I am an experienced change agent with a first hand knowledge of a wide variety of issues, problems and situations. I am excellent in communication, warm, relational, non-judgmental and direct.
I work to hear the issues you are seeking help with. I do not use "psychobabble."
I focus on the "here and now" issues you bring and we will explore what has brought you to this place, what you can do and/or what you can be. When we first meet we will make sure I am the best type of person for your concern. I focus on a person's/couple's strengths, not their weaknesses. I do not hesitate to be direct; however, I am welcoming and sensitive to diversity - particularly in faith and spiritual beliefs; race; sexuality; life history choices and family of origin experiences. I wish to create a safe place for you. I bring a diverse set of skills and experience.
I remember what it was like to first seek help You have to be very brave. I am very proud to work with the people I do. They are all seeking to be stronger and wiser in their living.

I view therapy as an opportunity to develop healthy relationships where you can grow and explore new opportunities without judgement. I offer individual, relationship and family counseling services for adolescents and adults.
My preference is to keep therapy "label-free", so that we can collaborate on making real progress on the issues standing between you and the life you desire. Labels can be limiting and my goal is to expand the possibilities for each person, relationship, and family that desires healthier ways of being.
When we meet, I will take the time to get to know what makes you and your situation unique and together we'll decide what direction therapy will take. My space is informal and friendly (I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of therapist), with a four-legged friend to greet you (learn about Ollie in the About Me section).
It is my honor to work with a diverse clientele (i.e. ethnicity, gender, sexuality, spirituality, LGBTIQ, etc). I have specialized training in gender and sexuality issues via AASECT and am kink-aware/friendly.

I believe that everybody has the right to live a fulfilling life, and that everybody deserves access to quality mental healthcare. My goal is to facilitate growth, healing, and the development and maintenance of authentic and loving relationships.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the primary vehicle for change and growth. I use a client-centered and strength-based approach. I am committed to creating an environment in which you can feel safe, heard, and understood. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and that my role is to hold space for you and facilitate the discovery of your own strengths.
I have experience working with clients who are LGBTQ, poly, kinky, and grappling with issues related to HIV/AIDS. I work with clients experiencing a wide range of mental illness, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. I am particularly passionate about working with trauma, domestic violence, suicidality, gender-related issues and gender dysphoria. Often, marginalized people are bombarded with messages every day that tell them they are not worthy of health and happiness. I am aware of and sensitive to these realities; I do not pathologize diversity. I believe that a healthy self-image, a strong sense of self-worth, a toolbox of healthy coping mechanisms, and authentic relationships are at the root of living a fulfilling life.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” – Carl R. Rogers.
I believe that counseling can benefit everyone, whether you’re struggling with severe mental health issues, suffering due to past or ongoing trauma, fighting to survive due to external factors, or simply want to work towards greater personal growth. I work with individuals ages 18 and up, though I will make an occasional exception for a mature teen if they are having trouble finding an affirming counselor.
I have experience working with depression, anxiety, psychosis, trauma, chronic pain, anger management, low self-esteem, lack of assertiveness, and interpersonal conflicts. I affirm diversity in all forms - race, ethnicity, gender identity/expression, relationship structure, sexual/affectional orientation, cultural background, belief system, ability, etc. I’m passionate about working with people to transform the way they see themselves, and I love working with clients to develop new skills to navigate their minds and the world.
I am an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) under the supervision of Natalie Elliott, LPC, LMFT, CST, CPCS, CST-S. I
