You deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported, especially in spaces where that hasn’t always been the case. I work with trans, queer, and non-monogamous clients who are seeking a therapist who not only affirms their identities but shares community and understanding. Whether you're exploring your identity, processing internalized messages, seeking gender-affirming care, or just want someone who gets it, you're in the right place. I also work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, and major life transitions. No matter what brings you to therapy, my approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and curiosity. I believe in meeting you where you’re at and working together to identify your strengths, set meaningful goals, and grow in ways that feel right for you. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and dialectical therapies, I tailor our work to your unique needs, and I’m always continuing to learn and evolve so that I can better support you as your full self.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe and genuine conversation. My role is to listen closely, help you feel understood, and work with you to uncover patterns that may be holding you back. I draw on both psychotherapy and psychiatry, so we can address the whole picture—your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and, when helpful, medication support. I value collaboration and tailor treatment to each person’s unique story and goals. My hope is that our work together not only eases current struggles but also helps you grow in ways that feel meaningful and lasting.
Do you ever feel like there's an instruction book to life that everyone got but you? Does it seem like everyone else "has it all together" and you're just trying to fake your way through life? Not a good feeling, is it? Believe it or not, you're not alone, and you're not as bad as you think. You've learned ways to think and feel about yourself that made sense in the past, but they aren't working so well now. I specialize in helping my clients identify their unhelpful ways of thinking and feeling so they can choose to think and feel differently about themselves and improve their self-esteem. I also help clients to process traumatic experiences, both "big T" traumas (like combat, sexual and physical assaults, and car accidents), and "little T" traumas (like negative interactions that lead to a poor self-image). Contact me today so I can help you to understand why you shouldn't believe everything you think!
Do you often find yourself stuck in a loop of overthinking & self-doubt, unable to get out of bed or tackle everyday tasks? If ADHD, anxiety, & depression have you feeling trapped in guilt & shame, please know there is hope. If you struggle to get to work on time, feel overwhelmed with certain work or home related tasks, & find yourself feeling rejected or even criticized within your own relationship, let me help you to slow down, think, and reconnect with your emotions. Together, we can gently unravel the overwhelm and help you reclaim your life, one small step at a time. With my background in special education and solution-focused therapy, I tailor short, 30-minute sessions that cut through confusion. Using data-driven strategies, we target root ADHD symptoms, calm fight-or-flight responses, and ease procrastination, shame, negative inner voice as well as depression. Together, we’ll create a system that works for you—helping you feel organized, empowered, and aligned with your true potential. It’s time to stop masking and start thriving.
You shouldn't have to tackle life's obstacles on your own. Working together collaboratively, my hope is to help my clients understand how they came to be the way they are and create a clear direction to overcome emotional obstacles and uncover strength and resilience. By exploring the past and also working toward a positive future, my goal is to work with one another to reduce guilt, shame and anxiety to be able to ease through life's transitions, overcome ambivalence, make good decisions, and have fulfilling relationships. I particularly like working with young adults, folks going through transitions, and those who have experienced trauma as a child. I also enjoy working with those who would like to incorporate psychotherapy into one's "self care" routine, as a time to slow down and gain deeper insight into one's own patterns. My training is in a variety of different types of psychotherapeutic interventions. I use an individualized approach, drawing from relational, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, EMDR, mindfulness and attachment based approaches to meet your needs. Together in our initial sessions, we can discuss what modality might work best for you. I believe a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is necessary to achieve optimal results in therapy, so I'd love to speak with you to see if we both think we are a good match. Please feel free to call for a free phone consultation!

I am an internationally-known couples therapist, workshop presenter, and clinical trainer. In 2010, I founded the Tikkun Learning Center, an educational institution through which I train, supervise, and consult therapists in Encounter-centered Couples Therapy (EcCT). EcCT is an extremely effective method with proven success in teaching couples who to re-create the magic of connection. EcCT is an integrative approach inspired by the philosophy of Martin Buber, as well as a variety of relational methodologies including Imago Relationship Therapy, Appreciative Inquiry, Re-evaluation Counseling, and Relational Neuro-biology. I have developed a unique, customized, transformational two-day private session for one couple. You will receive my full attention, expertise and mastery, and I will introduce you to the groundbreaking and pragmatic principle of the three invisible connectors: "the Space, the Bridge, and the Encounter."
Maybe you find yourself caught in cycles of overthinking.

I work with people navigating relationships, life transitions, and the practice of self-compassion—often while managing anxiety, self-doubt, or a desire for something more.

There are times in all of our lives where we find ourselves at a crossroads. Do I continue on the path I am on, or is it time to pause, dig in, and face my fear, addiction, compulsion, hesitancy, anger, patterns, issues, struggles, etc.? This can be a very frightening crossroads, and having the courage to face ourselves, our past and what may be before us can be very fleeting. I meet people at this crossroads, and together we "dig in", and begin to explore what needs exploring, mend what needs mending, fight what needs fighting and forgive what needs forgiving. As they say in AA, I believe we are spiritual beings in physical world and as a Pastoral Counselor I am able and willing to explore how these two realities are integrated in our lives. Please feel free to give me a call with any of your questions or concerns.
Success often comes at a personal cost. As an executive, entrepreneur, or leader, you’ve mastered the art of staying composed and performing under pressure. But behind the scenes, the stress of carrying so much responsibility can take a toll. Whether it’s the lingering effects of childhood struggles, strained personal relationships, or feeling disconnected from the life you’ve worked so hard to build, the cracks in your armor may be showing. If you’re tired of holding it all together while feeling alone, it’s time for a change. I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals resolve the personal and professional challenges that impact their lives. Using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, I guide you in overcoming trauma, breaking unhelpful patterns, and improving relationships. Whether you’re managing anxiety, balancing work and home, or rediscovering yourself, our work is tailored to help you heal. You don’t have to sacrifice your personal peace for professional success. Therapy isn’t just about healing—it’s about building a life where you can thrive, both at work and at home.
