Whether experiencing distress due to current life circumstances or lingering hurts and difficulties, working with a supportive therapist can help.

I have had the honor of working with people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. I believe in working collaboratively with clients and I strive to provide a welcoming environment that promotes healing, self-acceptance and learning new skills to cope.

People turn to therapy when they are in too much emotional pain, stuck in intractable situations with intimate partners or at work, or acting in ways that are self-destructive or harmful to others. When other solutions have not worked, therapy offers a chance to address and change outmoded ways of being. The therapeutic relationship is key to this work. It offers the possibility of exploring new ways of relating to ourselves and others that can lead to a richer and more fulfilling life. The therapist must provide a place of safety and be a partner in this process.

You may be here because you have tried many methods of healing but find that there are places that you have not yet been able to reach. Perhaps these are places of complex grief, trauma or gender and sexuality. You may have tried psychedelics or other consciousness expanding methods and want help integrating your experiences, or are looking to try Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to help with your healing. All of these things are my specialties and passions.

I am a queer identifying therapist and I like to think of therapy as a big, compassionate exploration. When asked about the type of clients I most work with, I always say, “I love to work with normal neurotics, like you and me.” We get curious together about what is happening for you and explore. I’ve also got a great tool for Anxiety that I use for myself every day that can truly help! Plus, I am a big proponent of self-compassion work and can't stress enough how important it is to give ourselves just as much love and kindness as we give our loved ones. It takes practice but I swear it’s true.

I believe that individual power and potential is boundless, and yet I deeply understand how vulnerable we are to life's pain. The complex emotions involved in loss, family/marital conflict and unpredictable change often require us to find fresh perspective, rebuild internal resources and enhance our self-compassion. I am an active, emotionally engaged therapist with a broad and comprehensive knowledge base that is a touchstone for understanding your individual needs.

As a psychologist, I provide a bridge between traditional psychotherapy and alternative modalities, in a highly individualized approach.Hypnotherapy integrated with psychotherapy can effectively reduce stress and anxiety, while resolving issues of relationships, career, health, or self-development. Hypnosis is a natural way to empower you to "change your brain." Release negative beliefs, shift self-defeating habits to life enhancing ones, discover your "source self" and utilize creative inner resources that you may not even be aware you have.

I believe patients come to us because they feel grief, anxiety, depression and traumatized or alienated from themselves and others. The suffering you experience comes in many forms and you do not always have the words to say what you feel. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents whom have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, creative blocks, ADHD, chronic somatic pains and/or are experiencing grief and loss. I also work with couples and families. I have a specialization in expressive arts therapy and sandtray for those who may have difficulty expressing their feelings, memories and experiences through verbal means.

Making changes is challenging, but together we can work to find ways to make it more possible. If you are wanting to discover why you do what you do and why you choose the people to do it with that you do, we may work well together. I am very warm and empathic, and enjoy working with you to address the problems that you want to change without judgment.

As our world re-opens, many people are experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress due to recent social isolation and the unpredictability of the future.

I am knowledgeable with non-traditional family structures (single parent, multiple caregiver, polyamorous, & LGBT families), transgender adolescent/child issues, anxiety, and neurodiversity . I’ve also begun working with the emotional effects of long Covid and chronic fatigue.

Sometimes, you reach a point where the coping strategies that used to help just don’t work anymore. You might feel overwhelmed, out of control, constantly weighed down by worry, self-doubt, or even physical pain. Maybe you've spent years being highly attuned to others’ emotions and needs, while your own have been left behind. Sleepless nights, forgotten passions, and strained relationships have become familiar but unwanted parts of your life. But now, you're ready for something different. You’re ready to take care of yourself in a new way.
