Therapy is a partnership that grows in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance. It allows us to rediscover the parts of ourselves we had to disown as children in order to keep our caregivers close; to learn new skills to handle grief and distress; to build healthier, more nurturing relationships; and to gain access to our own direct experience of the world, perhaps for the first time. I nurture this collaboration with clients by recognizing that each individual possesses the wisdom he or she needs, as well as the innate capacity to love, to connect, and to thrive.

In therapy, I work primarily with adults navigating the effects of trauma, attachment wounds, and neurodivergence. Many of my clients are high-functioning but exhausted, feeling stuck in old patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is compassionate and affirming, helping you untangle the past while building a more sustainable, fulfilling present.
I also offer neurodiversity affirming evaluations, helping teens (12+) and adults gain clarity about ADHD, autism, and other concerns that impact daily life. My evaluations go beyond checklists to truly understand how your brain works and what you need to thrive.

If talking about sex feels awkward, you’re not alone, that’s where we'll start. Maybe your sex life has become confusing, unsatisfying, infrequent, or nonexistent. Maybe your sexual identity/preference has evolved. Conversations about sex turn into arguments or get avoided altogether. One of you may feel rejected or hurt, while the other feels turned off, pressured or overwhelmed. I blend attachment theory, EMDR, sex therapy, Gottman principles and Emotion Focused Therapy to help people understand the root cause, identify triggers, & rebuild intimacy and communication. I am LGBTQIA+, Neurodivergent, Poly/Kink affirming.

I have been working in the mental health field for over twenty years. Throughout that time I have worked in a variety of settings, all of which have given me a wealth of experience to draw upon. I have always had a passion for the work of psychotherapy, which I feel is ultimately about inner exploration and transformation. Most people come to psychotherapy because they feel like they are stuck in some way. Having another mind and perspective can help to get things moving where they once were stuck. With a spirit of curiosity and collaboration I work with my patients to seek out what may be obstructing their continued growth.

As a counselor, I strive to create a space of safety and support, where each client feels heard and is comfortable to begin the discovery of themselves and the journey to a happier, healthier life.
Within us all is the potential to live our best life, to be our best self, to have fulfilling relationships, to feel good in the morning when we wake up and satisfied with our lives when we fall asleep. We all also have the ability to be our own worst enemy, to gather negativity in our lives, to create destructive pattens which defies our desire for a life full of peace and happiness. The choice is each of ours to make.

I specialize in helping adults and adolescents who are struggling through difficult life situations. My hope is that my clients will begin to emerge from the experience with strength, insight and a sense of empowerment to address the next challenge with grace. Using a strengths-based approach, I employ concepts of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to increase self-awareness and choice within life's challenges. I also use EMDR, an evidence-based approach, to help release the impact of past experiences on current emotions, thoughts and behaviors including traumatic events and childhood trauma.
