Wherever you are in life, perhaps encountering a significant change or transition, managing a longstanding or recurring mental health condition, or hoping to shine your own light a little brighter, it would be my pleasure to walk with you on this part of your journey. As a Gestalt-trained counselor, I support the individuals I work with to become aware of what they are doing, how they are doing it, and how to make space for change. This collaborative, holistic approach emphasizes self-acceptance and promotes awareness of the ways that unexamined thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can impede growth.
I have been a part of the behavioral health field in many different capacities for over 25 years. Much of my work is with trauma (including dissociative identityDID), mood issues, anxiety, grief, and gender exploration. Equity is important to me, and I strive to stay aware of the inherent power and privilege in my role, as well as in many aspects of my identity.
Effective therapy accepts and invites all aspects of your identity into the room. I consider myself an ally and accomplice to the LGBTQ+ community, and I am sex-positive and kink-affirming. I value and respect your lived experience. Feel free to reach out if you believe we would be a good fit.
