Well, one time someone said I had a “non-standard issue personality” so may be that?…but also my view that mental health can be what you make it. I’m not a green juice and yoga kind of therapist. I’m more of a ‘oh, you got out of the house with no yelling at the kids? Awesome!’ kind of therapist. My approach is warm, rooted in reality, direct, with just a dash of humor and I will be your biggest cheerleader.

Hopefully, you! I can work with those wanting to make change with self esteem, communication skills, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, women’s issues, racial trauma, military issues, life transitions, emotional regulation, parental training skills, addictions (for those who are stable for outpatient virtual care), grief, and sleep concerns.

You can choose self pay and I can offer you what is called a “Superbill” that you can provide to your insurance and potentially receive partial reimbursement. Please reach out to me first and we can get you squared away for those in this situation.

EMDR is possible online via a platform you and I connect to on which I can control the bilateral auditory and visual stimulation. It works best from a laptop with corded earphones. Bluetooth does not play well with this platform.

We can set up a free 15 min consultation phone call if you fill out the contact form by clicking “contact” at the top of this page or clicking the button to the left to set up a consultation phone call. We can chit chat and see what the vibe is like, no commitment necessary.

I am a therapist who heavily believes in the power of the therapeutic relationship. This means your trust and belief in me because of my trust and belief in you. I think clients know what is best for themselves, they just need help sorting it out sometimes. I take a warm, direct, but always humorous approach to therapy. We can cry AND laugh about the hard stuff and while still doing the dang thing.
