What kind of therapy do you provide?

I use only proven best practices, ethical and effective tools, and research-proven techniques. I am HIPAA-compliant and follow state licensing laws and professional associations' ethical standards.

I have training in the Gottman Method, as well as Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Therapy, and Sex Therapy.

I work with clients to create a custom plan based on their unique personalities, values, needs, and goals. My eclectic approach is empathic and supportive, practical and effective.

Individual Therapy
In-Person and Telehealth

You don't have to continue suffering. There is hope for positive change. I want to create a safe space for you to heal from your past, get practical coping skills, find new ways of thinking and behaving, and have healthier, more satisfying relationships. 

LGBTQIA+
Non-traditional Relationships

I identify as a cisgender heterosexual in a monogamous marriage, but please don't hold that against me. I am an affirming advocate for all folks and types of relationships. I have received training from the Society for Sexual, Affectional, Intersex, and Gender Expansive Identities (SAIGE) and the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH).

Religious Abuse

Spiritual Trauma,  Deconstructing Theology, Religious Recovery, Reconstructing Spirituality

If you have experienced religion or spirituality in a hurtful or abusive way, there is hope for healing and freedom. I was raised as a conservative evangelical and was a Family Pastor in a charismatic movement.  It is my honor to help others find healing and reclaim their unique spirituality
