Let me begin by commending you for demonstrating the strength to take the first step of reaching out for support. By having the courage to begin the therapeutic process, you are taking the first step towards overcoming whatever difficulties you are currently facing and creating a more positive future for yourself, your relationship, or your family. Oftentimes the stressors of life can become overwhelming for us to handle on our own and can negatively impact our relationships with others. Fortunately, you are not alone as I am here to listen with empathy and compassion.

In over a decade as a therapist, I have helped clients of all backgrounds cope with trauma and improve their lives. My specialties include depression, anxiety, narcissistic abuse, neurodivergence, parenting concerns, and such women's health issues as infertility, maternal depression, and PCOS. My practice also concentrates on stress management, relationships, and navigating issues related to one's family of origin. Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness lie at the heart of my therapeutic approach. I value being present in the moment with my clients and their emotions, whatever they may be.

You're tired of feeling stuck, hurt, confused, and lost. Life has stalled out because of relationship static, family stress, anxiety, career crisis, addiction, lost hope, or past events that keep you running in circles. Each day feels like you're walking on eggshells. Sometimes you feel so cut off from yourself and those you love that you’re not sure who you are anymore, or if it's possible to figure it out. You wonder if things will ever get better and if living life with peace, joy, and renewed energy can really happen.

As a counselor, I use techniques from evidence-based practices, which means the techniques have been proven by research to be effective. I draw from dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT )motivational interviewing (MI), and parts work. I utilize a person-centered, strengths-based approach, and I prioritize trauma-informed and gender-affirming care. My therapeutic lens relies heavily on attachment theory, as well. I see attachment as playing a major role in how we relate to others.

Confronting & coping with challenges can be extremely difficult in this culture filled with pretension. You ever feel like you aren’t allowed to hurt, experience weakness or failure? Feeling trapped & stagnated by your fear? Worried & stressed out? Your confidence seems non-existent? Maybe, you're feeling defeated & overcome by what seems like unending pain. You’re not alone. I have been there too. One great thing about hurt, weakness & failure is that they are a part of the human experience & they can be limited. Instead of allowing challenges to paralyze your life, what if you could heal, grow & capitalize on them?

If you’re here, you’re likely finding that something has been getting in the way of experiencing the sexual pleasure and/or relationship connection you want. Maybe it’s needing to integrate a new understanding of your sexual or gender orientation. Perhaps you’re not sure exactly what brings you pleasure or how to ask for what you want. Shame or past trauma has been preventing you from finding freedom. All of these dynamics can leave you feeling lonely and disconnected from yourself and your partner.

We are all not OK all of the time. We struggle. We all struggle, whether with mental illness or adjusting to the concerns of everyday life. Could you benefit from having someone help you sort out those issues? I approach counseling from a Person Centered perspective which means my foundation is in being genuine, regarding each client as valuable and trying to understand their view. With couples I take this foundation and focus on attachment, or our need for emotional bonding.
