When you are facing challenges such as physical or mental illness, career or family transitions, or experiences of social injustice or oppression, person-centered counseling can empower you to find your own solutions. I specialize in helping people navigate change, from transitioning successfully to independent living, to developing or reframing a career, to thriving in midlife through menopause and retirement. As a gender nonconforming queer woman, I am particularly interested in working with folks from these communities. I am also a cancer survivor with an interest in helping others manage life with chronic or serious illness.

I help you identify and reflect on personal values as a foundation for exploring identity, meaning, and purpose and fostering personal wellness through self-compassion, integrity, and advocacy for self and others. My approach is eclectic, drawing from narrative, existential, and feminist therapy, as well as CBT, mindfulness, and skills-based modalities.

I view the role of the therapist as a partner or facilitator to help you access your unique self-knowledge and become the author of your own experience. Please reach out for a free consultation if you think we’d be a good fit!l
