About
Making a change takes connection with self and courage. Congratulations on deciding that you want something different. It may be a difference in your relationship(s), in the way that you engage with yourself, and in your behaviors, thoughts, or emotions. As you start your change process, I am excited to work with you as you move forward with what you want. I have committed to keeping up with evidence-based practice and constantly growing in multicultural humility to ensure that you can feel supported and valued and also can achieve the needed growth to be your best self. I like working with clients of various ages on: sexuality and sexual expression for individuals and people in relationships; mental well-being for people of diverse sexual and affectional orientations; well-being for people of various gender identities and gender expressions; career counseling; coping for individuals in stressful careers; grief and loss. I have 24 years experience working with adolescents, adults, relationships, and families. Our work together will affirm all relationship structures and configurations, as well as sexuality that is consensual and pleasure-inclusive. In my work with clients of all ages, I am committed to celebrating my clients' interconnected, multiple identities. Specialties: I appreciate working with adolescents given my previous work in child treatment and school-based settings. I also love working with individuals with diverse sexual identities as they come to know who they are and love others. Credentials & Experience: My work in a variety of settings, including community mental health, hospitals, university counseling centers, and private practice, informs my commitment to provide excellent mental health care. I love to bring this commitment in my work with adults, people in relationships, and adolescents.
"I am an integrative therapist, synthesizing several theories and prioritizing different interventions with different clients to tailor treatment to meet the client's goals. I combine trauma-informed, cognitive-behavioral. and existential theories in our work, weaving in interventions from gestalt and feminist theories when appropriate."
