We often learn ways of dealing with problems that can create more trouble than we intended. Maybe you become habitually hard on yourself or those around you. Maybe you feel stuck in indecision or backed into a corner by life's demands. Maybe you have found ways to soothe yourself that aren't serving you anymore. Or you might be facing the reality of one of life's painful truths such as loss, illness or an accident that has altered your course, leaving you unsure how to face what undeniably is, or how to move forward.

Are you heartbroken? Anxious? Angry? All of the above and more? You are welcome here. You may have a relationship that is falling apart or make the same bad decisions again and again. You may be overwhelmed by an overly critical mind that says you are undeserving, less than, or too much. Perhaps you take care of others and forget to take care of yourself. You long for companionship and have a deep desire to matter, to belong, and to be respected.

Have you been trying to build intimate connections with your partner/s but your chronic illness is making it difficult? Do you feel like you don’t have the words to communicate what you’re experiencing with the people in your life? This can be anxiety provoking and is common with people trying to navigate life after an acquired invisible disability. Unfortunately, avoiding the issue can cause resentment which can lead to long-term problems. This is where an empathic and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship can help develop the tools needed to have intimate conversations and self-reflect what you need.

I'm interested in working on your goals and helping you change perspective on any self-defeating thoughts you might have. Talking about a problem, issue or concern can be cathartic. Anxiety and depression are all too common in today's fast paced technology driven culture. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy takes on multiple evidence based therapeutic approaches that can help you be the best version of yourself.

Couples, Older Adults, Adults. Please call to schedule a free phone consultation. Are you feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, or have you simply found yourself wanting more from your life? People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, and this seeking is often the first brave step toward living into a sense of greater possibility and deeper relationships! I view therapy first and foremost as a relationship that arises from a conversation. That conversation can be transformative and healing, can take many forms, and is an act of co-creation between you and me.

Caseload full. I primarily work with adult individuals and adult couples (for sexual health concerns). Telehealth only. I believe, as human beings, we want to feel respected, loved, valued, appreciated, and understood. I believe most of us want to make a difference in the lives of those around us - our loved ones, friends and community. Navigating life can be difficult at times. We can all benefit from a safe, knowledgeable, and compassionate guide. I strive to help people become more connected to themselves, so that we can connect more authentically to others and expand our capacity to feel better and cultivate lasting fulfillment.

I also work well with men's issues and struggles with masculinity.
Many of us learn early on that our belonging in this world depends on our ability to banish aspects of ourselves that cannot be safely held by others. We skillfully fold and shrink ourselves into the shapes that allow us to survive, sometimes with great reward for doing so, but find that our deepest longings go unmentioned and unmet. I am here to hold space for those parts which are too big, too unbearable to be held alone, so that my clients can expand in ways that help them contact their feelings, connect to their desires, and begin to find a home in the world.

Men's Issues Therapists

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?

Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?

Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?

One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
