I focus on empowering people to connect with their values and strengths and to heal and grow through challenges. You may be suffering with stress in a relationship, school, or work. You may be transitioning through a difficult stage of life, or wrestling with issues of identity. You may feel stuck in old patterns that hold you back while you are yearning to move forward. Drawing on mindfulness-based practice, informed especially by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental and collaborative approach to psychotherapy.

Are you seeking support for increased self-insight and a more purposeful focus on wellbeing in your own mind and heart and relationships? I have trained in several therapeutic modalities throughout my professional life, including person-centered, gestalt, CBT, psychodynamic, narrative, collaborative and organizational and family systems approaches. In the therapy space, my clients explore clarifying their own beliefs, managing their emotional reactions in relationships, using their voices more effectively in their various roles, and balancing role demands of family, work, and social contexts which we often juggle simultaneously.

There are a lot of ways to practice therapy. One crucial aspect of any "good" therapy is that it helps you expand your curiosity and open-mindedness about yourself - who you have been, who you are, and who you would like to be. Towards this aim, I listen with a commitment to my own openness, mindful of our shared humanity. As a clinical social worker and psychoanalyst, I see folks with a range of concerns from diverse cultural backgrounds. I work relationally and think contextually, knowing our social worlds are integral to who we are.

Life’s difficult turns can motivate us to take action for change. You may have daily challenges with low moods, anxiety, problems with memory or concentration, trauma, chronic pain, or grief. Or maybe you have past experiences that continue to hurt you. Psychotherapy can become a valuable tool to address these challenges starting with where you are now. It can be an opportunity to assess your current situation, clarify your goals, and build skills that empower you toward increased well-being, better directions, and desired outcomes.

My mission is to help my clients better understand who they are, what they want from this life, and how to move towards a more integrated self. My alternative style of therapy blends traditional talk therapy with non-traditional therapeutic methods such as nature therapy, mindfulness-based practices, music, art, movement, and nature-based groups. I have found both personally and professionally that nature, creative expression, and physical activity set the stage for healing and growth, and I enjoy incorporating these elements into my therapeutic approach.

I view therapy as a process of deepening awareness of your experience and patterns in order to access greater authenticity and vitality in your life. I serve as a guide in examining your inner world with curiosity and compassion. This exploration—and the intimacy with yourself that emerges—brings with it the capacity to open more fully to life with its ever-changing realities.

My approach comes from a strengths based perspective. I believe that individuals have the ability to make significant life changes by identifying the sources of their current difficulties, understanding why their coping methods may have made good sense at the time, and learning new ways of being in the world that fit with who they are now and that support their growth and heart's desire. My role is to provide a supportive, trust-based environment and help individuals create the lives they wish to live.

I am a queer, pre-licensed professional. In sessions, I combine academic, lived, and clinical experiences to create a client-focused therapeutic environment based on collaboration and community. My training has centered on working with queer and trans adolescents and young adults, as well as partnership work, including monogamous, ENM, and poly relationship constellations. In my clinical work, I believe in the strength of authenticity, connection, warmth, and empathy. I primarily draw on narrative, dialogic, and relational approaches in my work. Anti-oppression, social justice, and intersectional feminist lenses are also central.

My specialties include health psychology, relationship issues, depression, anxiety and addictions. I run support groups for MS and Huntington's disease as part of my practice. I have a pragmatic approach to treatment in terms of adapting interventions to meet the needs of the individual. I am interested in mindfulness and its impact on well being. There are so many opportunities to bring about positive change by altering how we relate to both present circumstances and past experience.
