Every day feels like a struggle. Getting out of bed. Tackling that project at work. It feels like I can't get my life together! Oh great- another argument with my significant other. Where have all of my friendships gone? And what is going on in my head? All the thoughts- they come, they hang around, they nag me, they keep me up at night. You've thought about therapy before. But is this the kind of thing that people go to therapy for? Can I talk about ....? Am I "normal"? If you've said things like this to yourself, you have company. I can help.
Hi! I'm your friendly neighborhood neurodivergent elder-queer therapist. I especially love being of service to my fellow neuro-spicy and gender, sexual, affectional and relationship diverse folx. Therapy is my "special interest"; my investment in post graduate training in both working with couples and sex therapy is extensive.
If you have been considering getting into therapy for some time, either alone or with a significant someone for couples sessions, there's no time like now. I am accepting new clients, and offer a variety of session times to suit a wide range of schedules. Feel free to give me a call today.

Different clients have different needs and one size does not fit all. Most of my work with clients pulls primarily from the Gottman Method and trauma informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including sex therapy. Both modalities help clients identify relationship damaging patterns in behavior and thought, replacing them with new skills.
