I have been working with the LGBT community since 1991, and since 1998 I have devoted my psychotherapy practice to helping lesbian couples transform and heal their relationships. I specialize in enabling couples to better understand one another and to find creative solutions that allow them to grow closer, grow individually, and develop the partnership they have always dreamed of having.

I hold a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology from Antioch University at Santa Barbara and am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California (license number MFC35001). Recently relocated to Minneapolis, I am in the process of obtaining my LPCC in Minnesota.

Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find
all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.
