Clients experiencing the effects of stress, whether relational or associated with jobs or finances, those with mood disorders, acute and chronic illness, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting challenges, relationship challenges including co-dependency, SUDs, clients needing nutritional support, LGBTQ+ support, STE/NDE integration, issues of life stages and aging, grief and loss support and processing, issues of discrimination and oppression, are all welcome in my practice which also includes providing community resources, information, and referrals as needed. If I don’t know, I will make effort to find you someone who does.  

I use modalities tailored to the individual client/family which include psychodynamic therapy, DBT and CBT skills, trauma-focused therapy, SUD-focused counseling, ACT and adjustment therapy, coaching, nutritional & dietary support, bibliotherapy, feminist theory, mindfulness and meditation skills, and others. This means that I may suggest more than one approach or may incorporate more than one modality at a time; this is part of the process we will discover in our work together. I strive to be flexible in scheduling in recognition of the many demands individuals and families face in today’s world.

My most successful clients are those who take an active role in their therapy, recognizing that nothing changes if nothing changes. Change is uncomfortable and most of us resist it in some form. Clients who are ready for change have taken the first and most difficult step; in reaching out, they have already decided they want more from life than they are currently experiencing and they are ready to take action. Each new client presents me with an exciting opportunity to make a difference and I welcome the chance to partner with you in this endeavor.
