’m your biographer.

There are many different therapy styles, but what matters most is that your child or teen feels understood, supported, and safe.
I take a collaborative approach. Together, we focus on understanding behaviors and thought patterns and gently building skills that support emotional regulation, confidence, and healthy coping. Above all, I strive to offer unconditional positive regard and acceptance, because when young people feel accepted for who they are, meaningful change can happen!
