About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been working in the mental health field since 2003 and I have worked for the past few years as a mental health consultant, in a community clinic and in my current private practice.

I provide individual and couples/relationship therapy for a range of issues, and I especially enjoy working with members of the LGBTQ, Polyamorous, Sex-positive and Kink communities.


I use an integrated and collaborative approach to discover together changes in thoughts and behavior that can improve your life.  I have completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my work with couples and polygroups, to assess and teach methods of managing conflict in relationships, strengthen the friendship between partners and build shared meaning within the relationship. In my work with individuals, I use an eclectic approach grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy to address thoughts and behaviors which are interfering with your life goals, and to build positive ways of managing life's difficulties and stresses.
