Among others, this can include Internal Family Systems and body-based approaches.
I am a psychotherapist who works from a relational psychodynamic perspective; I collaborate with clients to explore and narrate who, how, and why you are - aiming for a richer experience of your life. Broadly speaking, my approach is to help you foster a curiosity about and relationship with the various (and often disparate) aspects of your experience. My style is authentic, warm, and accepting, which helps provide a space where you can become comfortable to eventually venture into the deeply uncomfortable to enable growth and change.

Approaches I use include psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems.
Hello and thanks for visiting! I've been a clinical social worker and counselor since 2010 and I provide therapy to individual adults, adolescents, couples (including folks in poly relationships), and family dyads. I work effectively with a broad range of people and concerns - whether you and I are similar in some ways or quite different! In case it helps, I do have particular experience working with queer and trans folks, Asian folks, people of color more broadly, and people dealing with abusive or unjust dynamics at school or work.

I have been licensed since 1991 and taken training programs in cognitive-behavioral techniques, strategic and structural family therapy, couples therapy, Internal Family Systems, Secure Attachment therapeutic approaches, and hypnotherapy (I am member of Asch.
As a former cult member, I help people and their families who have been "unduly influenced." I am committed to helping people reclaim their personal power. I wrote four books including Freedom of Mind, Combating Cult Mind Control, and The Cult of Trump. My online courses include Understanding Cults: A Foundational Course. I help people from all over the world who have found that mental health professionals unless they are specialized in treating cult members, are at best a waste of time and resources, and worse, do further harm. A large part of my practice is short term work with former members.

Are you struggling with anxiety about a stressful world and uncertain future? Is there a voice in your head screaming at you to do it all perfectly, stay four steps ahead, not make any mistakes? Or perhaps you have a persistent feeling of "not good enough" that follows you from work to relationships to family. It’s exhausting when your mind races with thoughts about what you could have done better or how you disappointed someone. Sure it’s good to think ahead and be alert, but not when it stops you from sleeping, prevents you from getting work done, or makes it impossible to enjoy the good times when they happen.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in perinatal mental health and parenting support. Juggling all the needs of self, family, work, & daily life can result in an overwhelming loss of control and losing one’s “self,” which takes a toll on your wellbeing. Whether you’re trying to find your new normal after the newest addition to your family, experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, trying to process a traumatic birth or NICU experience, or struggling to find parenting methods that work for your child/ family, I can help. Raising children takes a village; I can be part of yours.

My therapy approach is strengths-based, incorporating mindfulness and Internal Family Systems.
Currently accepting new clients! (8/14/24) I help women of color and LGBTQ+ clients dealing with depression and anxiety who want to learn to prioritize themselves– without guilt. My clients are caring people, but only thinking about everyone else has left them tired. They're ready to slow down, treat themselves with kindness, and figure out what's important to them. Often, they also want to learn to be vulnerable so they can feel closer to people. When we begin our work together, they know there's something missing in their lives but they're overwhelmed and don't know how to start making changes.

I'm on maternity leave until January 2025. Please reach out for openings at that time. For children, behavior is a way to communicate needs. When complex emotions arise through challenging behaviors, parents may be left feeling unsure how to respond. Does your child seem overly anxious? Are they highly distressed when separated from you? Maybe they've experienced a significant loss or you’d like to prepare them for a family life change. Are you an adoptive or foster family wanting help with bonding and building secure attachment? Do you hope to gain clearer insight into your child’s needs and support them through a stressful time?
