I hold specializations in group, family and couples therapy as well as a cerification in the unique patterns established in gay
Change is inevitable but the passageway to it is difficult to navigate alone. Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between client and therapist to aid in that journey. This is achieved through a careful look at the ingredients in life that have resulted in a unique recipe for self-structure and patterning in each person. To change the recipe is to recalculate it's components, gradually sifting out past patterns that have led to disappointment or loss and replace them with others that lead to personal fulfillment. These patterns manifest themselves in work, personal and parenting concerns.

As a queer person myself, I have a passion for working with queer, trans, and gender-expansive clients.
I have found in my personal therapy as well as my work with clients that somatic techniques make the biggest, most sustainable impact. Connecting to our bodies really does make a difference! For that reason, I'm trained in EMDR, and incorporate it as a tool for clients to process trauma more effectively.

I often work with clients who are LGBTQIA+ identified and/or ethically non-monogamous.
I offer my clients a nonjudgmental space where they can explore their feelings, learn more about themselves, and continue to grow. Life can often be challenging, and I like to help others feel confident in their ability to get through those tough times. I have training in cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and psychodynamic therapy. Every person is unique, and I collaborate with each client to develop a plan that is tailored to them.

Insight is good, but change is better! If you are strugglng with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, you may have been "just living with it" for awhile. Ask yourself: "How would my life be different if I didn't feel this way?"

We can work together to determine the best way to achieve your goals in a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental environment.

I am white and queer and approach my work through a social justice lens.
Are you feeling overwhelmed or lost? Stuck or disconnected? Do you feel like an important part of yourself has been quieted or hidden? I believe relationships are the source of healing. In my years as a therapist I have seen how being in the attuned presence of another can provide relief and allow needed change to unfold. Feelings and experiences that feel difficult to bear alone can be held with another.

I have supported individuals in exploring their gender and sexuality and embrace non-binary, trans, and queer identities.

Within the therapeutic space we can develop insight that expands our consciousness of self, other, and the world around us.

Since the age of eight, I have regularly attended counseling, and it saved me. Decades later, counseling has become my calling--my desire to share the techniques that help us cope with the forces in our lives we cannot control.

My mission is to help you build your individual strength, gain insight, and develop effective ways of coping with life and relationships.
