What is Psychotherapy and Counseling? 

I believe that psychotherapy is for everyone. It can be used to assist you in a wide range of situations including

• Learning more about yourself
• Making changes in your life
  
• Improving relationships
• Learning to accept and care for yourself
• Gaining clarity and insight
  
• Learning to tolerate and reduce difficult feelings
  
• Coping more effectively with stress
• Addiction recovery
• Recovery from abuse or trauma
• Clarifying goals and making decisions

Psychotherapy and counseling are different from speaking with a friend or family member because a psychotherapist is trained in assisting others from a neutral, non-judgmental and compassionate place.   

Specialty Areas

LGBTQ Youth & Young Adults:  LGBTQ identified teens & young adults can benefit greatly from a therapist who is trained and experienced working with their specific needs.  I have assisted  LGBTQ youth in crisis for several years and with youth overall for more than 10 years.  

Sibling & Family Member Loss:  Losing a sibling -- whether as a child or adult, is one of the least addressed kinds of grief. Let me help you get started in your journey through grief to a sense of meaning and peace.

Suicide Survivors:  Those who have survived the suicide of a parent, sibling, child, friend or other loved ones carry a unique burden of grief & loss that sometimes combines with painful shame, shock, trauma or confusion.  As a suicide survivor myself, I can guide you through this journey with both knowledge and deep compassion.
