I’m a clinical counselor and somatic experiencing practitioner, specializing in Polyvagal coaching. I focus on recent advancements in mind-body connection that allow us to change our sensory reaction to stress in order to maximize the way we perform in our various fields, with a soft specialty in athletic performance. My focus on somatic experiencing through a polyvagal lens suggests a holistic understanding of how trauma manifests in the body and how it can be healed.

Hi, I'm a culturally responsive therapist who aims to be compassionate and open-hearted. Some problems I help with are: feeling blue, imposter syndrome, stress, anger, boundaries, parenting, creative blocks, break ups, anxiety and grief.

I begin the collaboration with each person seeking my professional counsel by asking, "What is it you're not getting in your life that causes you pain?" Together, we explore the resources that will allow them to heal, change and grow. During the 30 years I have practiced psychotherapy, from a systemic or holistic perspective, I have assisted individuals, parents, couples, adolescents and caregivers to see and experience their lives differently.

I work together with my clients to create a space of warmth and safety, so you feel free to fully express all aspects of yourself as we journey together toward whole person transformation. Fully present and with compassion, I hold the space for you to do your work. I trust that deep within you, there is a pull toward wholeness and that you do know what you need to find that completeness. Our work together will be truly empowering and healing.

I believe we all have an innate orientation toward health, growth, and the expression of our full potential. We may experience, however, blocks in the form of thinking, feeling, and/or bodily symptoms that cause significant distress, interfering with our ability to function optimally and to access our resources and our more complete selves. This may manifest itself in the form of overwhelming feelings such as depression, anxiety, and/or rage; disordered eating and body image; flashbacks and/or other symptoms of unprocessed traumatic experiences; or other signs that we have lost touch with the fullness of who we are.

Are you living the life you want for yourself? I recognize your worth and the strengths within you. Allow me to help you improve your sense of well being in the shortest time possible. We will partner together as I assist you in getting unstuck from painful self-limiting behaviors, feelings and thoughts with compassion, honesty and insight. You will free yourself from patterns in your past and dismantle beliefs at the core of your difficulties. I combine traditional and alternative techniques with a mind-body-spirit perspective for healing that creates greater emotional balance, self acceptance and fulfillment.

I am not passively silent- I will endow you with self-empowering techniques, while also coaxing forth your best inner resources. I am LGBTQ affirming.

A profound near-death experience sparked my search for meaning and purpose in life, and has inspired me to guide others on their own journey toward healing and transformation. I specialize in working with the highly-sensitive person–those who feel everything strongly, but may be unsure of how to manage those emotions. Anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and relationship issues are just some of what we can experience when we are out of alignment with our True Self. We may turn to all sorts of distractions, unhealthy relationships or addictions, to cope with what is fundamentally a feeling of discomfort within our own skin.

I am a bi-lingual, Spanish speaking, bi-cultural psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of depression and anxiety issues, including general worry and career anxiety.

Together, we find practical and creative solutions to the problems that bring you to treatment. Recognizing the inseparable connection between the mind and body, I regularly incorporate mindfulness practice into our work.

I am a queer identifying therapist and I like to think of therapy as a big exploration that allows the feelings and emotions you are having to come in fully without judgement. And you gotta feel it to heal it. We get curious together about what is happening for you and explore. Once you become aware of unconscious patterns, you make them conscious. That awareness can help to create change and make a huge difference in your life. I am also a big proponent of self-compassion work and can't stress enough how important it is to give ourselves just as much kindness as we give our loved ones.

I believe everyone has the ability to make positive changes in their lives with encouragement, positive regard and by building effective lines of communication. My specialty areas include Self esteem in adolescents, Anxiety, Depression, Mood disorders, stress and life changes, family conflict and relationship conflict. I believe in person center therapeutic approach, helping the client feel safe while giving them the tools to work towards overcoming their challenges in life.

I am a psychotherapist/researcher/ neuroscientist who studies how emotions influence our physical and emotional wellbeing. My book" Why Good Sex Matters" (Houghton, Mifflin, Harcourt, 1/2020) explores how imbalances in the wiring of the core emotional systems can disrupt our capacity for pleasure and joy--(contributing to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and general stress)--and outlines tool to rebalance the body/mind. My clients are seeking insights, tools, and skills to empower their capacity to have deeply joyful and satisfying lives. I work with them to co-create a multifaceted approach to fit their unique needs.

You're at your wits end. Things are not okay...and haven't been in a long time. It might be your marriage, your child or a personal struggle that torments you each day. It feels like you tried lots of things already, but nothing's worked Calling a therapist is not easy but you realize you can't really do this alone. You are not sure what changes you'll have to make, or if you're really ready to make them. You want a therapist who can help you make changes in a way that feels safe. Blinded by our own habitual thinking, it is almost impossible to find a new way of being-without a guide. I work with people to help them gain insight
