GROUP IS AT CAPACITY. This cohesive process group includes young adults (30s) who are coping with a wide variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, work-stress, relationship issues, and family conflict. Through positive peer support, empathetic feedback, access to diverse perspectives and the normalization of symptoms and experiences, group members feel less alone while working through challenges and concerns. Within this safe and non-judgmental environment, clients gain self-awareness, increase insight, learn to cope in healthier ways and expand their support network.
I specialize in working with young adults/ adults navigating difficult life transitions or experiencing occupational/interpersonal stressors, individuals struggling with shaming critical narratives, feelings of unworthiness or setting healthy boundaries, and those looking to understand and shift detrimental patterns of behavior developed in response to trauma.
Often times the first step to feeling better is simply the act of being heard and feeling truly understood. I have found continual reward in helping people navigate the most challenging and stressful times of their lives. I strongly believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship directly effects an individual’s healing process, thus my primary goal is focused on developing and maintaining a safe, open, empathetic and trusting dynamic with each client I work with. I establish this with honesty and transparency, by remaining authentic to my own natural counseling style and through genuine, meaningful interactions.

For adults who are divorced or separated, I offer co-parenting therapy.
Therapy is the practice of finding opportunities for growth, while identifying the circumstances we can alter and finding peace with those we cannot. I use a systemic approach to help clients integrate their past experiences and relationships with where they are currently, in order to help them move forward with greater intention and well-being. This can be done through verbal expression, creative arts, play, movement, and writing. My approach is compassionate, curious, creative, affirming, and strength-based. I prioritize the therapist-client relationship in order to foster trust and safety, and help support change.

These last few years have been really hard on our Bodies. So many of us feel disconnected from ourselves. Your Body deserves to take up space - the world needs your voice and your story. My goal is that my clients can find a place to rest in our work together and to be authentically themselves. My specializations are in working with teenagers and young adults who may be neurodivergent, exploring gender identity and/or sexual orientation, healing from complex childhood trauma, and/or religious trauma, or looking to heal their relationship with food and their Bodies. I approach therapy from an anti-diet and fat-positive approach.
For women interested in personal growth and looking to learn more about themselves and their relationships with others. A small group of women will explore and challenge themselves to create more successful relationship patterns in a trusting, supportive environment.
Among my interests are emerging adults; life transitions; parenting, divorce and blended families; experience of 1st generation Americans; mood disorders; trauma; and self-injury.
My goal is to help clients feel less alone in their struggles and more understood, as they work on what they wish to change in their lives and relationships. I believe that what has happened in our past shapes who we are today, and I help the people I work with explore the influence of the past in order to create a more fulfilling present. Within the therapeutic relationship, clients can practice and integrate more balanced ways to express themselves and connect with others. I integrate ideas and practices from relational psychodynamic, interpersonal, and modern psychoanalytic orientations.

Our therapists are trained to use the Smart Love approach with individuals of all ages--from very young children to older adults, as well as with parents and couples.
Smart Love Family Services is a team of experienced psychologists, social workers, and professional counselors providing supportive relationship-based psychotherapy. Our approach recognizes that all people are born with an innate potential and desire to be happy, to feel good about themselves, and to experience close, positive loving relationships, but often times learned self-sabotaging patterns can get in the way. We help people create the kind of life that they want for themselves by turning away from self-sabotaging behaviors, and turning towards self-caretaking and constructive coping choices for a more fulfilling life.

We will work together to understand personal and societal factors that contribute to your sense of self.
