Searching for a therapist can feel a bit like online dating; endlessly scrolling through photos and profiles in hopes of finding the right match. I'm here to make that process simple and stress-free, so that you can feel comfortable talking about what's really been weighing on you. I'm not that stoic, serious therapist you've traditionally seen portrayed in movies. I smile, I laugh, I frown, I may even (gasp!). Therapy doesn't have to feel super "clinical" in order to have benefits.

Our struggles & pain thrive in isolation, you don't have to do this alone. My approach to therapy is gentle, affirming & collaborative. Guided by trauma-informed philosophy, I view therapy as a collaboration; a space where trust + healing are co-created. Working with a therapist requires vulnerability & courage, it taps into & tests our innate strengths. It will be challenging at times and our capacity for being challenged varies one session to the next, so my priority is to check-in & move at a pace that's accessible. This means sometimes we slow down, and other times, I'll offer a gentle nudge towards critical self-reflection.

You pictured this phase of life to be different - you finally know what you want in a romantic partner, yet trusting & receiving love in the way you want to be feels like it’s still so much harder than it “should” be. You’ve found success at work, yet the goal post keeps moving & you don’t seem to ever truly enjoy the fruits of your labor. Unhealthy dynamics in your family feel so clear to you now - you know you want those relationships to be different, but aren’t sure what to do when you’re triggered, or where to go from here. Life feels stable enough where you’re ready to do the deeper work, you just need a safe space to do so.

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.

You are the expert on you, and you already possess all the tools necessary to heal and achieve your goals! Life experiences however can cause those tools or skills to become buried. In a safe and supportive therapeutic environment my role is to help uncover your “toolbox”, remove the broken or ineffective tools, sharpen the dull ones, and add a few new shiny ones. To embark on this counseling journey several critical therapeutic ingredients are needed: safety, empathy, and trust (SET). You'll lead and I'll closely follow, serving as a skillfully trained second pair of eyes and ears.

You're tired of arguing over small things that somehow turn into major conflicts. What used to be minor disagreements now leave both of you feeling drained, misunderstood, and wondering if things will ever change. Despite your best efforts, the same patterns keep repeating—criticism, defensiveness, and emotional distance have become the norm.
