Therapy via online secure video or in-person at my comfortable office. Neurodiversity-Affirmative, Trauma-Informed, Creative & Compassionate, Experiential Therapy. Do you or a family member struggle with managing everyday stressors? Repeating unhealthy patterns despite negative consequences? Feeling misunderstood? Relationship(s) overrun by conflict? I offer highly interactive sessions that support greater self-awareness, increased self-regulation, effective communication, and responsible choice making. We will begin by identifying your strengths and passions as well as exploring the challenges, then tailor a plan that fits you.
As your therapist, I endeavor to: Listen deeply and responsively. Provide a safe and nonjudgmental space that supports useful risk-taking and change. Offer creative explorations that are specific to you and related to your therapeutic goals. Present you with tools drawn from neuroscience, HRV biofeedback, and traditional schools of psychology.
As a clinician, I am attentive, sensitive, compassionate, respectful, and direct. I am committed to providing quality care and resources to help you and your family. I offer individual (age 10+), couples, and family therapy, and pro-social Role-Play Game groups and events for youth and adults.

As part of a multi-disciplinary approach, I integrate evidence-based interventions and well-known therapeutic orientations with a whole-person creative approach. Therapy is more than talking about problems, it is working them out through experiential methods, personal understanding, and meaningful choice-making. I make therapy engaging through creativity and collaboration with clients.
