Do you find it difficult to enjoy life the way you used to? To savor every moment as it occurs? Or do you get caught up in past conversations and regrets, or conversely tomorrow's conversations and plans? Are you your own worst critic? Do you need to enjoy just letting go and savoring every minute?

Feeling anxious? You are not alone. Now more than ever it can be easy to end up feeling overwhelmed, uncertain and depressed. The pressures of relationships, school or work, family, friends all seem to pile up - and then taking care of yourself ends up on the bottom of the priority list. At Movemental Wellbeing, my approach is to help create a calm space where the anxiety and overwhelm don't have such a profound hold on you. One of the best strategies I know to do this is to find opportunities to go outside with clients, to go for a walk, and to feel connected and understood.

Providing psychotherapy is my vocation. I believe in the healing power of safe connections. I will approach you with a compassionate curiosity and that will help you to know yourself more deeply, take risks to grow, and feel more confident in your daily life. I often work with the nervous system to honor how you have survived what life has given you, metabolize trauma, and allow new ways of coping to emerge. My hope is to support you in being more present, joyful and fully alive. I believe in the capacity of the human spirit to survive and thrive through transitions and life’s challenges.

I work with children (ages 10 and up), teens, young adults, and families. I especially enjoy helping teens and young adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed in their day-to-day life despite being hardworking and empathetic. Often, my clients are looking to be heard, validated, and reminded that they are the experts on themselves and their experiences have shaped who they are today. If you’re feeling down, stressed or not quite like yourself, please know that change is possible.

*Please email all new patient inquiries.* Are you going through a time in your life when you emotions feel overwhelming? Are you lacking clarity about your true self? Do you tell yourself that you are doing the best you can, but wonder why you don't feel as good as you'd like to? Do you want to feel more like yourself, feel more connected to others and function better? Often times we have unmet emotional needs we are not even aware of, that pile up and negatively impact many areas of our lives: self-esteem, relationships, communication, academic/work performance, sports performance, parenting, etc.

Engaging in therapy with someone you feel comfortable with is essential for therapeutic progress. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for individuals, couples and families where each person can engage in the therapeutic process. Combined with a customized treatment plan you'll gain an increased feeling of safety, confidence, and connection as you learn the tools you need to improve connection, communication, and heal from trauma.

"Liminality" refers to the middle stage of change, the threshhold between what was, and what is yet to be. It is when, and where, we are forced by circumstance or choice to leave behind what is familiar, and to journey into a place of uncertainty. It is a normal part of being human. I named my practice Liminal Therapy to honor the process of change and human resilience. My clients are adults (18+) and include people with ADHD and related anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, addictions, and issues related to the stressors of life stages and transitions. Diversity and multicultural wisdom traditions are welcome and appreciated.

How does culturally sensitive therapy work?
A culturally sensitive therapist will tailor their approach to therapy based on the individual client’s background. This may include changing their style of interaction (asking open-ended questions vs. being the “expert” voice), their affect (seeming warm or “neutral”), how much personal information they disclose about themselves, and more. It’s also important for a culturally sensitive therapist to acknowledge larger societal forces that may impact their client due to the client’s background.
How effective is culturally sensitive therapy?
Some professionals have expressed concern about highlighting cultural differences in therapy, suggesting that it might promote stereotypes and harm the therapeutic bond; however, many experts agree that cultural sensitivity tends to strengthen the connection between therapist and client and help clients feel heard and understood. A culturally sensitive approach to therapy can be especially helpful for those not in the cultural majority, especially when combined with proven therapies like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
What are the limitations of a culturally sensitive approach to therapy?
While being culturally sensitive is generally a valuable skill to have, a therapist cannot treat every client from a similar background the same way. Each client is an individual with their own values, personal preferences, and life experiences that will need to be explored during therapy. In addition, it’s rare for a therapist and client to have identical backgrounds, so there may be some cross-cultural differences to navigate during therapy, but a culturally sensitive therapist can do so with empathy and respect.
Can culturally sensitive therapy be done online?
Yes, online therapy using a culturally sensitive approach can be beneficial. Therapy can sometimes be difficult to access for clients from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic standing. The array of mental health support available through the internet makes it possible for clients to find a good therapist match regardless of where they live.
