Availability: Currently no openings for ongoing clients. I am always available for single-session letters of support for gender-affirming surgery. For the last 7 years, I have worked with trans, nonbinary, and gender-questioning adolescents, adults, and their families. I work with folks who are seeking support around gender feelings, gender dysphoria, gender-related trauma, navigating the many aspects of social and medical transition, or are simply wanting mental health support (for anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, etc.) without the added stress of explaining or educating on trans and nonbinary-ness.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals and families to promote growth and empowerment through supportive listening, mindfulness, and examination of past experiences, allowing clients to cultivate insight and bring about lasting change. I use a collaborative and dynamic approach that incorporates multiple theoretical approaches and techniques to meet both individual and family needs and preferences. I believe that insight alone does not bring about change; rather, we must do something different to become something different. I offer compassion, humor, honesty, and straightforward feedback while I empower individuals and families to explore their own goals and work toward growth and healing.

Navigating our current world is no easy task, especially if you are queer, trans, non-binary, gay or lesbian or practice non traditional relationship structures. Many of us experience depression, anxiety, intense self doubt, or even self hatred. I will offer you a safe yet engaging space where we can challenge and heal the blocks that get in your way.

Making changes and building a life worth living can be overwhelming when you don't understand why you keep repeating the same patterns of behavior, over and over. It's even more frustrating when you try to do things to feel better, but don't understand why you're failing to make progress. But there is hope! I work with clients who have felt stuck, often for many years, to identify patterns of thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of their goals, and work together to create sustainable changes. I specialize in working with clients who find themselves stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.

I am passionate about working with BIPOC folks to unpack their racial trauma. I have a strong social justice lens, and have worked extensively with marginalized populations. I am skilled at supporting folks struggling with anxiety, life changes, and trauma. I believe that each person comes with their own strengths. I work with my clients to understand who they are and support them to achieve their goals. I strive to have a non-judgmental approach to people’s experiences. I see the value and dignity in each person.

Emotional honesty is key for therapy to have legs yet also presents a central paradox: What if you don't have language for it quite yet? Together we can listen carefully and explore your inner life and interpersonal worlds. We can be curious together and discover how you may have developed repeated patterns and expectations that may leave you feeling stuck. I practice relationally which means I use aspects of our relationship as a tool to understand you more deeply. I find this offers you the freedom to make life-affirming choices and improve relationships to self and others.

Throughout my work, I have learned that many people feel confused, lost, alone and ashamed when it comes to sex. In particular, many people I work with feel conflicted about their porn and masturbation habits, paying for sex, or their ability to keep agreements with partners. As a certified sex therapist, I offer a non-judgmental space to help you identify which behaviors are no longer serving you, as well as to cultivate the kind of relationship you want to have with your sexuality.

I am a clinician who strongly believes in the importance of authentic human connection and a feeling of belonging. In today's world, it can feel isolating in both physical & emotional ways, sometimes resulting in unfamiliar/uncomfortable feelings. The good news is that those feelings don't have to be permanent and you are capable of learning coping skills to manage them. My background includes working with many diverse populations and age ranges. From those experiences, I draw from a person centered, strength based perspective. This means that I honor who you are, where you've been and what experiences have helped to shape you.

I am sex- and body-positive, supporting healthy relationships in all forms. At the core of my practice is holistic awareness, trauma-informed care, and a commitment to collective liberation.

Have you been harmed by the impacts of racialized violence, by queer and transphobia, by weight stigma, or by any other systems of oppression that permeate the world in which we live? I want to collaborate with you in exploration of your own lived reality and experiences of trauma within the context of your intersecting identities. I will partner with you, and create a space that nourishes an openness into which your lived meanings may emerge in their full richness and complexity.

I have been privileged to care about and help clients for nearly 30 years. I work to understand their particular pain and identify their patterns. Together, we honor those patterns for the benefits they provide and experiment with updating them to allow for conscious choice and a better fit to current circumstances and opportunities. Often, traumatic experiences have shaped the patterns they chose, and clients will again need to choose how to respond to the traumatic material and its reverberations. Clients may additionally be impacted by chronic illness, mood disorders/Bipolar, attentional issues/ADHD, grief and loss.

I have been a psychotherapist for 30 years. My approach is cogintive behavioral. I typically give clients "homework" to help extend therapeutic evperience and insight into their daily lives. I took Buddhist vows in 1986 and will teach clients basic meditation techniques to facilitate working with patterns of thought and emotion more productively. I use Dialectic Behavior Therapy strategies (often with homework assignments), motivational interviewing, and hypnosis (primarily for addictive behavior and trauma recovery). I work with individuals, couples, and families.

I’m a systems-savvy, person-centered, radically affirming provider who excels at the intersection where clinical mental health disorders meet cultural and identity issues. I love to explore gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, race, and everything else that makes you, YOU! I form deep therapy relationships with clients, and love to collaborate on a transparent, personal level. When I challenge you to grow, you’ll know I come from an earnest base of compassion, commitment, and care... I want to help individuals to feel fun, outrageous, and free, and to develop key understandings into their own psychology, preferences, and needs.

Therapy provides a second chance. I listen carefully and thoughtfully to you. This opens up new ways of approaching problems. "Putting two heads together" lightens the load.
People can inadvertently "shoot themselves in the foot," by using ways to protect themselves that were necessary in the past but now keep them from getting what they most want. Together we understand the issues you struggle with, and why these are difficult for you. Doing this in a non-judgmental relationship helps you feel more compassion for yourself. This leads to increased self esteem and a stronger sense of self.
