About My Clients

Any or all of the following apply to you: You're motivated to shift how you manage life, the stresses therein. You want to understand why you feel depressed, anxious or are just struggling with life's challenge. You feel like you need a little extra help, or someone suggested it. You want to improve yourself. You want to work on yourself, because something isn't right. Come on in, my metaphorical door is open.

My Background and Approach

Are you “stuck”—either on something that’s changed in your life, in the world around us, or just in general? Maybe something just feels strange or unsettling. Change is intimidating, even when we take it one step at a time, and often we can’t see the full picture without stepping away from the lens for a wider view. Sometimes, you just need another perspective - one that's neutral and doesn't "take sides." Your situation, just like you, is unique, and I can help you through it. I’m here to honor your struggle and help you build on the skills you have. I can help you respect or heal past decisions and help you to define new ones. I have a background in working with children ages 10+, adolescents and adults in many aspects of mental health: anxiety and depression, ADHD, stress, PTSD, and relationships and communication skills. I'm a LGBTQ+ and relationship minority affirming therapist who also works in those realms and has a welcoming, genuine, engaging, and honest approach.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone is unique and can grow at any point in their life. I can help you make that happen. I’m here to honor your work so far, the speed-bumps and struggles and help you acknowledge the skills you have and build on them. I can help you respect and heal from past decisions and help you to define new, healthier choices. I think we can un-learn less than ideal thought patterns and shift them to become better people. I learned how to do that in my own therapy and, with my own flair, I think you can gain the insight to do so too. I like to write, play video games, exercise and follow MLB, the NHL and women's sports. My sports allegiances are quite varied. I'm here to help. If you'd like that, shoot me a message.
