I never planned on getting stuck in thoughts about what was, is, or could happen, or in overwhelming feelings. I don't know what you've been through, and my intention is to provide a safe space to address what has happened or is happening and to improve emotional and life outlook. As a trauma informed, harm reduction, resolution oriented, therapist, I collaborate in improving life outlook and flow. How do you want things to be moving forward?

People have worked with me addressing a wide range of life topics including: addiction, anger, anxiety, boundaries, divergency, gender, grief, harm reduction, relationships (with partners, family, friends, work, food, body, substances), sexual identity, sports stress, trauma, troubling or obsessive thoughts, chemical sensitivity, boredom with life.

For those struggling with symptoms of traumatic stress, I'm informed by neuroscience-methodology to address and shift memory emphasis, diminishing symptoms. My approach prioritizes safety and stabilization. We'll notice how symptoms are being experienced, and process memories toward neutrality. When the time feels right to move forward, please reach out.

I offer telehealth to children, families, adolescents, adults and couples addressing a wide range of life topics including:
