Most people develop some kind of self-loathing and feel disappointed in themselves. Somehow, we are never good enough, we don’t measure up in intelligence, beauty, goodness and accomplishments. If we had traumatic experiences, we learned to shut down in a more complex way and feel disconnected from life. There is an intelligence that helped you to survive and to get to the present moment. However, habits and coping that helped you in the past may no longer work and inhibit you in finding your true potential and joy. Now is the time for you to seek support to take a new look. Finding a skilled therapist may be what you need.

Do you notice your child struggling but aren’t sure how to help? Does seeing your child struggle bring up your own anxieties, frustrations, and fears? In today’s technological, fast-paced world, children and teens face unique challenges, experiencing heightened levels of mental and emotional distress. This can sometimes open old wounds and insecurities for parents, leaving them unsure of how to best support their child. I work with children, teens, young adults, parents, and families grappling with feelings of stuckness, insecurity, anxiety, depression, restlessness, overwhelm, and anger.

People in helping professions are natural givers, but our empathy and compassion can’t keep us from becoming over-extended, unbalanced, and burned out. I help people dealing with these issues understand their challenges and rediscover fulfillment from their work and joy in their lives. My other passions include working with people to navigate a wide variety of transition and/or identity-related areas of life, including: aging, LGBTQIA+, relationships, career, and parenting.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in working with individuals and couples. When I begin therapy with an individual, I take time to listen and learn about the sources of their negative feelings or disappointing patterns. As we build a shared understanding of their pain or frustration, we incorporate cognitive, behavioral, emotion regulation or interpersonal skills. I draw on my training in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and emotionally focused therapy to support and guide my patients as they move toward greater resiliency and more adaptive management of symptoms including depression, anxiety, and compulsivity.

Families come to me because their child or adolescent is struggling, and often times they don’t know where to begin to make things better. I work with children, teens, their parents, and young adults (up to age 25). I initially focus on learning about a person's challenges and strengths. Then, together we develop a plan for gaining mastery over difficulties, achieving goals, and ultimately reaching a child, teen, or early adult's potential. Often challenges feel overwhelming when first seeking help, but most families find initial sessions to clarify goals while also setting the stage for long-sought change.

It can be scary to be honest with oneself, let alone with others. Yet, most of us still desire to be seen, loved, and accepted. I work with people curious about how their childhood, cultural background(s), identities, and trauma influence how they relate to themselves, family, lovers, friends, and authority figures. My work centers on anti-racism and the lived experiences of folks who are Queer, Transgender, Polyamourous, or Kinky. I enjoy working with people outside of these identities as well. Modalities I utilize are Relationship Analysis, EMDR, Parts Work, Psychodynamic Techniques, and Sex Therapy.

Have you ever wondered if other people’s lives were as chaotic as yours? Were other people’s families as stressful as yours? Or, do you ever wonder if you are “just losing your mind?” I understand that life is messy and we, as humans, are messy too. Figuring out how to navigate life is serious business, and social media portrayals of “having the perfect life” do not help us tone down the negative self-talk that tends to jumble our thoughts. Would you like to pause all the static in your mind? Would you like to learn strategies to improve your mood, lessen your stress, and create “a life worth living?”

Taking the first step for therapy should not be minimized. We will work together from start to finish, to uncover the best version of yourself. The foundation of my work is client-centered and trauma-focused, which concentrates on establishing trust and respect in order for change to occur. I have experience working with individuals who have endured trauma and as a result struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, and other mental health concerns. I also have a passion for working with individuals from the LGBTQ community and struggle with the unfortunate anxieties of marginalization.

Stress and challenges are part of living a full life. How you manage these challenges makes the difference between suffering and engagement in solving the problems that lead to depression and anxiety. That means building skills that help you live the kind of life that is meaningful and facing the issues that are leading you away from your best self. My hope is to focus on how to help you help yourself.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative experience in which you take an in-depth look at your life, perspectives and behaviors and explore what may or may not be working with a trained professional. Each individual experiences life in one's own unique way, with one's own set of personal values and goals. Sometimes life circumstances can create a conflict with a person's values. Sometimes people try their best and cannot change the way they feel. "Good people" can experience depression, anxiety, anger, grief, substance abuse, trauma and other circumstances, which, with the assistance of a trained professional, can be resolved.
