Accepting new clients/couples NOW- Online Video Therapy - Couples and individuals! I am a direct, tell-it-how-it-is therapist. I don't want you to be in therapy forever... we get straight to the root, do the work, get the skills you need and you become your own therapist. 8-10 sessions is the goal. If you're not ready to do the work, I'm not the therapist for you. But, if you're ready to step into courage and out of comfort, I'm ready to charge the storm with you. Couples like my straightforward approach, giving you the proven communication skills for healthier relationships. Do the hard, courageous thing and email me.
People who have anxiety, self-esteem, grief, depression and relationship issues. I believe that humor mixed with real talk can help us get through the ugly and out to the other side. "Let me help you find the rainbow in the clouds". LGBTQIA-affirming.
Let me help you find the right place. If it's not with me, I can guide you in the right direction. Meet with me anytime, anywhere, from your phone or computer via video. I teach you the tools you need to be your own therapist. Morning, evening, and weekend appointments available. FREE 15 minute consultation! Email is best!

I'm a brief therapist (8-10 sessions), very direct, structured, to-the-point. I'm here to help you get where you want to be, but I'll hold you accountable to doing the work. I want you to get the tools and graduate therapy and come for refreshers, if you want. You have everything within you, we just have to unlock it. You get what you put in to therapy. Let's find your power!
