I believe that a good relationship with my clients is a necessary precondition to good therapy. I balance compassion and acceptance with a firm, challenging stance. After all, we don't grow from sitting in our comfort zones! My areas of expertise include treating eating, weight, and body image issues, mood and anxiety disorders, and helping people through difficult life transitions. While women's issues are a specialty, I have worked with clients with a range of gender identifications and I aim to provide gender affirming care. My clients are diverse by age, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, race, and ethnicity.

I have worked with clients with issues such as marital problems, but they improved self-esteem, advocacy, and assertiveness in therapy, which reduced conflict with their spouse. My ideal client is someone motivated to change at the onset of therapy, who is committed to attending regular therapy sessions, identifies their goals, and focuses on a collaborative process to achieve their goals.

Normal is just a setting on your dryer. If you agree with this, then I'm your guy! I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach.

Additionally, I have extensive experience working with clients suffering from depression, grief, relationship concerns, anxiety, and those who are caregiving elderly parents. I am available to conduct drug and alcohol interventions, if needed, and see clients of all ages.

As an Integrative Therapist, I offer uniquely tailored care that goes beyond traditional psychotherapy. I am a Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapist who understands and celebrates neurodiversity. Typically, those who are drawn to working with me have been failed because of misunderstood neurological differences, including ADHD and C-PTSD. They have a need for specialized care that may not be commonly offered. I transcend standalone therapy to address this complexity.
