I specialize in relationship repair, unpacking big identity questions, career shifts, grief, & facing the existential throes of quarter life & midlife (whoa!).
Are you at a crossroads in your life or relationship? I work with dynamic individuals and couples who feel lost and want to find their way back to clarity, connection, and aliveness. I'm an East-West combo, combining soulful mindfulness & depth work with creative exploration and real world practicality. I support folks with expansive, complex minds and hearts to heal (& grow) from the trauma and drama of this world, and to create a life worth living and loving. My clients are big thinkers & feelers, creatives, healers, queer and neurodivergent folx, first gen, and anyone who doesn't fit the standard narrative of this boxy world.

I have extensive training and experience in helping clients process difficult emotions and attachment issues, including painful childhood memories or grief over loss of a loved one.
I'm deeply empathetic with an ability to be with clients through their most difficult emotions. I believe processing feelings can facilitate rapid growth. However, my approach is eclectic because change can be initiated in different ways. For example, emotional processing can shift feelings as well as thoughts and behaviors. Alternatively, reevaluating dysfunctional thoughts can improve our outlook and actions. Exploring different behaviors can permanently change one's attitude or release repressed feelings. So, I'm a client centered, empathetic therapist, comfortable working on deep feelings as well as assisting clients in finding concrete solutions and effective new behaviors.

I draw on my experience working with diverse populations including new mothers, couples, children, and those suffering from acute grief.
My approach to therapy is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can be seen and heard. My goal is for clients to thrive. I provide support and guidance to individuals and couples dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression and grief as well as the stresses that can arise from relationships, career, parenting, fertility, aging and identity. My work is based on the understanding that therapy can be invaluable in processing life's many transitions. Whether you are in crisis or simply need support and a place to talk, we will work together to realize the positive and lasting changes you seek.

I have experience working with children and adults who are experiencing challenges related to anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, relationship conflict, life transitions, trauma, and family issues.
I believe therapy can be a richly rewarding process. Through therapy you can find a deeper connection with yourself and others, overcome difficulties and move towards growth, healing, and self-compassion. Although therapy can be challenging at times, it can also be playful, utilizing humor and genuine curiosity. I strive to create a non-judgmental and collaborative environment, fostering trust, safety, and connection. My style is warm, engaged, and caring.

I work with adults who experience depression, anxiety disorders (agoraphobia, panic disorder, social anxiety, specific phobias), OCD, relationship challenges or loss, phase-of-life stressors, procrastination, & LGBTQ or Race related trauma.
Compared to many other psychologists, my therapy style may be more goal oriented, assertive, and with a stronger focus on observing and measuring therapeutic progress over longer term emotional processing. My approach is based on my belief that we do have the power to create healthy emotions & dismantle unwanted emotions. When meeting with you, I'll want to understand how your ongoing circumstances, emotions, behaviors, or thoughts impact the short term as well as the overall outcomes in your life. I base my treatment on evidenced-based inventions, eastern & wellness perspectives, and a conscious awareness approach.

My current areas of practice include, but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma, grief, LGBTQIA+, and self-esteem difficulties.
I believe therapy can be incredibly transformative and I am passionate about helping others to live rich and meaningful lives. Depression, fear, anxiety, and self-limiting beliefs can keep us from living the life we desire. If you’re feeling stuck and overwhelmed, or perhaps you’ve been sleepwalking through life, feeling unfulfilled, and wanting more, please reach out. Whatever it is, we will work through it together and create lasting change in your life. My approach to counseling is integrative, collaborative, and relational. My style is warm, but direct and honest (and I often use humor, as I find it to be so healing).

My own experience with loss, anxiety, and panic attacks catalyzed a journey of healing and holistic transformation that previously I didn't know was possible.
I deeply believe in the healing process and an individual's innate capacity for transformation. With over a decade of experience working as a clinical therapist, I believe it's not about working harder but working smarter. Our primary goal is to identify the blocks (namely old patterns/habits, limiting beliefs, patterns of avoidance, etc.) that interfere with your brain and body's natural state of well-being. This can show up as addictions, chronic pain, anxiety, or depression. Whatever you're struggling with right now, your system desires its natural state of equilibrium and will guide us towards healing.

My clinical work spans seventeen years, covering issues including grief and loss, trauma, infertility, creative blocks, divorce, childhood abuse, anxiety and depression, marital conflict and parenting challenges.
Our lives are constructed from many roles and stories. We, as human beings, are the teller of those tales. Is your narrative one, as Plato stated, flowing from "three sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge?" Is it rich in self-care, dignity, and compassion? Or, are the stories and thoughts you carry heartless, punitive, or corrosive?

I am incredibly curious and enjoy working with a diverse group of clients to improve relationship issues; resolve sexual problems; mitigate stressors brought on by life transitions - noting that even positive life transitions create stressful situations; resolve general or acute anxiety and depression; work through grief and loss; ADHD - - and more.
Research indicates that the most important factor in psychotherapy may be the alliance between client and therapist. It makes sense that any individual, couple or family would reflect heavily on this aspect of their search. Initial consultations are about providing a uniquely safe, private space for the client(s) to share thoughts, questions, feelings or concerns. Specialization in ADHD, symptoms related to individuals and couples, as well as its impact on work/life balance, sex/uality, friends & family members, as well as co-occurring disorders.

I hope to provide the meaningful connection, warmth, cultural sensitivity, and support that fosters both healing and growth you are looking for!

Because I've been blessed with life-changing mentors in my life, I can pass the sum of their wisdom on to you, along with my own. Therapy is a healing process that happens through our shared connection and your expanding awareness. It requires a safe place, where truth is expressed and pain is transformed. Typically we meet suffering with distractions, intoxication or denial. When we find a way to experience emotional sobriety, our relationships with ourselves and others can heal. Loss, trauma, emotional intoxication and shame are common issues that breed secondary problems. We’ll approach them with skill, compassion and courage.
