Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I welcome clients every time they come into the therapy space. Telling them we have 45 to 50 minutes to discuss what is important today and how we can create and achieve goals for managing whatever issues are important to them. My sessions involve a lot of dialog, and I do use humor as appropriate, and I am careful to create a cool down period a few minutes before the end of session. Gathering the threads together so the client leaves feeling seen and heard, ideally with a new skill to try in the days between sessions. Sharing meditation videos and sometimes books and articles is part of my toolkit as well.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I really care about my clients, while maintaining and explaining healthy boundaries. I have many years of experience in various institutional, community and university settings and all of that has meant I can relate to clients with a variety of life experiences.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I believe I am best paired with folks who want to feel less anxious, more effective, less depressed and who seek joy. Folks who want to be truly seen and heard by those around them. I work well with adults who are grieving either someone who has died or is very ill or for other losses in life that are heart breaking. My passion, as a straight ally, is working with LGBTQ+ people who are navigating an increasingly hostile environment and need support and understanding.
