To others, you seem to have it all together, but the pain of your past and future colliding keeps you up at night. Past injuries have a continual hold on you and influence your most important relationships. Acting in line with your heart does not seem possible when you're caught in these patterns. You are stuck, but things can change. Loving yourself and appreciating each moment is an attainable goal, and one that I can help you reach. Through our conversations, you will gain a better understanding of yourself and your beginnings and start to feel more peace within your life and relationships.
Joining the workforce is quite the challenge; you might feel like you are constantly facing questions about your role, questions about the future, insecurity, impostor syndrome, existential dread, and more. Individuals in careers like education, finance, health professionals, mental health professionals, and more, can benefit from a space to share their frustrations, fears, and concerns. In this group, we will facilitate a space for you to share these feelings with others experiencing similar situations. The goals of this group are to share feelings and emotions, connect with other new professionals, give and receive support, and improve self-expression and boundaries

I provide a compassionate ear to individuals and couples who feel stuck, and are struggling to find their way forward. Often, my clients have experienced issues related to addiction, intimacy, life transitions, identity and more. By utilizing techniques and concepts from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Therapy, I strive to create a space where you can grow in self-compassion, self-understanding, and familiarity with your emotions. My counseling style mixes empathetic support with thought-provoking questions, in order to not only join with you in your experiences, but help you reach your goals too.
The young adults in my group often seek counseling in order to alleviate symptoms of anxiety or depression, as well as to understand themselves and how they relate to others. In general, group therapy is uniquely beneficial in helping individuals understand their relational patterns and giving them an opportunity to practice new ways of relating. Group can be a safe environment in which to explore one's self and one's reactions to others, as well as receive feedback and support. Group therapy clients gain insight into themselves and experience the healing that comes through connection with others.

I am honored by the opportunity to help individuals find greater peace, strength, and fulfillment. Our lives are so busy, there is very little opportunity to stop and discover where support is needed. Taking this time for oneself, whether to reflect on one's relationships, to work through difficult emotions, or to gain awareness as to one's self-perceptions, can be transformative. Because self-compassion is key to healing, I try to template compassion through my own emotional engagement and respect for the client and his/her experience. Videos I made can be found on my website.
As a stepparent myself, I know firsthand the complexities that arise in this role. I believe strongly in the need for community and support as we navigate difficulties in our life.

Whether you are married, partnered, dating, cohabitating, etc. and find yourself in a type of parenting role with someone else's children, this group is for you. LGBTQ+ and nonbinary inclusive. Some of the themes that will be covered include: Boundary work, communication, and self-compassion. This group's primary focus is on helping you feel support and connection. Group begins January 19th.

Do you feel exhausted, overworked, and under appreciated? Perhaps you believe that if you are just the perfect partner, parent, child, sibling, or employee that you will no longer feel this way. However, the burnout is becoming extreme, and you desperately want to feel differently. Maybe you are an empath who worries that you are “too sensitive”, or have an anxious attachment style and fear being considered “too needy”, or a perfectionist who worries that you will never be worthy of the joy, peace, and love that you see others experiencing. Or perhaps you are a people-pleaser wondering if anyone will every truly know the real you.

Anxiety is meant to keep you safe from possible threats, but, when it gets too active, anxiety can be exhausting. The mind may race with questions and worries that don't have solutions. The body can respond with tension and feel like a current of electricity has been turned on. Your emotions may go from zero to sixty and be more reactive. You may view the world through a lens of danger. It can take a toll on how present you are in your life, your job, and your relationships.
Virtual six week anxiety management skills group focusing on teaching evidence-based skills to help build your "tool belt" to cope with anxiety. Topics covered will include anxiety triggers, cognitive distortions, and mindfulness. We'll use a combination of CBT, DBT, and mindfulness modalities. Group time will be split between psychoeducation and then practicing skills that are taught.

To learn and grow, children require a tapestry of love, safety, and challenge. When the challenges youth face exceed the amount of resources available, therapy can be helpful. Private, goal oriented, engaging and fun activities can motivate youth to participate in a process they might otherwise avoid. In my practice, I help children address anger, depression, trauma, school related difficulties, divorce, and adjustment issues. With over 20 years of clinical expertise, I understand that children's therapy is most effective when the process is safe and interesting. In my practice I help youth and families embrace needed change by using their strengths to solve problems.

Did you think you had this handled but it keeps coming up? Learning new coping strategies to change your behavior is often temporary but there is a better solution - change your brain. Recent research shows that the brain is flexible, it changed as you adapted to traumatic events and it can change again to recover original potentials. You can change your history.

Hi and welcome! It's a brave and vulnerable step to consider therapy, so I acknowledge the strength it took you to take this first step to find help. You may be feeling low, burnt out, anxious, traumatized, and in need of a break. While there are no quick fixes in therapy, I have helped many clients build resilience, find peace, and gain strength. Prior to my role as therapist, I worked at an inpatient psychiatric facility and in a DBT IOP, but therapy is my favorite. I value it in my own life, and I put a lot into the work I do with clients.
This group offers an intensive approach to teaching Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills- these skills focus on Mindfulness, Relationship Effectiveness, Regulating Emotions & Distress Tolerance. As teens learn these skills they are able to navigate life in a more wise, healthy and effective way! An IOP is great for those who might be struggling to make progress in individual therapy or are needing step-down care. Call us today if you think your teen could benefit from these skills!
