Congratulations on taking the first courageous step towards improving things in your life. I have been providing psychotherapy services to people for over three decades as a Licensed Psychologist. In that time, I have learned that each person is unique; with their own combination of strengths, struggles and histories. We start with getting to know each other and then focus on what you want to change/improve. We work together to set goals and then to achieve those goals. I view this process as a collaborative process.

I like to say that I specialize in “stuckness.” Over the years, I have been moved by my clients and their willingness to tolerate suffering and do everything in their power to recover, to heal, and move closer to others. I have also noticed that sometimes, despite their best efforts, something seems to stand in their way. This something has nothing to do with motivation. There are answers and I want to help clients overcome these mysterious barriers and break free of confusing, involuntary, and frustrating symptoms.

I specialize in somatic therapy for those who have experienced trauma. Anxiety, dissociation, reactivity, chronic worry, addiction, and hypervigilance are all adaptive responses for the body after having experienced trauma (car accidents, loss, sexual assault, oppression, domestic violence, emotional abuse, developmental/attachment injuries, and many other historically ignored experiences). My approach is queer, trans, & non-monogamous affirming, sex-positive, and based on a harm reduction approach to addiction.

We all want to be the best version of ourselves. Knowing what that looks like can be difficult, especially when you feel overwhelmed by the stressors of life. If you feel that you need some extra support and guidance through these feelings, Therapy can be the catalyst for guidance and change when you feel overwhelmed and struggle finding the joy in your life. In therapy, we will identify how these feelings may be holding you back, and learn to integrate skills to help you step into the best version of yourself.
