These uncertain times can feel overwhelming. I specialize in working within the LGBTQIA community. And I offer gender affirming care.If you're feeling anxious, depressed, or both, therapy could be helpful for you. Now is a great time to seek therapy and find a safe place to connect, mine resources, discover tools and explore ways to help you manage challenges. I provide a warm, practical and comfortable practice where you can expect to be treated with respect, kindness, a sense of humor, compassion. I see adult individuals, teens and families. I have over 30 years of experience with teens and parents. Come in person, or online.

Meet Butters, my therapy dog! He offers excellent animal assisted therapy. My approach is solution focused, collaborative, compassionate, and process oriented. Interventions include ACT, CBT, clinical hypnosis, family systems, animal assisted therapy, and attachment therapy. I build upon strengths and resources, with expertise and collaboration.

Challenges truly can be opportunities, they offer information to help us grow and change. When people are in pain I know how important it is to have a compassionate and safe place to find ways to heal, to feel and to function better. I can help you find sustainable, sensible solutions that makes sense to you. Come in and talk, plan, work, practice and heal.
