Emotional struggles exist for all people, it matters whether we pay attention to them or not. It is a choice to come to therapy. It's an investment of your time, effort and mental well-being. The beauty of therapy is learning we are not alone and understanding and empathy are there for us to access as we live our daily lives. When thinking, decisions, actions and feels create a feeling of being "stuck" or confused, therapy can be one of your options. Feelings are always there. They exist whether we like it or not. Discovering how these feelings play out in our lives, can bring us to a new level of productive awareness.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! As your counselor, I don’t have all the answers. I can’t make your dreams come true, that extra 10lbs disappear or your marriage happy. But – I can help YOU make all those things happen. Therapy is hard work – I’ll tell you that now. I’ll challenge you, call out nonsense and push you to be the best version of yourself you can be. I will also be your biggest cheerleader, your bulldog and ultimately, your guide. I can’t promise you therapy with me will be easy. But I can promise you if you put in the work, it'll be worth it.

Trauma lives in all of us. We all carry our histories. Trauma is in our lived experiences, it is not about the traumatic event, rather about how it impacts us. Our perception of self, the aftermath on our nervous system & how it disconnects us from ourselves and others. Our brains have natural healing mechanisms. We can neurologically rewire & relearn; creating new, less destructive circuitry within the brain. Don't let your struggle become your identity. Become empowered to overcome life's toughest challenges!

Are you an expert at covering up your deepest feelings so much that those closest to you are unaware you are struggling? Is it hard for you to let people in emotionally, out of fear? Does this sometimes manifest in shame, irritability, miscommunication, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and inauthenticity? It rarely feels like the “right time” to navigate our most vulnerable feelings, until we start.

I bring a holistic and somatic lens to assisting folks with processing through past and/or recent trauma, as well as just difficult feelings. There are a number of treatment modalities that I am trained in, but most importantly I believe in being client-centered. We are our own best expert, even if we don’t always feel like it!

Welcome! Are you ready to unburden from ingrained patterns, heal trauma wounds, and welcome joy, connectedness, and wonderment into your life? I can help. I'm an attachment-focused and trauma-informed psychotherapist with a curious mind, open heart, and hearty sense of humor. I believe that therapy should feel nourishing and meaningful - and the effects should be transformative. As a Narrative, Mindfulness, Sandtray, and IFS trained therapist, I helps clients “re-author” their lives — often using experiential and expressive arts activities or guided ‘parts’ exercises in order to make space for new ways of thinking and understanding.

Together we can create the tools you need to navigate your life with increased ease and less distress.

A catalyst may be a person or a thing that precipitates a change. When you see the change, you can be the change! As a licensed clinical social worker I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, groups and families in the areas of trauma and resilience, anxiety, depression, as well as grief and loss. As a member of the gay community, a presenter and writer in this field, I have worked with folks that are moving toward being fully integrated in their lives. Matching what we know about our inner selves with our outer selves and celebrating ourselves within our communities, may require some assistance along the way.

My clients are children from infancy through age 10 (and their parents and caregivers) who want to improve their relationships and the ways they function in this difficult world. I help them understand each other, communicate, process their emotions, deal with life’s problems, and heal from past wounds, especially from trauma. Trauma can affect children’s behaviors and emotions in ways that may be surprising. They may seem withdrawn or angry or highly emotional or defiant ... and sometimes all of these in one day! Children who have not been traumatized may also run this gamut, leaving parents confused.
