Hello. I am a therapist in private practice with over 20 yrs experience in a variety of settings. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, am licensed as an LMFT, and certified as an alcohol and drug counselor. Essentially, this work is about Resilience and Joy. With those qualities in mind, therapy in my practice usually includes some skill building in the areas of mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), self soothing, and assertive communication. With CBT we gain insight into the nature of mind and emotions, and become more able to manage them rather than being controlled by them.

Navigating today's rapidly and changing complex issues along with our own personal struggles can sometimes feel overwhelming. Having someone who can assist you go deeper into developing an understanding and insight into yourself can quickly help alleviate the anxiety and stress associated those challenges. The past few years has been tough for many of us, and a lot of unexposed and unaddressed issues have come to the surface. Know that you are not alone, and that normalization of those feelings can help you feel better.

The journey to and through parenthood can be a wild ride. So much is changing within you, and maybe life is changing a lot around you, too. It can be hard to build confidence in yourself when you're struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, mom/dad guilt, or picking up the pieces after trauma and loss. There’s so much pressure to be perfect, and to do it all with little to no help. Maybe you compare yourself to others – they got pregnant right away, and I didn’t. They make this look so easy… why am I struggling so much? I just want to feel like myself again. Yep, I see you! It's possible to grow through this, not just go through it.

I often work with individuals whose past experiences are interfering with their ability to engage in the present. This may be a result of trauma, neglect, or abuse, as well as enduring a major loss in life. I treat adults with issues related to trauma, grief, mood disorders, and borderline personality disorder. I utilize an integrated, evidence-based treatment approach including schema therapy, DBT, narrative therapy, and ERP. I listen to what clients see as most important and use this as a starting point. My hope for you is to feel safe and understood but also challenged.

Mental health therapy is a type of healthcare that should be available to everyone. It should also be provided in such a way that you can feel comfortable, safe, and supported, even when being challenged. As a therapist, I offer services to clients from diverse backgrounds and identities. With my own identities as a neurodiverse, genderqueer (he/they), pansexual, Hispanic/white person, I strive to create and maintain an inclusive environment for all my clients. To this end, my approach to therapy is best described as collaborative, creating a therapeutic experience that is relevant to your life and experiences.

When faced with relationships, family, employment, or personal emotional difficulties, it is hard to know who to trust. Family, friends, and co-workers might have well intended advice, but it is not what you really needed to feel better. You need a safe place to heal from past trauma, ongoing mental illness with someone who truly listens and is knowledgeable. The idea of therapy can be scary for some, but with the right provider, you can feel more confident, self-compassionate, and able to cope with those challenges in life.

Life can bring many challenges, struggles, and difficult times. All of us have had seasons when we felt stuck and hopeless and in need of a starting point for healing and recovery. Very often, the past is present in disruptive ways, making it difficult to enjoy the moment or causing damage to our relationships. Sometimes worries can become consuming and we find ourselves simply surviving, instead of thriving. My passion is to walk alongside you, offering evidence-based treatment approaches, as you discover and embrace the life you want to live.
