I offer individual therapy for children, teens, and adults. Currently, therapy is conducted online through a platform that protects your privacy. As vaccinations increase and COVID numbers decrease, I’ll resume in-person sessions in my office as well as continue to provide online therapy. 

Typically, I meet with clients for one hour, once per week. Some people prefer to see me every other week. Once we’ve decided to work together, we can determine what fits your schedule and needs best. 

In our work together, I believe YOU are the expert on your experience. You are the one doing the work and living your life! One of my favorite parts of working with people is seeing clients grow into who they want to be. For some, therapy offers a return to their authentic self. For others, it is finally finding their authentic self and living fully in the truth of who they are. 

I often use EMDR therapy with clients. Originally, EMDR was used solely for working with people who had big traumas in their lives. Over the years, the uses for EMDR have grown – I often use it with people who have big traumas, little traumas, negative beliefs about themselves, fears, or worries. While I’m not trained in it, EMDR is even being used to treat migraines and sports performance!

If you’re not familiar with EMDR, this video explains it:

I’m happy to discuss it further with you if we decide to work together.

I understand that EMDR is not for everyone – because of that, I use a variety of techniques in my work with clients. Ultimately, I come from a strength based, trauma-informed perspective.

When I work with children, I usually use play therapy as the basis of our time together. Although, I find EMDR is often as helpful for children as it is for adults and teens. Sometimes, adults participate in therapy with their young children. Oftentimes, children want time alone with me as well as a little time with their adults. Prior to meeting with children, I meet with the caregivers/parent(s) alone so we can discuss what’s going on in the life of the child. I do not provide any assessments for court nor do I give custody suggestions to courts.

In my work with teens, I have found they are most open and engaged when their privacy is fully respected. This means that I will have teens/tweens and their adult meet with me for the first part of our first session to discuss all the legal stuff of therapy. Then, I meet alone with the teen/tween with limited communication to the parent regarding the content of our sessions.

I am willing and able to provide letters for clients who need them for insurance or doctors related to hormone treatments and I will gladly consult with surgeons, if needed, for gender confirmation surgery. If I cannot provide those letters or consults, I’m happy to provide referrals of therapists who can do so for clients.

I provide a safe place where you will receive the support and compassion you deserve… and the opportunity to resolve distressing thoughts, feelings, and memories.

Let’s work together to heal the wounds that are hindering you from being your true self. Call me for a free 20-minute phone consultation.
