Are you feeling as if your life is not working, like there is something wrong with you? Are you feeling lost, "what's the point", a lack of joy? You are not alone! If you have a history of childhood abuse or have suffered a traumatic event, this can make you feel out of touch with yourself and disconnected from others. If you want to understand how this history has impacted your life, therapy can help.

I empower adults and adolescents as they grow in response to depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who have had their sexuality, gender, and relationships marginalized, especially members of the LGBTQ community. I practice from a social justice perspective because oppression often limits relationships, sexual identity, and sexual expression. I welcome and affirm people of all sexual orientations, gender presentations, and consensual relationship models.

There are times you just need to talk to someone. Family and friends mean well but they might say "don't worry about it" or "everyone feels like that once in awhile" but you need more. That's the best thing about therapy, the focus is you! Therapy is flexible and there can be a variety of ways to do it. I prefer a slow approach since the most important component of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client.

I love it when people figure out how to feel better. When they master harnessing their emotions, and their lives change and shift in better ways. I get excited when my clients discover that they can master a problem and it encourages them to continue to work on their self growth. And when they recognize that they have capabilities and strengths that they have been overlooking. Then, they see how they can use their strengths to improve their relationships, they recognize and grow their resilience, and they discover that they can solve their own problems almost all of the time.

In a welcoming, and non-judgemental setting, I invite you to discuss whatever is weighing on you. We will first define your goals, and by working together, address them.

My approach to therapy is psychoanalytic/psychodynamic and draws on multiple theoretical approaches depending on the needs of the patient. Whether you are in crisis or simply dissatisfied with some aspect of your life, therapy can help by uncovering unconscious patterns and finding new ways to address unsettling internal states and interpersonal conflicts. These can include difficulties with coworkers and supervisors, family or romantic relationships, identity issues, unwanted dependencies, loss, loneliness, inertia, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, rage, compulsive behaviors, and other self-destructive patterns.
