My approach to psychotherapy is strength-based, warm and full of respect for each individual and their unique journey. My goal is to help people reach their potential. At times, this can mean dealing with unfinished business from the past; at other times we will concentrate on expanding awareness in the present moment. Most of the time we look at how the past informs the present and how we can move on from our past experiences. In my practice, I pay particular attention to the here and now, being mindful of relational patterns that emerge in the room.

Offering sessions now through telehealth. As we facing a challenging time that we just can't seem to understand. We began to think that there isn't any way that we are going to get through this, that we are going be the same again or that we will ever see the bright side to this adversity. I am here to say to you that while you are hurting today, worried today, depressed today and feeling hopeless....... today doesn't have to define the rest of your life.

Have you "disappeared" in order to be in a relationship? Do you feel "selfish" considering your own needs and wants? Would you like to stand up for yourself AND still be in relationship? Is the phrase, "I matter, too," one you want to believe? If so, the time has come to create effective ways to move into relationship with Self and Others. The truth is that each of us matters equally. When we live from a place of mutual importance, we honor boundaries, make decisions for ourselves, and are responsible for the only person we can truly manage, our self.

Brene Brown said "I believe that love, belonging, and worthiness are a birthright, not something to earn." For me, working with clients means accessing this birthright together through connection and conversation. We are all worthy of love, but additionally, we are all entitled to the space and time to explore who we are with genuine curiosity.

Everyone has strengths that they can utilize and build off of in order to create the change they want. They may need me to help look inward and find them, but I believe strengths are there for everyone. I have been working in this field for over 10 years, and specifically working with individuals and couples in a private practice setting since 2010. During the therapeutic process, you will learn how your past impacts your current interactions, choices, and behaviors. You will learn to understand and identify what is keeping you from your ideal change and how to overcome unhealthy behaviors.

I am passionate about helping motivated clients process relationship dissatisfaction and trauma to work toward a holistic happier, empowered self. No matter its roots in emotional, medical or physical experiences, trauma of all varieties and degrees stays in the body, sometimes emerging many months or years later in unexpected ways. Social, familial and cultural influences affect the perception and processing of these feelings. Relationship friction and troubles with mood can reflect past experiences, some great some small, that may need addressing with an attentive, caring professional.

I am committed to working with individuals, couples, and family members to better comprehend their inner lives, enrich their connections with others, and feel more satisfied in their personal relationships as well as in workplace settings. My approach is influenced by my teaching and scholarship for over 25 years in understanding communication processes in relationships. I am licensed as a clinical social worker and a marriage and family therapist, and I am also an AASECT-certified sex therapist.

People come to me for therapy because: "I am miserable every morning and need a good reason to just get up." "I spend more time online than I do with actual people." " I wish I had more quality relationships. "The sex was not consensual...and no one believes me." "I can't believe everyone can have a baby but me." "I know my eating patterns need to be changed." Drawing on my 35+ years of practice with individuals, couples, and families, I can help you more quickly develop insights into established patterns of thinking and behavior that reinforce these problems.

Approximately 90% of my practice is made up of people who identify as transgender, gender-variant, genderqueer or a variety of other self-identifications that don't quite fit the societal gender restrictions. I work with individuals (youth and adult), couples, families, churches, schools, and the workplace and hold the intention to always remain respectful of where the client is on his or her path. Though most of my clients are transgender, I also work with people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer and questioning. Regardless of the client, I take a holistic approach which is strengths-based.

Research consistently places the quality of the relationship between a therapist and client/patient as the biggest predictor of positive outcome in therapy. Carl Rogers defines a helping relationship as "]one in which at least one of the parties has the intent of promoting the growth, development, maturity, improved functioning, and improved coping with life of the other." What are the characteristics of those relationships that do help facilitate growth and those that don't?
