I am now providing the full range of counseling and hypnotherapy services to you via an ACA compliant, secure video platform or via your telephone. I continue to bring the broad range of training and experience to my work as a therapist from over the past 30 years. You can now have personal, professional counseling & hypnotherapy services in the comfort and convenience of your own home, office, or even your car.
I have learned that each person has a unique background, unique problems, and unique strengths. I've learned the importance of gaining a thorough understanding of my clients' situation & the issues with which they are struggling, and what their goals are. I work to help each client cope with their life stressors, and to tap into the conscious & unconscious resources that will help them heal & grow, empowering them to make changes that they want for themselves and achieve their goals.
I feel honored to walk beside you on your journey and will help you reach your best self. Life is challenging and having a safe space to process hard emotions and develop a plan going forward is the goal of my practice. I have a special interest in working with adolescent girls, women and men in life transitions-career change, new parents, empty nester stage, divorce etc. Transitions provide an extra level of stress to life and I am here to help you plot out your future plan and to manage emotions around this difficult time.

Welcoming the Smart and Unusual! I provide counseling and coaching services for adults as individuals and in various relationship groupings, including couples, extended and 'chosen' families, and alternative family structures such as polycules. Contact me for a free consult, and let's see if we're a fit.
I approach therapy as easing into interactions in your time, with warmth and understanding. We work together to identify and reach goals. This space is collaborative, non-judgmental, moving at your pace. This involves self-compassion, observation of self-talk, engaging in reframing. Skill building is also identified and practiced, both in session and between sessions. We will discuss what you connect with, may identify patterns and talk about what shifts may look like. Identifying emotions, validating and holding space for them will also be a part of this journey. I draw from modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), as well as skill use from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
I subscribe to the ethical principles of my professional organizations, believe in the importance of condifentiality, and respect the lifestyles each of you has chosen. I believe in the inherent wisdom of clients in the healing process. I believe in the importance of compassion and support.
I am a trauma-informed Social Worker who provides counseling to individuals, couples, families, and polycules. I support my Clients to live on their own terms and have the best life that they can. My goal is to support the dignity, autonomy, and self-expression of everyone and work within a feminist, anti-racist, liberatory framework. I believe in freedom and vitality for all people everyone and have been working towards that world for decades. I believe in supporting my Clients to pursue their own goals in therapy and to live according to their own values.
In our virtual sessions, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights, and work toward your personal goals. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, and I tailor our work together to meet your unique needs.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to help you navigate your journey. Together, we can cultivate resilience and foster a deeper understanding of yourself.
I look forward to supporting you on this path.
I am a psychologist that is passionate about all of us living the full passionate lives we are meant to. Sometimes this involves healing from the past, other times it means working towards visioning and creating the future, oftentimes both. Ready for real change and willing to do the work? (yep it is work but well worth it) Let's go.
