Clients seeking to change need to have a new EXPERIENCE in session; talking is not the same thing as changing. We will use a range of strategies to create a new experience of yourself. I am an EMDR certified therapist and using EMDR, can address long-term difficulties such as relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, low-self-esteem. EMDR is also used with great results for individuals who have had a recent distressing incident such as a car accident, break in, assault, etc. I use a variety of out-of-the-box strategies to create new possibilities in how you experience yourself and others.

You are so over it—the mental anguish, the emotional distress, the sleepless nights, the loneliness. All you want is to be happy, but sometimes it feels like the powers that be are conspiring against you. You’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. You feel sick, tired, and burned out, but deep down you know there has to be another way. You've reached a crossroad that has opened up a willingness to do something different - something you haven't tried before or perhaps something you never really went all in with before now. This is your chance to do something different to enhance the quality of your life and relationships.

Choosing new possibilities is a courageous act. If you’ve found your way here, you may be feeling deep sadness, loneliness, anxiety, a sense of frustration or just simply exhausted. Perhaps you're curious to discover and create a new relationship with yourself, your partner(s), or the work that you do in the world. When it comes to sexuality, love, or our work, many of us are carrying around old stories, misinformation, and the pain of difficult experiences that we want to be free of. If you are wrestling with love/sexuality or feeling drained by work that once felt exciting and no longer does, I can help.

Hi there! I have 11 years of experience working in the fields of complex trauma and addiction, including treatment centers. My interest in this work comes from lived experience, and when sitting with clients I try to be mindful of the power dynamics inherent to psychotherapy by maintaining a sense of equality and cultural humility. I believe that symptoms have meaning, that the psyche leads the way in the therapeutic process, and that we all have innate self-healing capacities. I think we are often beset by inner conflict between different parts of the self, and learning internal communication and compassion is integral to healing.

There is a way out...of the suffering, of the loneliness and agony so hard to express to another person, and of the shame that you "ought" to be able to figure this out on your own. I think we are hard-wired to connect, and that lack of intimate connection is so much more complicated than meets the eye. In some ways, the higher the intelligence, the more difficult it can be to work oneself out of emotional knots. Just feeling like a trusting person actually "gets it" is half the battle. And believe it or not, corny as it sounds, the awful suffering one feels can be a bridge to a greater connection to humanity.

Psychological assessment and individual psychotherapy are helpful when people might be looking for self-understanding. These services help foster better self-awareness, strengths identification, or new coping skills to build resilience. My work in psychological assessment centers a collaborative style through which I intend for people being tested to better understand themselves, their learning styles, and/or their ways of experiencing the world. Therapy is a space where I aim to work with clients to reach their goals by understanding clients' contexts, identities, strengths, and goals.

There is great value in asking for help. It tells me you have the desire to live a more authentic life, to develop the skills to manage its ups and downs more effectively, and to deepen connection- within the self and with the world around you. If you find yourself feeling defeated, or caught in a cycle that is not serving you, I invite you to engage in this process with me. Together, we will work to untangle what has gotten in the way of living your best life so that you can begin to do so.

I often work with clients who struggle with never feeling good enough. This would surprise people around you as there's a good chance you've found success in life. You excelled academically, have advanced your career, and appear confident to others, but internally you feel different. The drive to perform has been an attempt to finally feel like you are enough. I can help you begin to look at how these patterns were at one time protective, but may no longer fit in your life. We will work together to heal the underlying wounds these patterns are protecting.

Do the strategies that once helped you navigate challenges or survive traumatic experiences now generate more psychological pain than they alleviate? Perhaps the pandemic took its toll on you. Whatever is prompting your search, finding a good therapist is hard. I believe therapy helps us develop a more resilient and flexible way to be with ourselves, the people we care about, and what we pursue in our lives. I work with individuals, couples, and families to address a wide variety of challenges. I also facilitate group therapy. Please see the description of my groups below.
