Everyone deserves the chance to get to know themselves more deeply and find the path that will lead them to their best life possible. When mental health is a challenge, that can be hard. I am here to guide you and overcome those barriers that may be getting in the way of your happiness. I seek to make counseling approachable, comfortable, gratifying, and even a little fun. My approach is strengths based and client centered. I believe that all people have strengths, values, and needs unique to them that should guide the treatment process.

I work with adolescents and adults who are often experiencing anxiety, needing support with ADHD or navigating a major life transition. I also work with couples. Life can be hard, overwhelming. And, it can a toll. Maybe you are fighting a lot with family, feeling insecure, feeling anxious, or simply exhausted. I work with individuals and couples who want to feel different– people who feel ready to turn towards themselves to take care.
My approach to therapy is rooted in helping people better understand their inner and emotional world, and using that as a guide for real change and greater well-being.

My goal is to offer both outpatient and group therapy!

We're a group of mental health therapists who work to assist people by listening actively, identifying strengths and supports to be used or to be developed, sharing science-based research and practical tools, promoting insight and understanding of various contributing factors, and ultimately helping clients find lasting solutions. Our work is defined by the client’s vision of what they want life to become, both the inner life and the outer life.

I have never met an addict or alcoholic with a drug or drinking problem. Does this sound strange? The fact is I've met hundreds of individuals with a solution that is no longer working. Drugs and alcohol have been the solution, not the problem. Addicts and Alcoholics have an above average intelligence and a highly sensitive nervous system. This combination is especially challenging in these unprecedented times when it is natural to reach for relief in the form of a substance or behavioral addiction. If your solution is no longer working, I am here to help. I have maintained sobriety for 45 years. It can be done.

The decision to come to therapy is a powerful one. In our work together, we’ll team up and create distance from stressors, such as anxiety, perfectionism, and other external pressures. You will likely find me warm, engaged, and direct. Our sessions will seem active and conversational- you will not feel like you are the only one doing the talking!

Unconditional positive regard is the idea of being accepted and supported, no matter what. Unconditionally. While it would be ideal to always be surrounded by people who provide this, if you aren’t, you can find it in our space together. With over a decade of experience working with those who have experienced trauma, I am trained in Perinatal Mental Health, EMDR, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My goal is to help you feel empowered to make the decisions that will help you live your best life.

July 24, 2024 - (Important: My availability remains mostly limited to coaching and private pay sessions at this time.) Most people I work with share concerns about what's wrong with them and that shows up as self blame, doubt, judgment and insecurity. I work frequently with adult men who experience ongoing symptoms related to attention deficit disorder.

All of us face challenges every day. Some are large in nature and require a lot of assistance to get through, others are smaller and require minimal help. Therapy starts with identifying these challenges and then developing the skills to reduce and ideally resolve them. Some therapy focuses on gaining insight into the origin of the issue which helps to reduce and resolve it, other therapy is focused on solving a specific issue. Some therapy spans years while others can be as short as a few months. I believe in the inherent healing capacity of the individual.

Life is challenging and most people come to a point where they need a little help. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in stress management, treatment of anxiety disorders, and life transitions. I will meet you wherever you are on your path. I am a big believer in the value of focused, short-term therapy. Some clients may just need a few sessions to process a difficult situation, gain some perspective and make some meaningful changes.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step? I specialize in supporting adults with navigating ADHD, major life transitions, gender identity exploration, parenting, or the impacts of anxiety and depression.
As an LGBTQIA+ and neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I offer a safe, open-minded, and non-judgmental space to explore your identity, untangle racing thoughts, and reconnect with what matters most. If you’re feeling lost in the noise of daily life or exhausted from trying to “keep it all together,” you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out alone, either.

Do you find yourself climbing the same mountain over and over? Sometimes we find ourselves seeming to face the same trial, the same people, or the same patterns. The question is what do we do about it? How do we break these cycles in order to build something better? I work with both individuals, couples, and families to break the cycles that no longer serve them. My practice is rooted in helping clients to attune to their own needs, their capacity for self-compassion, and their internal drive to be an active participant in the development of their future.
