My Story

Currently I am only providing telehealth (virtual) therapy in California, as well as providing services in Minnesota.

​

I specialize in integrative therapy, which is a progressive form of psychotherapy that combines different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of each individual client. This means treatment is customized to meet your needs. We will work together to identify and address the source of your discomfort or distress, then develop strategies to promote change that make a difference — in mood – in relationships – in life.

​

My clinical specialties focus on anxiety disorders, healing after trauma, PTSD, gender and sexual identity (LGBTQIA+ Affirmation therapy), and OCD. However, I have many years of experience working with a variety of mental health issues, emotional and personal challenges, psychiatric disorders, relationship struggles and more. These may include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, life transitions, college stress, coming out, and other interpersonal difficulties. I am SW-friendly and am MAP-informed.

​

My work experience has consisted of working with active duty military, veterans, and individuals from many different cultural backgrounds in inpatient, outpatient, residential, community, and private practice settings.

​

My work within the Queer/LGBTQIA+, kink, poly, and consensual non-monogamy (CNM/ENM) communities, has provided me with in-depth knowledge of the spectrum of modern relationships and sexuality.

​

I believe in the potential for emotional and individual growth, striving to provide a safe and warm environment in which client can explore and thrive.

​

I also offer supervision services to psychological associates and interns.

Tucker and Callie

My partner and I have two Goldendoodles that keep me super entertained and occupy my attention in most of my off (and on) time. Tucker was pretty much raised in the therapy office. He is the gentlest soul and is my reminder to slow down and take things in. Callie, on the other hand, is more sassy than not. She wakes up happy and full of energy, reminding me often that we need to pause and have fun. I also like to cook, though hate following recipes; I love spending time in nature; and I’m a huge fan of DIY projects - which often humbles me when I am halfway through and realize I perhaps should’ve done more research.
