About
What to expect in therapy with me: Does your life feel chaotic and overwhelming? Together we can work to identify ways to reduce these feelings and achieve your goals. If you are a professional or student who is finding yourself overthinking, unorganized, overwhelmed, anxious or lonely we will likely work well together. Together we find ways for you to feel more confident and energized in business, academic and social situations. We identify your goals and make a plan to get there. Tackling these things can be very challenging so I try to make sure we also include some humor and joy as well as the hard work. Clients who most frequently report feeling connected with me are professionals or those in the university environment who are looking for someone to partner with them on their goals. I am very passionate about working with individuals and couples who are in the LGBTQ2IA+ community. What makes me different: I am genuine, direct, honest, and have a wicked sense of humor. I am aware that therapy can often be challenging and difficult so I also try to include some aspects of fun. I am also a passionate learner and consistently work to identify new research that may be helpful for you. Nuts and Bolts: I have received specialized training in working with the LGBTQ2IA+ community, trauma, depression and anxiety. I also work with couples who are struggling to communicate, experiencing intimacy challenges, or trying to find ways to assure their connection remains strong. I also work with poly or kink aligned relationships. I am extensively trained in cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, psychoanalysis (preferred lens is Eriksonian), motivational interviewing and acceptance and commitment therapy. SUPERVISION Clinical work is a passion that I love to share.
