About Me

I have been providing mental health therapy for close to 30 years. I have had the pleasure of working with a diverse clientele in a variety of settings from community mental health, psychiatric hospitals, higher education, and private practice.

Truly eclectic in my approach, I blend psychodynamic theory with CBT, keeping in mind family systems, while always seeing my clients through a humanistic lens, ensuring all clients feel unconditionally accepted. I’m also trained in EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is a great therapeutic modality for working with phobias, PTSD, and negative core beliefs.

A Queer trauma survivor myself, I am passionate about helping my clients heal from their trauma and move from survival mode to thriving with a trauma-informed approach. I want all my clients to feel safe and supported. I’ve also learned to manage depression and anxiety and have many solid strategies for helping clients move through these issues as well.

Understanding that some clients will benefit from therapy alone, others may need medications to reach their therapeutic goals, I will assist you in finding a provider for medication evaluations if you desire.
