My approach to therapy is that “no one size fits all,” and to meet you where you are at in a non-judgmental space. I work with adults in individual, group, and couples therapy, with people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and other mental health issues detrimental to a fulfilling life. All of my client relationships begin with an opportunity for you to talk and to have someone listen. Whether you are a young professional or recent graduate, or undergoing a transition that finds you stuck at a crossroad, I have the experience to support you as you take the next step. In our sessions, we will explore different chapters in your life, considering how that past has shaped your present, and how to set the stage for a fulfilling future. I take a solutions-oriented approach, incorporating talk therapy with mindfulness, and and as a classically-trained pianist I also employ therapeutic interventions using music. Coming to therapy for the first time may feel intimidating, which is why I strive to create a safe, accepting space where we can work together. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, and welcomes all gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultures. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation or for more information.

I believe that a good therapist doesn't "fix" you, because no one really needs "fixing." My goal is to create a supportive environment to help you express yourself and learn the skills necessary to handle whatever life might throw your way. Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, or are just going through a rough time, there are a variety of strategies we can use to get you back to enjoying life. In my sessions, I like to utilize cognitive behavioral techniques to help you feel more confident in your ability to handle life's stressors. The ultimate goal is for you to feel confident in handling whatever life hands you. I enjoy helping people develop skills to better cope with their life circumstances. I have a passion for working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, survivors of trauma, and young adults trying to find their way. I also pride myself on the work that I've done with the trans community in helping people live their lives authentically. At some point, life is challenging for all of us. Through my work, I have been amazed at the difficult situations that people are able to overcome in order to have happy and healthy lives. To make counseling even more accessible, my sessions are being offered entirely via telehealth so you can conveniently meet with me from the comfort of your own home.

The teenage years can be really tough on teens AND their parents. Changes happen that can throw their emotions on a rollercoaster -- sadness, worry or anger can take over. Friends can push a teen toward dangerous choices. Add on the stress of high school, early romantic relationships, working towards independence, and there are all sorts of places that a teenager can struggle. It takes a special sort of counselor to work with a teen. Someone who is serious and kind when they struggle, but keeps a sense of humor, wonder and joy that can connect with them past those struggles. Teenagers are learning to be adults. That presents a huge opportunity if we embrace it. Teenagers are more open to new ideas than many people realize. With the right guidance, they can enter adulthood with an amazing amount strength and understanding. I love helping teens and seeing that change. Your child and your family are worth it. Call me for a free phone consultation. I will talk with you about your struggle and how I can help. If your teen is struggling, don't wait and see if they find a way out. Let me help guide them.

I believe counseling should be more than just managing symptoms and changing behavior. we each have a story that may be effecting how we are living life today. Additionally, many times in life we experience loss and this goes unprocessed, unheard, and many people become silent sufferers, which can then lead to more significant mental health struggles. By helping individuals and couples mourn their loss, I help individuals not get stuck in their grief and find renewal, balance, hope and healing. I am a licensed professional counselor with 20 years experience working in the mental health field. Having worked in a wide range of settings from psychiatric hospitals, large health care systems and in private practice, I have refined my skills and have chosen to specialize in Grief and Loss, Trauma Healing, EMDR, and Couples therapy. I believe that everyone struggles with something, though not all struggles look the same. I am honored to use my natural skill sets to help individuals find healing in their life and their relationships through looking at the present, past, and future through objective compassionate eyes.

Everyone deserves dignity and respect. My job as a counselor is to listen and provide non-judgmental support for whatever challenges you are facing. I want to work collaboratively with you to set goals and achieve progress toward your well-being. I believe that people have a choice about their behavior, but they are also a product of their environment and experience, influenced by culture and relationships. I work with my clients to raise awareness of their motivations and goals, and to gain control of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I build a therapeutic relationship with clients based on empathy, curiosity, and respect. I celebrate diversity and I advocate for people from all populations, especially those from marginalized and oppressed groups. I am passionate about working with survivors of abuse, children and families, and first responders experiencing secondary trauma. One of my favorite quotes by Maya Angelou summarizes my feelings about counseling: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
