Great to meet you!

Click on my calendar to book - you'll see my real availability and can choose a time that works. I work with adults navigating stress, anxiety, and depression related to ADHD, autism, LGBTQIA+ issues, cultural diversity, minority stress, and relationships. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years of experience.

My approach to therapy

My approach is practical and collaborative: we'll work out what's useful to you and track how you're doing. I am trained to provide a safe and affirming space for the LGBTQIA+ community. I am Level 2-certified by the Gottman Institute in Gottman Method Couple Therapy. I use interview-style assessment tools to diagnose ADHD and autism and help you explore your story. (Practice limits: Clients with substance abuse, severe, disabling, or life-threatening symptoms, or hospitalizations in the last year should seek in-person services in their local community. Since my focus is on treatment, I am unable to provide outside paperwork, consultations, or testimony.)

What you can expect from me

Therapy time is your time. You can expect to strengthen your capabilities, coping, and relationships. You can learn to prioritize and solve problems. Secure video visits help therapy fit around your work and your life. If you're ready to begin, simply pick a time on my calendar. If you'd rather ask a question first, please email me!
