Hello! My name is Nell and I use a blend of humor, curiosity and collaborative problem-solving in my work with children, adolescents, and adults providing therapy and comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations.

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for my clients to explore their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, all of the above, or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about your identity without judgment or pressure. As a queer person who has sought out therapy myself, I know how challenging it can be to find an affirming therapist. Even if your identity isn’t central to your therapy goals, I will always aim to honor and validate every part of who you are in our work.

I have extensive experience in crisis intervention and helping people to reach a point of stasis after an event that disrupts their life: a relationship break up, a job loss, a traumatic event, or other life transition. As a psychotherapist my clinical focus is on substance use disorders/addictions, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, trauma, anxiety, and depression, utilizing a relational, psychodynamic approach informed by CBT and DBT while utilizing a relational and supportive approach. With 6 years’ experience working in the hospital setting, 3 years on a Substance Use Disorder Unit, 2 years on the Borderline Personality Disorder Unit, and 1 year working on a Young Adult Mood Disorder Unit. I see the therapeutic relationship as a partnership and my practice attitude is collaborative, warm and empathic.

My goal is to empower clients with the tools and confidence to understand their past without judgment, take ownership of their present and take positive steps towards their ideal future.
