Many people come to therapy at a turning point: a job that no longer fits, a relationship that is changing, an identity they are ready to claim more fully, or stress that has quietly taken over. I bring more than 30 years of work in counseling, education, coaching, and leadership development to those moments. What sets my practice apart is the balance of depth and direction. We will take time to understand what is happening and why, and we will also build practical steps you can use between sessions. And I will check in regularly about whether therapy is helping, because you deserve to know it is working, and to say so if it isn't.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: My approach is integrative. I draw on several evidence-based traditions and fit them to you, rather than fitting you to a single method.
The foundation is person-centered and humanistic. I listen closely, offer genuine empathy without judgment, and treat you as the expert on your own life. Research consistently finds that this working relationship is one of the strongest predictors of whether therapy helps.
On that foundation, I add structure where it is useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us identify thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or anger, and test new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you make room for difficult feelings and act on your values even while those feelings are present. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy keeps us oriented to what you want and what is already working.
Positive psychology rounds out the picture. Feeling better means more than having fewer symptoms, so we also pay attention to your strengths, relationships, meaning, and sense of purpose: the things that help people do well, not just get by. This is not forced positivity. Hard feelings belong in the room too.
In practice, a single session might move from listening and reflection to a concrete skill or a values exercise, depending on what you need that day. We check in regularly on how therapy is going, and I adjust when something isn't working.

Most of the people I work with are in the middle of something. It might be a career change or job loss; a relationship that is just starting, in turmoil, or ending; a move; a shift in how they understand their identity; or stress that has started to affect their sleep, mood, and relationships. Others are living with anxiety, depression, anger, or low self-worth that has been with them for years. I also work with professionals and leaders who look fine from the outside but are carrying more than they let on.
My approach is integrative. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and the humanistic and person-centered traditions, and I choose among them based on what fits you. Research consistently finds that the relationship between client and therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether therapy helps, so I put real care into building it. I'm warm and direct. I will support you, and when it is useful, I will gently challenge you too.
Our first session is a full assessment. We'll talk about what brought you in, what you have already tried, and what you would like to be different. From there, we set goals together and revisit them regularly. If something isn't working, I want to know, and I will adjust.
I provide affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients, including transgender, non-binary, and gender-fluid people. I have supported LGBTQ+ communities since the 1990s, from advising campus LGBT student groups to leading ally training. That history shapes how I listen, and it works alongside my clinical training, not in place of it.
Because my background includes many years in education and leadership development, I'm comfortable with questions about work: career decisions, workplace conflict, burnout, and the pressure of leading others. In therapy, the focus stays on your well-being, not your performance.
All sessions take place by secure video. I accept insurance through Headway Therapy and also offer private pay. Weekday daytime appointments are available. If you're unsure whether we're a good fit, reach out, and we can talk it through.
