You want to overcome your past, find the bravery to take risks, and heal the deepest roots of your distress. You seek counseling that centers collaboration, consent, compassion, presence, and authenticity to live a meaningful life based on self-love and inner peace.

Are you someone who never thought you would be looking for a therapist? Are problems that were once manageable now feeling as though they aren't? As a trauma-informed therapist, I am dedicated to opening spaces for those problems that are haunting you, or have haunted you for years. I consciously work to help you recognize that you are uniquely separate from your problems. Separating ourselves from the problems in our lives, such as grief, addiction, anxiety, love, or violence will guide us toward healing through crisis or times when we feel stuck.

Welcome – and thank you for your interest in the possibility of working together. Choosing to work with a new therapist is a deeply personal and sometimes difficult decision; especially when considering the balance of vulnerability and trust that's typically required to make progress toward your mental health goals. My approach is highly relational, empathetic, compassionate, and collaborative - all of which are essential traits when working with adults and teens (age 18+) who are focused on overcoming anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction; along with a handful of other common co-occurring concerns.

Therapy can be a transformative space for individuals, couples, and families to reimagine the way they relate to themselves and one another. Deep down, we believe we all want what is best for ourselves, our relationships and our families, but sometimes the pains from the past and uncertainty of life can block us from fulfillment and true connection. Life is difficult and can bring unimaginable pain. Relationships and parenting are complex. Everyone needs support.

The world can be a harsh place for someone who doesn’t fit the mold of the majority or adhere to the dominant cultural narrative because it doesn’t fit who they are inside. This struggle can leave you feeling depressed, anxious, and hopeless. I create a supportive therapeutic space to help you unpack your emotions, process struggles, and voice the impacts you have felt from living in a society that can be un-accepting, oppressive, and even abusive. I can help you develop safety from within, healthy coping tools, and brainstorm ways of connecting with community so you can live a fully authentic life.

There are times in life when difficulties feel insurmountable, and all you really need is to be heard. Sometimes the complexities of contemporary living present problems that get in the way of who and how we want to be. I can help you understand the obstacles that are undermining your happiness, and to trust again in your own intuition to discover the strengths that are already there within you. While we can't change situations of the past or the family's we were born into, there is potential here for you to better understand how your past experiences and/or current challenges are interfering with your ability to enjoy life fully.

I consider myself a compassionate, experienced therapist with a warm presence, adept at creating a safe space for you to express yourself and be heard. I offer eighteen years of experience as a social worker and therapist and have helped hundreds of clients navigate the path through emotional terrain that can sometimes feel overwhelming. My passion is helping individuals and couples figure out and fix what’s NOT working in their lives, so they can move forward into the best that’s still to come.

It is difficult to take that first step and ask for help, to find a connection in a trusted therapist. I offer a genuine and collaborative counseling environment for individuals, couples and families. If life's issues from everyday challenges to life changing events have become overwhelming, I want you to know that you are not alone. Or, if your relationship has lost that emotional connection, there may be a path toward re-discovery and new discovery. Our work can help you to understand the sources of your distress in ways that will allow you to think more clearly, feel more deeply, and manage your relationship more effectively.

People I see include those who want to restore resilience and love in their relationship; people who need to get a teen or adult child to be constructive and respectful; people who are reacting to people or situations in a way that is not in line with their values (my de-triggering approach that includes EMDR is important for this) because of trauma or other things; people who want a body-mind approach to chronic pain; those who have depression that traditional methods are not helping well enough.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
