Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? Are you an LGBTQ youth or teen struggling with surviving in an unkind world? Are you an adult child faced with the changes or declining health of an elderly parent? Or simply a person trying to create a life of meaning and purpose? Congratulations on taking this important step to care for yourself. I believe that your current pain—anxiety, overwhelm, confusion, or grief—is a messenger, inviting you to find your way back to that healing Self that lives inside you, and I will provide you with a safe and compassionate space for this exploration. Beyond conversation therapy, I use dream study, journaling, body awareness, mindfulness, art, and movement to help you experience your own wholeness. I am committed that our work together will lead you to increased happiness, confidence, and a renewed passion for life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My years of work as a Hospice social worker as well as my own sudden widowhood have given me a depth of experience in how to deal with grief, loss, and end of life issues. As an LGBTQ-identified person and the parent of a transgender child, I bring a passion for working with LGBTQ people and their families. I am also a published author and a dancer, and am fascinated with how the creative arts (writing, visual art, and movement) can empower us in life's journey.

My treatment methods

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I am an IFS-informed therapist and use the IFS techniques to help clients heal past trauma and expand their sense of joy, peace, and aliveness.

Gender-affirming therapy

I bring compassion and affirmation to transgender folks going through transition or simply navigating living in the world as a gender nonconforming person.

Grief Therapy

I bring years of experience as a Hospice social worker and my own grief journey in helping people who are experiencing significant grief and loss.

Eclectic

I use an eclectic approach that incorporates dream work, journaling, art and movement, body awareness, mindfulness, and traditional talk therapy grounded in CBT principles.
