You can heal your broken heart. You can change your life. You can find your true self and create a better life. I would love to help.

I value helping to foster a secure space and use an integrative approach to help clients feel empowered to reach their personal goals. Intersectionality has been paramount on my own personal healing journey and I have had the opportunity to work with clients who benefit from the same lens.

Welcome! I support my Clients' path to arrive at a freer, more empowered version of themselves. I am passionate about working through an intersectional and trauma-informed lens with everyone. I respect my Clients deeply and give them my genuine warmth and attentiveness. I am a good fit for people who are nervous about therapy, people working on boundaries, self love, finding their voice, embodiment, healing from trauma/complex trauma as well as folks from all parts of the LGBT+ family. I am here for gender exploration, questioning, arrival and take a non judgmental stance on all corners of consensual sex/sexuality/kink/non-monog+

The Pink Moon Healing Collective provides psychotherapy services by both licensed therapists and associates in addition to providing conjunctive services i.e. trauma recovery, art therapy, identity exploration, and therapeutic yoga offerings to enhance the therapeutic and healing process.

I help people who are dealing with: Job stress; heavy feelings surrounding break-ups; artists who have lost their spark and want to find it again-who are navigating between commercial pressures and the ability to have their true voices heard. Intimacy issues, trauma, and love & sex addiction issues as well as other addictive issues are a specialty. My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to unpack difficult feelings and to help facilitate emotional healing.

I believe therapy can be a transformative, empowering, and healing experience. My therapeutic style is warm, non-judgmental, engaged and collaborative. I work with individuals and couples dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, intimacy, life transitions and self esteem. In practice, I help clients to process and explore past experiences, current challenges, and discover unconscious patterns. My goal is to help clients work towards feeling more balanced, secure, and fulfilled in their lives and relationships.

As a therapist, it is my sole intention to assist you in nurturing your own unique insight. When I'm in conversation with my clients, we work together to name and understand the issues that trouble them. I assist them in confronting the barriers to a more enjoyable life, and together we discover what needs to change, or what can be more peacefully accepted. I am primarily a "talk" therapist. My clients have described me as "down to earth" and "personable." I also use Cognitive Behavioral techniques in order to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over ten years of experience. As a therapist, I’m not here to judge you or tell you what’s wrong. Instead, I am here to help you uncover your hidden strengths and harness those abilities to address any challenges or roadblocks you may face. You don’t have to do it alone; we can walk this path together.

We each begin our journey with a unique set of strengths and vulnerabilities. We strive for joy and authenticity, but are often derailed by toxic relationships, distorted thinking, and self-destructive behaviors. Let me partner with you to heIp you discover your best self, as a parent, a partner, a life participant. I offer a safe space in which to examine your life's path. I have 25 years of experience providing counseling and therapy to adults, adolescents and children. My areas of expertise are the treatment of childhood trauma, childhood behavior problems, attachment and parenting, adoption, grief, and the treatment of anxiety and depression.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. My goal is listen deeply to clients -- in order to fully hear the nature of their problems and skillfully mine for the underlying components of the personality that might be inhibiting growth, recovery and freedom. Whether you are suffering with conflict in your personal relationships, compulsive or addictive behaviors, mood disturbances, indecision, or the everyday crises of meaning we all sometimes face, I will apply my professional skills to organize and construct a treatment plan. In an atmosphere of trust and warmth a collaboration can commence. Call me today to begin...

Many of the people who consult with me identify as artists, writers, filmmakers, educators, activists, sex workers, queer, transgender, nonbinary, polyamorous/non-monogamous, or are living in resistance to social norms in one way or another. Problems can seem to take over our lives when we find ourselves living near the edges of what's deemed "acceptable," "respectable," or even "healthy." Through our conversations, I hope to help people reimagine the kinds of responses and relationships they would prefer to have towards difficult situations or problems in their lives.

I believe the foundation of living a truly fulfilling life comes from genuine and nurturing connection to others. As a therapist, my work consists of helping you find this type of connection through embracing vulnerability and increasing acceptance. Through our collaboration, we can gently and compassionately explore your needs, hopes, and fears while empowering you to utilize your strengths. Ultimately, you will arrive at a place of greater integration of all parts of yourself, while developing greater curiosity and understanding of the painful emotions and challenges that arise throughout life.

You've taken the first step in addressing the barriers preventing you from living your life to the fullest. Individual therapy can be a beneficial experience as we navigate difficult times in your personal life including work, home, and family. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment to embark on self exploration and the development of individual techniques used to overcome depression, anxiety, trauma and life adjustments.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting process and I believe that it is important to feel at ease in order to do the work that therapy entails. I provide a comfortable, down to earth environment and demeanor that will allow you to develop insight, find a sense of peace, and build your self confidence and resilience. It is very important to me that you get the results you are looking for in therapy and that your experience is a positive one. It is healing to be seen, heard and accepted and this is what I offer. I am sensitive, caring and dedicated to our work together.

Are you feeling stuck in relationships, jobs, or entrenched beliefs about yourself that may not be valid? Unhealthy thoughts, feelings, behaviors and attachments can create patterns that lead to anxiety, depression, addiction and more. The definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.” If you want to break the cycle, therapy can be a powerful tool in helping you identify problem areas and begin your personal transformation. The process begins with having someone who will listen, understand your needs, uncover stressors and seek solutions.

I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help them find greater fulfillment within the various aspects of their lives, whether it's their sense of self, interpersonal relationships, or professional life. A strong therapeutic relationship has the ability to heal, to empower, and to initiate lasting change. It can help guide you through life's challenges so that you emerge stronger and wiser. I work with adults, couples and adolescents, many of whom seek therapy simply because they are feeling "stressed out" or "not as happy" as they'd like, while others may be experiencing more significant symptoms of depression and anxiety.

If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I strive to help people uncover their strengths, while also learning how to adapt and adjust to difficult situations. I'm an interactive therapist who believes that the most effective therapy offers a balance of non-judgmental support with concrete tools and direction that will help you live a more fulfilling life. I work with people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and other psychological issues.
