The foundation of my counseling approach is in a compassionate and understanding therapeutic relationship. Furthermore, I integrate the art and science of psychological treatment, and tailor treatment specifically to you. I consider your needs, strengths, and values, and collaborate with you so that you may reach your goals. My strength-based approach incorporates elements from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, experiential, and mindfulness perspectives. Much of my training has been within college aged populations, but I enjoy working with individuals of all ages. Video sessions are available.

Have you been struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, intimacy issues, or problems that don't go away? Collaborating with a therapist who can provide insight, guidance, and tools to uncover and develop your strengths can be the transformative factor you need. You deserve to live a happier, more satisfying life but unless you take the first step to solve your problems, they will never go away. If you are an individual, couple, or pod desiring to open your relationship or there is a need to address challenges encountered in a consensual non-monogamous relationship, I have the experience to help you navigate both.

Conversations that make a difference are my passion! Let's discover new ways you can move forward, toward your personal goals, your professional goals, and your relationship goals.
Life's transitions and changes can be difficult -- especially on top of the everyday stresses you are already experiencing! Transitions can be challenging, even when you choose them (marriage, children, a new job, retirement, etc.) Transitions that are imposed on you can be even more difficult (divorce, cancer, job loss, aging parents, infidelity, or grief from the death of a friend, spouse, partner, or parent.) Facing any of these can be difficult. Facing several at the same time can be overwhelming! These experiences can have devastating effects on your health, your happiness, and your ability to feel hope.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
