I think you are amazing for taking the next step to create the life you want. If you have been having a challenging time with a new situation or want to change something that you have been experiencing for a while now, counseling can help. The need to work on accepting and affirming ourselves for who we are, managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and traumatic experiences, family & relationship difficulties, improving our self-esteem, navigating today's stressful world, and managing work/career issues are part of many people's experience at one time or another. I believe we all have the ability to improve our health and lives.

I help Women who are struggling with Anxiety and Maternal Mental Health issues overcome these obstacles. Anxiety, anger, unexpected fertility issues, pregnancy complications and post partum struggles make the journey of Motherhood even more difficult. Stressful days and sleepless nights give way to feelings of Depression, Anxiety and frustration. For many women, this is the unwanted reality they are faced with.

Therapy can be scary and I understand how overwhelming it may feel to begin the treatment process. Therefore, it is my goal to create a safe, comfortable and judgement free environment for each of my clients. Together, it is my hope to build a trusting, therapeutic relationship to support each client's healing and growth. I believe that it is my role as a therapist to allow each client to be heard and to guide them through the change process in a way that makes sense for them. I use a person-centered approach to therapy and a combination of mindfulness, cognitive behaviorial therapy (CBT), and problem solving treatment.

Deciding on a therapist for your teen can feel like an extremely complicated process but finding the right therapist for your family is extremely important. We rarely find ourselves seeking therapy when everything is comfortable and going well, instead, we may be feeling helpless, unlovable, angry, isolated, and stuck in situations without solutions, only reinforcing how inadequate we feel. Your teen may feel confused, fearful, angry, or depressed. You may be concerned about their mood or behaviors. You want to help and that's why you're reaching out. You just want them to feel better and for them to get the support they need.

HIPAA compliant video sessions available. The problem with daily life is that it is so daily. Sometimes life feels like a grind. Sometimes we lack direction. Sometimes life is just plain painful. You may be experiencing depression, relationship struggles, divorce, separation, infidelity, anger, anxiety, grief and loss, or addiction. Wherever you are, that is the starting line for the rest of your life. That does not mean the rest of your life has to be more of the same. How about a new direction...a new perspective? I may be able to help. The first step is yours. I look forward to your call.

I have treated Anxiety and Panic for over 18 years. I know having panic attacks feels terrible. I can help you. Foremost, I want you to feel listened to and that you can open up. I don't want to make assumptions and so I ask a lot of questions and validate your experience. I also know that sharing vulnerable thoughts and feelings makes us worry that we will be judged or told how to solve a problem. In therapy with me, I am certain you have a lot of tools and strengths. My goal is to access those by looking at what is going on, finding the words to express your experiences, and from there, your own solutions will come forward.

Relationships can be one of the biggest blessings and also one of the biggest stresses in your life. It's amazing how quickly life can get in the way of our relationships and cause chaos in our lives. We have obligations, responsibilities and demands that we have to keep up with, while putting in work to create a successful relationship. It can be exhausting at times and things can fall apart quickly. Therapy can be helpful for not just the couple or family, but the individual. This profile is for a group practice.

My approach to therapy is informed by the idea that people may have become disconnected with their true selves due to their lived experiences and traumas. I am passionate about helping people explore how these distortions have occurred, and reconnect with their inner wisdom or true self. The work I do allows individuals to help clear these harmful beliefs and supports a return to a fulfilling, kind, and gentler life. I am trained in both EMDR and DBT therapies. I specialize in supporting individuals through trauma, crisis, queer/gender/sexuality challenges, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges.

I am warm, relatable, active, and flexible, balancing exploratory work with directness. I have over 15 years of experience with a diverse body of clients. I divide my time between clinical work, teaching, and research.

Many of us have been led to believe that coping is the best we can do. But sometimes our symptoms are really just messages that we aren't quite getting. Skill development is always important but real freedom and wholeness often requires an even deeper process of healing and integration. My favorite clients are committed to getting to the root of things and growing through whatever roadblocks are keeping them from their best lives. Even people who are already on a growth path sometimes find themselves running into the same issues over and over again and decide it's time for a deeper look.

Everyone deserves time and space to explore and better understand their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors, and to experience inner peace and joy. It is an honor to share space with someone interested in growth and healing. Once we can better understand our past experiences and how they affect us in the present, we have more choices and can make adjustments in our life as we see fit. I believe that you know what is best and have the answers. Through the therapy process, and safely delving into those hurt places, those answers will come to light and help you figure out the best way to care for yourself.

We are experiencing challenging times. Most of us have also experienced past or recent unresolved trauma. It is physically and emotionally tiresome to carry our past with us into the present while trying to make sense of our place in the world. This can lead to uncertainty, isolation, and a longing for meaningful connection. You may notice feeling unmotivated, depressed, anxious, and/or experiencing disturbances in your sleep and other daily routines. It is possible to heal from the past and move forward with greater emotional presence leading to healthy management of daily stressors and fulfillment in relationships and in life.
