I work with adults, couples and families in dealing with a variety of issues such as, relationship issues, women's issues, parenting issues, mood disorders and addictions.
I believe there is a natural tendency toward growth, a desire to be more of ourselves and to enjoy the things we do. For many, that curiosity and vitality has been restricted or shut down. This may lead to feeling depressed, like nothing will change for you. Or anxious, it will only get worse. Or perhaps you sense things could be different and are frustrated, not knowing how to access that new way of being. Psychotherapy is a process through which you can understand how these feelings have come about and how to access your natural tendency toward wellness.

I also have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing relationship/family issues, divorce, and LGBTQ challenges.
Are you hindered by anxiety, depression, or trauma, preventing you from expressing your authentic self? Do you find yourself trapped in navigating challenging family and relationship situations? Every minor issue now feels incredibly overwhelming, reopening past wounds and creating new ones. Despite attempting to bury the pain, it persists, leaving you feeling isolated and tormented. The constant exhaustion, stress, and anger make you question your resilience. Unsure of where to seek assistance, you don't have to endure this painful journey by yourself. I aim to assist you in achieving a more integrated and balanced sense of self.

Life doesn't come with instructions, and sometimes going through it on your own can be daunting. I enjoy working with adolescents, teens, and young adults presenting with relationship issues, finding personal authenticity, building self-esteem, and stress management. I find psychology and the human experience endlessly fascinating, and believe therapy can usher in change and transformation. The power of another holding you in highest regard when feeling most vulnerable is healing, and finding a person you trust to be with you in that space is a barrier in itself. My approach is strengths-based, genuine, and nonpathologizing.

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.

I deeply value the importance of our therapeutic relationship and aim to intentionally co-create a space where you feel safe, accepted and understood.
Welcome!

In our work together, my goal is to help you cultivate greater awareness, identify and discard unhelpful patterns and create new avenues of change. Therapy with me is a dynamic, collaborative and slowed down process that acts as a container to safely explore and metabolize pain in a new way. I operate from a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive lens, with an emphasis in upholding anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirming practices.

I focus on the root of discomfort, exploring past wounds and relationship dynamics.
We mask emotional pain with people-pleasing, perfectionism, care-taking, workaholism, and controlling tendencies. Often, this leads to exhaustion and resentment towards ourselves and loved ones. If this sounds like a cycle you’re stuck in, I can help you get out of it. Together, we’ll identify behaviors and patterns which no longer serve you, cultivate a deeper and more compassionate understanding of yourself, and bring a sense of relief into your life. Our sessions will feel collaborative, empowering, challenging and decompressing.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
