I have a general psychotherapy practice for individuals, couples or families ages 17+. My approach is to use basic talk therapy as a way of gaining insight, strengthening the self and making positive changes in thinking and behavior. As a generalist, I am open to all mental health issues. However, my specialty areas include major mental illness and psychotic disorders, with help for both the client and family and couples work.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed or stuck? These are all areas I have extensive experience in and have been successful at helping clients work through. My approach to facilitating psychotherapy is to tune in to what has motivated a person (or couple)to seek help. I am a psychodynamic, relational thinker and apply that to the work I do. I draw from my 15+ years experience helping people better understand themselves and the patterns they tend to engage in. The tools I use will depend on who you are and why you are seeking help.

My approach to therapy is not limited to any one direction or technique. I work to stay open to and curious about each person's unfolding story. I listen closely to nuance and I look for underlying patterns, towards understanding what keeps people stuck. I am comfortable working with great adversity and extreme pain.

I am passionate about supporting women and men who have had tragic loss and traumatic experiences and are struggling to sort out their person hood. I am uniquely gifted at working with women who have had DCF child removals, unwanted court involvement and relational fragmentation due to trauma, substance use and interpersonal violence. I offer therapeutic services that support your personal work to heal the pain of isolation and stigma that occurs when anger kicks up impulsivity and compulsions. It's important for my prospective client to understand that I am primarily a trauma therapist.

I work with all couples - married and unmarried, premarital and divorcing, heterosexual and same sex. I work actively to explore areas of dissatisfaction, identify obstacles to change, and find ways to overcome them. I offer to meet with all couples for a brief evaluation, designed to determine whether treatment is indicated and to quickly identify key problems, strengths and promising directions for treatment. I strive for the shortest course of treatment that accomplishes clients' goals. If a couple is in acute crisis, I make every effort to see them on an intensive basis initially until the immediate crisis is stabilized.

The most important relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves, nurtured and cultivated over a lifetime. Finding the right therapist with which to partner in this journey is an essential foundation for exploration, building awareness and ultimately growth and expansion. I bring a compassionate, collaborative and integrated approach to working with individuals who have a history of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, chronic disease, and personal and professional life transitions. As both a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, my approach is holistic and patient-centered.

I am an LGBTQAI sex educator and a psychotherapist, and I am an AASECT certified sex therapist. I was clinically trained at the Smith School for Social Work and the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society in New York City. I lived in New York City for over a decade and during that time founded the advocacy and education organization, Translate Gender, Inc. I utilize a transfeminist therapeutic approach in working with LGBTQ adolescents, individuals, and families. My interests include working with couples , polyamorous relationships, BDSM relationships, as well as working with those in alternative family structures.

I view all aspects of human sexuality as normal. I believe there is no wrong way to have a body. I view gender as a spectrum. I believe that neurodiversity makes the world a richer place. I view pleasure as a human right.

I work with individuals, couples /folks in relationships, and families who are looking to feel more connected to themselves and others, navigate distress and conflict, and build more meaningful relationships and lives. I collaborate with clients to explore your strengths, needs, goals, history, and where you want to go in your life and relationships. I believe it’s important to examine the systems that we live in and how we have learned to navigate and cope within them.
