I feel that much of the work of psychotherapy takes place in the context of the relationship. To that end, I endeavor to create a safe and supportive environment within which a productive working relationship can develop. In this relationship, clients can expect a balance of empathy, respect, and gentle encouragement to do the very difficult work of healing, personal change, and growth. This approach to therapy has enabled me to work successfully with a diverse group of individuals with an array of clinical presentations. As a therapist, I have worked with individuals struggling with issues of identity and life transitions, challenges in relationships, substance abuse, mood disorders, and severe mental illness. While my conceptualization and approach to healing may vary with the needs of the client, my respectful, attentive demeanor remains the same. I bring to the therapeutic relationship, knowledge and experience cultivated through work in a variety of settings (schools, clinics, inpatient psychiatric facilities, outpatient private practice) in a variety of roles (clinician, diagnostician, supervisor, professor) bolstered by an appreciation for the beauty of individual differences.

My therapeutic focus includes transitions in late adolescence and adulthood, single incident and relational trauma, navigating divorce and post-divorce relationships, and the anxiety and distress that accompany these experiences. I also help mothers and fathers navigate the difficult job of raising children, from infancy through young adulthood, in all types of family configurations. Together, with compassion, we can understand the origins of your distress, what keeps it present in your life, and what changes need to be made to let it go. Our work together may involve exploring past relationships and events to understand their impact on your present life, examining how behaviors you may have developed to help you cope at one point in your life, may no longer be serving you, and developing new ways of coping.

EMDR is a highly effective treatment for trauma that can also help those feeling stuck after trying talk therapy to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I am also trained as a yoga instructor and divorce mediator, and can draw on those resources when useful to you.

**Not currently accepting new clients** I believe we are all doing the best we can; lifelong relationships, systemic influences, and personal experiences create patterns, beliefs, and vulnerabilities that are ingrained into our senses of "Self" and ways of being. We all have our own narratives - where we come from, how we got here, what we have been through, and whom we have known - and, usually, it is not something that we chose for ourselves. In therapy, with courage, intention, and curiosity, we can better understand these ways of being, weaving them together by choice to create a life worth living and relationships worth having. View 5 Photos Relationships need trust, safety, & collaboration. My goal is for our relationship to become the conduit through which growth may occur. My approach is affirmative, empathic, & non-judgmental, and is both softly direct & laced with humor. My office can be a place to unload, connect, process, or simply be – it would be a gift to inhabit that space with you. As a MFT, I work with individuals, couples, & families in meeting their therapeutic goals. My specialties include: sexual/gender/relational identity navigation; non-monogamous, polyam, interracial, & mixed-orientation relationships; sexual trauma recovery; building intimacy within couples & families; and confronting/dismantling internalized white supremacy.

Just as there’s usually no “quick fix” in therapy, there’s no one path to healing – each person’s story needs to be recognized and honored.

I want to make our time together one where we explore your struggles and celebrate your wins. My eclectic approach includes a mix of person-centered, strengths-based, mindfulness, and trauma-informed methods. I work with adults struggling with a variety of issues, including depression and anxiety, trauma, stress, negative self-talk, perfectionism, life transitions, and stressors facing BIPOC and queer communities. Together we will explore your feelings and thoughts, connect the dots, and challenge those patterns.

The client who understands that making the choice to begin therapy is a courageous and necessary step towards wellness may benefit the most from my services. Your choice demonstrates an interest to learn more about yourself, perhaps in a new light in order to live in a way that is meaningful and more comfortable than now. My areas of interest include: Life Transitions, Personal Growth, Relationship Issues, Self-esteem, Stress Management, Anxiety Disorders/Phobias, Grief/Loss, Depression, Adjustment Disorder, Gay/Lesbian Issues, Terminal/Chronic Illness, and Women's Issues In addition to psychodynamic components essential to therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides an effective framework for people new to therapy. CBT is a model which postulates that our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us which have been shaped by our thoughts,feelings, actions, and experiences influence each other. As areas of insight are developed through individual therapy, new skills are developed and learned to provide short and long term relief. Whatever you may be experiencing at this moment can help to develop self awareness, perceptions and welcomed changes.
