Interested in exploring how to live a more satisfying life? We can work together to open up more freedom and possibility, even when things are difficult.

Life can feel like a dimly lit hallway with only one door at the end. Therapy is about turning on the lights together so that more doors come into view.

Effective psychotherapy contributes to an increased sense of freedom and choice, whether that means taking action, shifting perspective, or both.

It enables us to live life in a more informed and awake way, instead of stumbling through on auto-pilot.

My clinical experience has given me the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients and their concerns in various settings, including a university/community clinic and a major health care provider. In addition to other areas, I have extensive experience and interest in:

• Mood
  including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders
• Trauma
  both developmental traumas and also major events
• Food and Body Concerns
  including eating disorders and gender identity
• Impulsive Behaviors
  self-harm, suicidality, addictions/compulsions
• Relationship Issues
  individual patterns as well as couple and family dynamics, LGBTQ relationships
• Life Transitions
  such as leaving home for college, coming out, getting married or divorced, parenting, and other significant life changes
• Personal Growth
  becoming more aware of, able to grow into, and free to express your true self
