Life can be stressful and having a safe, non-judgmental place to explore worries, fears, and relationships is so important. Finding a therapist that is a good fit is important as well. I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients since I began my career as a therapist over 23 years ago. In my private practice I currently see individuals age 18+ and I have a few unique specialties: overwhelmed women, perfectionism, burnout, workplace mental health and super commuters or road wa...

I offer therapy without judgment, I am here to help you challenge the critic in your mind telling you that you're doing everything wrong and that everyone is judging you all the time. I use a mix of cognitive and behavioral approaches to help you learn ways to change how you think about yourself and the world around you. I h...

Do you ever feel like something is off? Maybe a significant event (or something you see as small) has shifted how you engage with your world. It may even go farther back - seeing how others engage the world and seeing something different there. We all take in the world in unique ways, shaped by many different lived experiences and lessons learned. My ideal client is someone who is looking for a space and an invitation to get curious, about their story, or what their bodies might be able to teach...

Change is challenging and we find ways to cope and move through. Exploring sexual identity, and attitudes is assisted by supportive acceptance an...
You are sitting in therapy watching your therapist's lips move while she tells you for the fourth time that her cousin is gay and just got a “very butch” haircut. You can’t help thinking, “She just doesn’t get it.” He misgenders you, or forgets your partner’s pronouns, she pulls out Food and Mood, and he talks about how apple cider vinegar might be the solution to all your problems. She hasn't lived in a fat body. He hasn’t experienced homophobia or heterosexism from the inside. What initial...
