A young and successful woman came to see me. She was already on her professional path and she was happily married. She had many friends and a full and busy life. I said to her, “Your life sounds so good. You’ve achieved so many things. Tell me, what’s on your mind?” “I have a problem with talking about my feelings,” she said. “I can’t find the words.” She had grown up in a ‘go, go, go’ household. Neither parent had the time or attention for listening to her feelings. She learned that the best way to live was to ‘go, go, go.’ But she didn’t fully like this. She noticed that there were times that something bothered her...

Do you ever feel stuck in some way, even shut down or have difficulty getting out of bed? Are there times when you turn to food or diet as a way to manage strong emotions? I specialize in working with women who experience anxiety, depression and eating disorders. I will help you engage in the creative process to explore underlying issues and reveal hidden strengths. Art therapy offers a profound way of transforming and healing images stuck just beneath the surface and this can lead to more satisfying connections, greater confidence, renewed energy, and an ability to thrive in both work and home environments.

Approximately 90% of my practice is made up of people who identify as trans/non-binary as well as those who don't fit traditional societal norms. I work with individuals (youth through adult), couples, families, churches, schools, and the workplace and hold the intention to always remain respectful of where the client is on their path. Though many of my clients are TGNB & GLB, I also work with folks who are just looking for a non-judgmental person to support them in working out issues such as parent/child relationships, attachment, and life struggles. Regardless of the client, I take a holistic approach which is strengths-based.

We feel emotions in our bodies. Sometimes, our emotions cause physical discomfort. Other times, we feel so strongly we become numb and disconnected. Becoming overwhelmed can leave us feeling lonely and misunderstood. We want to connect with others and enjoy life, but we also want to protect ourselves. In therapy with me, you will learn how to understand, appreciate, and work with your emotions to cultivate your relationships, fulfillment, and vitality. Therapy will not remove your feelings or creativity. It will help you understand and work with your emotions, rather than succumb to them.

Life is often stressful. Modern life keeps moving, even when we might really need a moment to reflect and connect. In my practice, I hope to offer children, adolescents, young adults, and families time to pause and process their experiences. In the pause, we might find new paths and connections to forge. I support clients experiencing anxiety disorders (GAD, OCD, Social Anxiety, etc.), mood disorders (depression, adjustment disorders, etc.), neurodiversity, family conflict, stress management concerns, and aid parents in need of support.

I specialize in family trauma, PTSD, and relationship issues with individuals and couples. Do the same issues keep coming up even if you can’t describe what’s wrong? Do you want to thrive and not just survive? Are you committed to making real changes? You’re motivated – what you need is guidance and support from someone who has helped many others walk a similar path. I provide the structure needed to improve your relationship to yourself and your relationship to others. Maybe you never learned how to have healthy relationships or how to take care of yourself. It's not your fault, but it is your responsibility to master these skills.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field I have worked with clients from all walks of life. While everyone is unique in their struggles, I believe that most suffering can be alleviated by addressing root causes such as early childhood traumas, nervous system dysfunction, and family of origin wounding.

With 40 years of experience, I work with individuals and couples, straight and gay, African Americans, Caucasians and other racial and ethnic groups as well as other therapists helping with their unique life challenges. I also work with those having chronic illness and cancer. Challenge and loss are inevitable-- whether they be associated with love, family, health or trust or over how we hoped our life would turn out. Living well means learning a repertoire to deal with challenges so we don't remain stuck, angry or depressed.

We all experience challenges in our lives. My goal for over two decades has been to assist people with working through the many stressors that we face on a daily basis. From anxiety, depression, various forms of trauma, to improving self-love and self-care, I enjoy helping BIPOC women find ways to balance their lives and heal holistically. Many of us have struggled with negative self-talk, oftentimes impacting our ability to act. I would love to assist you with realigning your mind/body/spirit to a healthier way of thinking and living.

Now Accepting New Clients for July: Individuals, couples, and families- Therapy is a collaborative journey of discovery. It is my belief that our healing lies in the gifts we have yet to uncover. As we learned to exist in this challenging world, these gifts often became clouded or adapted to meet our survival needs. The weight of our past, the stress of our daily lives, and our fears for the future can begin to drag us down and dull our experience. Through a process that is gentle, intuitive and individually tailored my goal is to help you unearth your gifts so you can move through your life with more lightness and ease.

Maybe you’ve been depressed, anxious, or feeling bad about yourself. Maybe you’re tired of this, and want to get to the roots of these feelings, so you can heal. Often present symptoms are built on traumatic past experiences, the feelings associated, and the narratives and strategies that you created to make sense of it all. I believe healing comes when you examine these experiences, feel the feelings in a safe, caring environment, and view these experiences in a fresh, more accurate, more compassionate light. You can then rewrite the narratives that have held you back, and start to try out all kinds of new things in your life.
