Some concerns that bring people to me are their experience of loneliness, depression, and anxiety; feelings of worry, emptiness, and sadness; a search for connection and meaning in relationships and work; life transitions; perfectionism; self-doubt; relationship difficulties; divorce; searching for life direction and a sense of purpose; loss and grief; and exploration of identity. I work with people through collaborative, interactive conversation to help them gain insight, to develop strategies to approach their life challenges, and to feel known and understood. People describe me as empathic, genuine, and with a sense of humor.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** I believe that there is no "single" treatment that works best for everyone. I have found that the most effective therapy is when it is tailored to the unique needs of each client. We will spend time becoming acquainted with one another and arriving at a shared understanding of your treatment goals. My practice focuses on creating space in which transformation is possible and old patterns can shift into something that allows for growth and possibility. We will work on the issues that you bring to the table, and together, we will carve out a road map that will help lead you to a more authentic self.

Therapy is a collaborative process in which people can make meaning of their current life situations, develop insight about the impact of past experiences, and gain clarity about intentions and goals. I bring humor, compassion, genuine curiosity, and a sense of shared humanity to help people feel more connected to themselves and to others. My areas of speciality include emerging adulthood and college students, LGBTQ identities, life transitions, anxiety and mood issues, and relationship concerns.

I have several decades of experience providing therapy to people from many walks of life.

It is my honor to build trust at your pace, so that we can walk together in partnership on this journey. We will work to allow your strengths, your sorrows and your joys to build toward inner wholeness with courage, self compassion and clarity.

*NOW OFFERING TELEHEALTH - I’M SORRY BUT MY CASELOAD IS FULL AT THIS TIME * A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance) and the brain/body's ability to heal.. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and body/mind tools to assist you in your healing. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic,and knowledgeable.

Through my experience working with youth in various settings such as, schools, residential programs and hospitals, one thing has become most obvious: youth of all ages need a safe, accountable environment to explore all that has happened and is happening in their lives, how they are affected and how they engage with it and move forward. Beyond my work in these settings, I have personally felt and seen the apparent need within our communities. I collaborate with youth and families in digging deep to identify social, emotional, and behavioral needs, as well as, developing the strength to support and maintain well-being.
