Recognizing the immense potential for combining traditional therapy with holistic approaches, I combine mindfulness and somatic experiencing into my therapy sessions. By creating a safe and nurturing space, I encourage my clients to explore their inner landscape, cultivating a deep sense of self-awareness and self-compassion.

Are you feeling anxious about your friendships, partners, or family relationships? It can be tough to know what to say or how to act. You might worry a lot about each conversation, or feel like you need to make everyone happy. That’s completely normal.

Struggling with addiction and feel rehab isn’t an option? Leaving your family, job, school and responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy and on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard--feelings of fear, failure, guilt, and shame. You may have tried stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. Breaking this cycle alone is tough! Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

Hi there, I’m Nydia! I focus on working with adult women struggling with anxiety and relationship distress. I use a compassionate approach providing a safe space where clients can experience the healing powers of grace, empathy, and validation. I believe all behavior makes sense in the larger context of emotions and attachment needs. My approach uses a combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy and Attachment Theory to understand the unmet needs our emotions try to communicate, identify relational patterns we get stuck in, and then use this information to empower clients to find new ways to get previously unmet need satisfied.

I believe many painful disorders such as depression and anxiety are rooted in unresolved relationship stress and disconnect. While this pain may have originated in a client's early childhood it is most definitely resurfacing in the client's present relationships.
With my expertise, clients will recognize distorted perceptions and unhealthy relationship patterns that are keeping them stuck. They will begin to own their part in the relationship dynamic which can be highly empowering. Also, learning more effective relationship skills with the important people in their lives will enable clients to begin to experience relief from their painful clinical conditions.

Through play and music therapy, we can devise plans, which help one find their calm, and recognize worn patterns, allowing one to initiate positive change. Play and music therapy works whether you are young, transitional age, or a mature adult finding your way through changes in life. Music therapy has positive impacts reconnecting our mind, and emotions to our body through the discovery of underlying patterns and deeper psychology. These patterns sometimes cause negativity or depressive behaviors. Individuals who become aware of these patterns are better able to free their self from well-worn paths no longer serving positive ways.

The complexities of life can be challenging to navigate on your own. To stay or leave the relationship, resign from work or switch majors, work through grief & loss, or how to set boundaries with friends & family, can send our thoughts spinning into a cycle of anxiety. Practicing honesty with yourself may feel daunting & in some cases impossible, as it can call for acknowledging uncomfortable situations or feelings in your life. The fear of speaking up can lead to avoidance behaviors such as substance use issues, withdrawal from friends & family, cessation of things you enjoy, mental fog & depression as well as codependency.
