I see individuals, couples, and families and provide counseling for those who want help with sexual concerns, disordered eating, body image recovery, prenatal/postpartum issues, relationship strains, and problematic substance use. I want to understand what it is you hold most dear and find meaningful in your life and relationships. By doing this, I can help you identify and navigate how to align with your values, intentionally, through awareness of unhelpful patterns and incremental change.

I work exclusively with law enforcement, first responders, veterans and their families. My clients come to work on issues like anxiety, trauma, work stress, home stress, and everything in between. My couples clients come to me to heal from betrayal, the impact of trauma on the relationship, or to improve communication and connectedness. If you have tried talk therapy without success, or if you are skeptical about the whole therapy thing, consider giving me a try. I like a challenge.
“What do they think of me? Am I making the right decisions? Am I failing in life?” If these thoughts sound familiar to you, you are in the right place. Many of my clients tell me they are making it through their days, but their worry and stress make it almost impossible to just enjoy the moment and relax. They worry so much that it can keep them up at night and it is making things difficult in their relationships.

I will work to understand your “whys” in life and how your upbringing and family impact who you are today. I work with couples, families, and individuals to address trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, LGBTQIA+ issues, and other life stressors. I have an interest in religious trauma, and I have special training in Brainspotting, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Psychological First Aid. We will use these tools to reframe the past, rewrite your life’s narrative, and help you move forward.

My clients are often successful in their careers, motivated, and empathetic. They often suffer from low self-esteem or perfectionism and are often really hard on themselves and feel like an imposter. They seek validation and help creating goals and techniques to be their best selves. Issues that I often see include relationship issues, depression, generalized and social anxiety. I often serve those who identify as part of the LGBTQ community and engage in non-monogamous relationships.
My clients are motivated for positive change and put the work in to reap the fruits of their labor. My clients want to change their lives for the better - I am here to help guide them along their path. Reaching out to a therapist can be daunting, my hope is to ease that process through a non-judgmental free 20-minute consultation over the phone or zoom. These are free and are in no way binding! I love meeting new people and being invited into their journeys. I look forward to hearing from you
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work best with relationships. I'm most passionate about working with intimate partnerships, no matter their status or structure. I have a special interest in working with non-normative relationships (non-monogamy, polyamory, kink/BDSM). On an individual level, I love working with sex (erotic energy, desire, etc.), sexual orientation, and gender (identity and expression). Pretty much anything that intersects with sexuality is my jam, normative or otherwise.
I aspire to be an inclusive counselor, welcoming to anyone. I aim to work with individuals, couples, or families on a wide range of concerns including relationship issues, family dynamics, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, trauma, and stress management. I am inclusive and welcoming to all genders, races, sexual orientations, all body sizes, religions, and abilities.
Are you a trauma survivor who feels constant stress and like you are a "trauma magnet" or that other people walk on eggshells around you? Are you an adopted person struggling with connecting (even to yourself!), being "the only", with loss, shame, and feel like things are out of your control? Whether you are struggling with unresolved trauma or your adoption experience, I look forward to helping you gain the skills you need to feel relief and move forward in your life they way that you want!

Deciding to seek therapy can stir up all kinds of emotions. Maybe it’s been a long time coming, perhaps the thing you used to do to get by isn’t working anymore, or maybe life recently threw you a difficult curve ball. Either way, it can feel isolating trying to figure it out alone. Friends and family can be helpful, though sometimes you just need a safe space of your own to regroup and a safe person to walk with you while you do the hard work.
We at CPGR enjoy supporting people from all walks of life. Whether you're experiencing burnout, depression, anxiety, relationships issues, professional challenges, or other concerns, our goal is to support you in creating meaning, self-respect, growth, and resilience. We're passionate about helping you manage stress and create a life you want to live.
I empower individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, shame, low self-esteem & communication issues to find deep, wholehearted contentedness and inner-freedom. Using a feminist, anti-racist, trauma-informed, gender & sexuality affirming lens, my goal is to help you grow in love with yourself and your people. You are deserving of your love, and contentment and joy in your relationships is absolutely attainable.
I specialize in helping LGBTQ+ folks become your favorite version of yourself. Are you a queer, trans, or nonbinary person who avoids conflict by appeasing others? Do you overdeliver in your professional and personal life to the point of exhaustion? Do you find yourself prioritizing the people in your life and putting off your own needs? I would love to connect with you. I can help you communicate your needs, set healthy boundaries, and increase self-esteem.

Perhaps with today’s latest challenges you feel out of balance, stuck in some places, and in need of a fresh approach that honors your strengths and personal values. My clients have led remarkable lives, often with a lot of success, but also a lot of stress. The successes may make it difficult to reach out for support. They may have developed substance use issues or other coping skills that are no longer helpful.
Life can be chaotic and make us feel unsure about ourselves and lonely and disconnected in our valued relationships. I specialize in working with people who need space to process life's challenges and who want to improve connection in their most valued relationships.
I enjoy working with teen and adult clients who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, addiction, eating disorders, parenting challenges, conflict resolution, boundaries and self-esteem issues. I believe with non-judgmental emphatic listening and the trust within therapeutic relationship, people have the inherent motivation to improve themselves and change their unhealthy behaviors, thoughts.
