About My Clients

If you're looking to develop a better understanding of why you do what you do, want to have better sex, more productive arguments with your partner, be less annoyed with the world, or stop being pissed off with your parents - navigating interpersonal relationship challenges is my game.

My Background and Approach

My clinical modality is fairly straightforward. I talk to people like they are people. I listen and ask questions. I will work to help you explore challenging patterns, unmet needs, and relationships to better identify ways to create new, healthier behaviors. Over the past 12 years, I have worked in nonprofit, education, protective services, and mental health.  I have particular experience with navigating chronic illnesses, disabilities and sexuality.  I have had Type 1 Diabetes for over 30 years. I also use American Sign Language and welcome clients who are part of the Deaf community.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My belief system is really unsophisticated..... In the LEAST corny way possible, I think that happy people make for better people. I also know that so much of what happens in life is beyond our control. Finding a way to accept, forgive, take action, let go, and thrive is the only way through this thing. If we work together, we will definitely laugh through the tough moments. I have three cats that love to be on camera, and a weird blended family. If you have pets, I need to meet them! I have a dark and twisty sense of humor. I often make reference to things in film, literature or pop culture that I think would resonate.
