A lil more info about my practice and who I like to work with:

Roots & Keys Therapy is a niche therapy practice specifically tailored for people in transition or at midlife, with a focus on men's wellness (in all its forms).

Why men? Because I know so many men who are just barely hanging on despite having been "successful" by most measures. You've got the job, the wife, the kids...but somehow you still don't feel good. You aren't happy and aren't sure how to get happy.

You may not say you're "depressed" or "lonely," exactly...but you know something is off.  Wouldn't it be nice if you could show up more fully and joyfully to your life? I love this quote by Toni Morrison, from the novel "Beloved" (which is genius if you haven't read it!) 

“Let me tell you something. A man ain’t a goddamn ax. Chopping, hacking, busting every goddamn minute of the day. Things get to him. Things he can’t chop down because they’re inside.”

​

​I can help you chop that shit down. Come have a seat in my office. 

But it's not just about the men: if you are any adult human in the WTF era of your life ready to dig in to some of the messy, beautiful parts of yourself, you are in the right place; people of all genders are welcome.

Being one myself, I also love perimenopausal women who are done people-pleasing or shrinking and want to practice taking ownership in a new way over your body, sexuality, energy, + LIFE.

I love working with people in any transition of any kind who need to sort through what's happened and decide what's next. Sometimes you need support working through your feelings about aging, death + dying.

I value being the first person someone comes out to about questioning gender or sexuality; I've handheld many clients and friends through these questions over the years. 

My warm, casual, and informal approach coupled with years of experience, humor, and authenticity creates a safe and judgment-free space for folks to explore their unique life challenges and mental health concerns.

​

I offer an eclectic, trauma-informed, evidence-informed, intuitive practice, but I don't just use one modality. If you feel strongly that you need a step by step plan or timeline for treatment, I am not a good fit for you. 

Note: I do not do medication management, heavy duty trauma work, or substance use disorder. I am not a good fit for people who are experiencing SI or who are in deep depressive states. I cannot be available 24/7.
