Therapy is available vía telehealth and in person, although I think that the therapeutic relationship develops best during in-person contact.
During the last 15 years of my professional work, I have developed effective strategies that help families successfully overcome conflicts and improve their relationships. My area of specialty is marriage and family therapy. I also work with adolescents and have a broad knowledge of 504/IEP, which offer accommodations to students who experience difficulty learning in a general education setting. I have worked with school districts to educate school staff about mental health issues in adolescents and assist with implementing interventions to alleviate academic pressures, and help teens navigate their peer relations and mental health.

Leaving a toxic relationship is very, very difficult. Manipulation, gaslighting, coercion, shame, self-doubt and sense of a lost self can keep you trapped in the abuse. In these types of romantic and familial relationships, people are left feeling confused and selfish for having their own needs and convinced that they must make the other person happy at all costs. Even when people want to leave, the trauma bond ignites regions of the brain that cause you to feel out of control and "tied" to the relationship. Disengaging from this type of emotional tyranny is possible but requires a deep internal rewiring and grieving.

The first step on that journey is to form a relationship with a therapist who will help you on the path toward the future you deserve.
The future you deserve. You know it's out there - but how do you get there? If you're searching for a therapist, there's a good chance you're experiencing emotional pain. You may have suffered a loss or experienced trauma. Perhaps you are dealing with a pattern of troubled relationships, or a tendency toward underachievement at work or school. It may be that you're struggling with a difficult life transition, or a history of self-sabotaging behaviors that has kept you from achieving your goals and finding peace.

Effective therapy begins with the client-therapist relationship. In my practice I create a safe space for discussion surrounding life’s inevitable challenges. The foundation of my sessions is empathy, and from an empathic perspective I seek to guide clients toward finding their own inner strength in the face of difficulty, complex emotions, loss, and traumatic situations. I am a highly sensitive therapist and I am skilled in treating highly sensitive people. Using a strengths-based approach, I can help foster understanding and resilience to move through negative experiences and self-defeating patterns into a place of empowerment.

We often hear that healing and growth is not linear. Working on ourselves and our relationships is an ongoing process with its ups and downs. Just when we think we're out of the woods, life reminds us of its unpredictability. If life is consistently inconsistent, how can we best adjust, work towards acceptance, and reduce our suffering? Our willingness to work towards self improvement can shift like the wind and when our motivation and energy dwindles, so does our trust in ourselves and those around us. As fear, anxiety, sadness, and even hopelessness settles in, tackling simple tasks seems unattainable.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
