My ideal client—my people—are ready for real change. They’re thoughtful, self-aware, and tired of managing symptoms instead of transforming patterns. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma responses, or feeling stuck in fear-based thinking, even after previous therapy. They’re open-minded, value authenticity, and willing to explore how thoughts, emotional states, and energy shape their lived experience. They want a therapeutic relationship that feels human and real—and they’re ready to learn tools that actually work.

I'm a laid back, queer, therapist who enjoys working with those who are facing challenges with sense of self, relationships/ family dynamics, or difficulties managing the stressors of anxiety or depression. Our past can impact how we view the world and ourselves and I aim to create a space that feels comfortable for you to gain clarity and insight into how your life has created your current experiences. For me, it's important to build a trusting relationship which inspires self-exploration and desire to better understand the complexities of what makes you, you. I enjoy working with young adults, adults, and LGBTQIA+ folks.

I specialize in forensic (legal) evaluations. I most often work with individuals involved in some aspect of the legal system. Though my specialty is the assessment of men and women accused or convicted of sexual offenses, I also have broad-based experience in competency and diminished capacity evaluations, assessment of mentally ill and dangerous persons, and violence risk assessment. I also do trial consultation for the military. Most of my referrals come from the courts and attorneys, though I encourage potential clients to contact me to discuss my services.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and trauma. Racing thoughts, panic attacks, sleepless nights — anxiety and trauma can drain your energy and confidence. Together we will focus on what works: evidence-based tools to shift unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen coping, and rebuild trust in yourself. My goal is that you leave sessions feeling more capable, calm, and connected in your daily life. My first step is to understand you: what you've been carrying, how it affects your relationships, and what feels most urgent to change.

Offering both Telehealth and in-person sessions: (Free dog kisses: see below) Have you ever felt like you don’t quite belong, or that feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, or disconnection sometimes take over? These are normal human experiences, and I believe they’re here to tell us something important. Together, we’ll explore the “why” behind those emotions with curiosity and compassion. Accessibility, inclusion, and disability advocacy are central to my practice. For transparency, I’m accompanied by my mobility assistance service dog during in-person sessions as part of my own accessibility needs.

I enjoy most working with adults who may have a disorder of executive functioning (e.g., ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Learning Disorders. Many unknowingly have these conditions, which also have distinct strengths and offer gifts for others. Those affected can benefit from self-knowledge, education, and treatment. Understanding how to meet personal potential and developing new skills and strategies can make a huge difference. I have been evaluating performing pre-surgical psychological evaluations for two decades. I can accommodate people who need immediate evaluation, usually within a month or sooner.

It’s difficult enough to figure out what you want. But saying it out loud to a partner? That can be even scarier. What if we don’t want the same things? Or, worse still, what if I hurt them? Does any of this sound familiar? Many people live in silence to avoid the pain of hurting another. But at some point that backs up on you. Therapy is your place to give voice to those feelings and decide what, if anything, you want to do with them..

I believe most individuals are much stronger than they realize, and possess an inner wisdom and resilience from which they are currently disconnected. Life is hard. And it is perfectly normal to struggle with anxiety, depression, and stress when facing upheavals and transitions. Tremendous change and growth is often possible through adjustments in lifestyle and thinking patterns, and the tapping into inner resources that are presently underutilized.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists
What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.

Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.

When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
