I can help with anxiety, depression, peers, LGBTQ+ issues, and post-concussion support.
I work with children, adolescents, and their families, and my approach is both flexible and eclectic. I often use Brief Intermittent Therapy. I find that it works best for people to come in for a defined brief period of time (such as 6-8 weeks) and focus on one specific area that needs attention; the time in therapy is more concentrated and effective. When the need arises, I welcome clients back for a "tune up."

You may be feeling overwhelmed or stuck, carrying experiences that continue to affect how you feel, relate to others, or move through daily life.

You’re looking for more than coping strategies—you want understanding, relief, and lasting change. I provide a safe, supportive place where you can be yourself, feel truly seen, and take steps toward healing and growth at a pace that feels right for you.

I believe that everyone is in the process of change. We have worked to become whe are now, and we will continue to grow into ourselves. That is why I do not judge people, but instead help clients to accept and appreciate their struggles as a foundation for healing. Very little shocks or surprises me, so I am particularly well-suited to issues of sexuality and personal expression and associated issues of shame and fear. I also have an affinity for those with anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, grief, and couples' issues. My primary method is Cognitive-Behavioral talk therapy.

I have experience working with LGBTQ populations, non-monogamy, kink, infidelity, and various sexual issues.
People often feel stuck in their relationships or dating lives. Modern dating seems hopeless, sex or emotional intimacy is hard, infidelity has eroded trust, the same arguments keep arising, or the spark of passion is gone.
Clients also see me to work with dreams, fantasies, identity shifts, transitions like breakups, and getting unstuck. Imagination and creativity are important tools I use.
I encourage curiosity about patterns rather than judging or condemning them. I earned my M.A. in Counseling and Depth (Jungian) Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, where I studied dream work and unconscious processes.

Over my years of experience I have formed primary clinical focuses in trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, LGBTQIA+, ethical non-monogamy, kink, relationships, etc.

Some of the best trauma healing happens within developing a safe space where we can share, relate, and co-regulate.

You can't understand why with all the therapy you have done, you still don't feel substantially better. Sometimes you think it's analogous to knowing all about the parts of a bike and how it works, but you are still unable to actually ride the bike. You know all about your depression, anxiety or trauma - but you don't feel better.
I also am an approved assistant teacher and session provider through Somatic Experiencing International.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
