About

For more than twenty-five years, I’ve had the privilege of hearing the deeply personal stories of people seeking change and healing, including many members of the queer/gay community. I recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy and treat that trust with great respect. My approach is compassionate, time-efficient, and goal-oriented. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and ongoing study in counseling psychology, I help clients make meaningful, measurable progress while feeling supported every step of the way. I offer integrative body–mind therapy, including Somatic Experiencing, to support healing from trauma, fear, intimacy challenges, chemsex, addictions, sexual trauma, and mood or sleep concerns. I also work with life transitions, loneliness, and eco-anxiety. I offer affirming care for LGBTQ+ and queer clients, with an emphasis on empowerment and authenticity.
