I generally work with adults, either as individuals or couples .
I like to do a lot of listening and to provide emotional support prior to making any suggestions. Also, I have found that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a very effective component to counseling because it helps clients to identify habitual coping strategies that he/she has been employing that have helped to reduce stress in the past but now cause all sorts of problems. In addition to providing emotional support, I will help you to be mindful of these tendencies and practice replacing the thoughts (and the behaviors associated with them) with strategies that will help you live a happier,life.

I work with adults to address concerns involving undesirable stress and anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD and low self esteem.
Do you have past experiences that continue to impact your relationships, health, work, and overall sense of well-being? Is low self esteem keeping you from living the life you want to live? Together we will address these concerns and develop skills that will enhance your self esteem - an essential foundation for healthy growth. Bringing into balance past experience with present physical, emotional and spiritual awareness can lead you to a happier, more fulfilling life without the fear, anxiety and stress that can be so limiting.

A social worker for over ten years, I work with adults who feel stuck and crave change. Perhaps you're facing recovery, problematic habits, relationship problems, or challenges with intimacy — or perhaps you feel the symptoms of anxiety and depression more acutely than you once did. Most of my clients feel pragmatic about counseling and are hoping (from the start) that the work might be brief. While I do practice longer-term counseling, I also believe that treatment can be brief. It all depends on one's goals and the nature of their individual dilemma. I offer a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

In 2020, I adapted my practice to see primarily adults via Telehealth.
Struggling to find a therapist who gets it?! I have a passion for working with Creatives, Queers, Misfits, and those deemed “Too Much” or “Overly Sensitive”. Feeling stuck, lost, teary, distant, numb, cranky, sad, or stressed?! Self-discovery and change is possible when one has the opportunity to feel connected with their therapist and both commit to the process. I am committed to a safe space, free of judgement, and familiar with all the ways the experience of difference can take a toll in one’s life. Providing Telehealth state-wide in California and Maine.

I specialize in working with older adolescents, young adults through adult who are struggling with behavioral/emotional/or cognitive symptoms related to anxiety and trauma especially developmental trauma. Developmental trauma unlike an intense event, happens through our developmental growth period it is how we learned to see ourselves, sense our own innate human value and how we interacted with the world. This may show up in your life as perfectionism, difficulty doing boundaries or being assertive, difficulty with self care etc. I utilize experiential neuroscience and trauma interventions to help identify and break through barriers

I especially enjoy work with adults and adolescents around issues including life transitions, identity formation, sexual orientation, pregnancy, fertility, postpartum depression, parenting, problems with work or social relationships, search for connection, loss and bereavement.
Whether you are already on a path to change and transformation or if you're feeling stuck, I hope you'll find a good fit in these pages to begin an important journey. Discomfort or uncertainty brought on by depression, anxiety, grief, early trauma, career shifts or financial stress can throw one off balance and make life feel hard. Setting aside time every week to reflect on your feelings offers a rich opportunity to sort through challenging experiences. I look forward to meeting you and helping you examine aspects of your life that you wish to understand more fully.
