My education and life experiences have prepared me to be a dynamic, adaptive, and compassionate therapist. I help clients navigate a variety of life issues and create/maintain balance in their lives. I allow what comes up in the room to guide how we will work together--which might mean we look at and process the past, or stay in the here-and-now, or a combination of both. I offer a non-judgmental perspective, always maintaining an openness and curiosity my clients grow from and appreciate. Among the populations I serve are artists, writers, and those who wish to claim those identifiers; single people; couples and alternative couples; queer and/or gender non-conforming people; heterosexual and LGBTQI people.

No life is without some measure of pain and struggle, be it situational, or interpersonal. I am dedicated to helping my clients navigate their trials with as little suffering and as much learning and growth as possible, hopefully, with their senses of humor intact. I believe that false beliefs and ingrained ways of thinking formulated during early attachment often cause unseen damage to individual health & happiness and romantic & familial relationships. I create a relaxed, authentic environment for clients and promote healing & change based on the principal that self-compassion is the seat of all growth, and all joy. I work with clients to develop insight, treat anxiety & depression, navigate traumatic experiences, and address relationship problems. I work with couples, adolescents & adults on a wide range of issues using supportive, holistic & directive methods. I have experience working with LGBTQIA individuals & couples and also specialize in polyamorous & non-traditonal relationships. My practice frequently incorporates yoga and pranic breathing techniques. I believe strongly in a mind/body/spirit connection and use Jungian Sandtray as a therapeutic technique for adult and adolescent clients.

I am helpful to men and women from diverse cultural backgrounds and lifestyles who seek happier and meaningful lives. Most of my clients desire deep change instead of quick fixes or advice therefore I really take time to know and help people commit to and believe in themselves and do the deep work to address the essential conditions of being human--thinking loving working making life meaningful in a challenging society. These are the human projects we all face. In every problem there are solutions and wisdom to discover. I provide a temporary and safe therapeutic relationship for discovery and practice. My clinical experience began twenty-two years ago in hospitals settings for severely mentally ill adults and neglected adolescents. Currently in my private practice I see adults and use a mindfulness-based and cognitive psychotherapy (including DBT) sometimes with a philosophic orientation based in dharma or Buddhist-influenced thinking and insights. The psychotherapy I offer is unique and effective because the ""talk therapy"" is anchored in attention to breath cultivation of your imagination aspects of the client-therapist professional relationship that safely teach us about you and we welcome your intuition and wisdom along with the medical-clinical aspects of psychotherapy.

Now accepting new Skype and phone clients! Being an out queer&trans politicized healer means that I adamantly believe that pathology and healing are completely contradictory. Finding a new therapist who is the right fit can be tricky. Finding a new therapist who you don't have to educate on your identity, your relationship, your life experience or the various institutions that impact your life can be near impossible. You live amidst family and community practices, public and private institutions and broader social norms that support and perpetuate violence and domination. Isn't it critical to have a healer who has a deep analysis of the ways those practices, institutions and norms operate and what it takes to heal within them? As a somatic healer, I use the body because I think it can make us infinitely more successful at changing engrained patterns. Often times as brilliant smart humans, we can describe our own life histories and stumbling blocks to precise detail. Sometimes we can even describe the things we want to be doing instead. However changing patterns and creating new practices seems completely out of reach. For people who survived trauma and oppression, centering our work in the body will also give you information about how to live in the present moment. You will build capacity to recover from hardwired survival strategies like fight, flight, freeze that often put the needs for safety and survival at odds with the needs for connection. You will never be able to think your way out of trauma but the body gives us other strategies to build tools to access safety and connection. Sustainable relevant healing becomes possible and attainable.
