I believe in the power of the professional therapeutic relationship to support clients with safety, unconditional positive regard, and autonomy, and I use a collaborative approach to process current stressors, seek clarity, and develop goals for change.
Beginning the search for a therapist can feel daunting. You've taken the first step on a path to growth, healing, and change. Through my experience and training as an educator and as a mental health professional, I have discovered the power of human connection and the transformation we can experience when we are seen, heard, and supported without condition or judgement. I support adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, identity, and environmental stressors, and partnered folks who feel stuck in patterns that no longer work for their relationship.

I assist adults seeking help with mild dysthymia, situational depression or anxiety, stress, relationship problems, career concerns, loss, meaning, mortality and other existential issues. I tailor an approach specific to your need. Existential therapy is my foundation though I use an eclectic approach and draw upon various therapies. Therapy may be brief in duration or lengthy. It is sometimes uncomfortable - the "price" of honest introspection and change. I don't have your "answer" but will help you seek it. I strive - in the words of Irvin Yalom - to help "remove obstacles blocking the patient's path".

Wheeewww...there are a lot of therapists on this website that look like me, but we don't all therapy the same. I'm an open-minded, laid-back therapist ready to support and work with you at your pace. I specialize in adjustment disorder and anxiety. Adjustment disorder is a temporary diagnosis that people experience when dealing with life changes. The change can be with work, school, or a relationship. Anxiety can look like constant worrying, difficulty controlling the worrying, and "doom" thinking, always thinking the worst about every situation. Both can create intense feelings of anger, confusion, fear, and depression.

I believe every person has the right to feel seen, valued, and heard. I provide a safe space for my clients. A space where there is no judgement; where over time, when trust is built within the therapeutic relationship, the client will bring their most authentic self into session. I use an integrative approach, although my roots lay in modern psychoanalysis and in attachment framework. Having healthy relationships, specifically with ourselves is challenging! Relationships are vital to the emotional and mental health of all human beings especially the relationship with the self, as I believe it holds both the wound and the cure.

It is possible to build a better relationship with yourself and others.
You are sick of feeling the guilt, frustration, and a constant need to “fix” yourself. You’re tired of yo-yo dieting and hating yourself. You want the guilt and shame to go away so you can feel normal. You feel like you gain weight just by looking at food. You crave sugar all the time. It seems like others don’t experience this struggle like you do. You don't feel in control of your emotions or your body. Work and home responsibilities make things seem even harder to control. Life feels like a vicious cycle you can’t escape from. This cycle is exhausting and you are ready for a change.

The aim of my work is to help you draft and refine the narrative of your life, identify core values and beliefs, and look for ways to apply those values to strengthen your sense of self. Some of these narratives may include experiences of depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. As a therapist, I employ warmth, humor, and softness to create a space where you can identify and bring down the barriers keeping you from who you want to be. As a social worker, I wish to meet you where you are, then walk alongside you down your preferred path, simply helping with forks in the road.

Reviving the love, joy, and connection in your romantic relationship is possible.
The connection is lost, communication broken, and intimacy scarce. How did we end up here in our relationship? Trying to discuss anything ourselves deteriorates into a bickering episode. Our impatience and frustration don’t allow for listening and compromise. We just don't seem to be on the same page anymore. Trying to fall asleep at night is next to impossible as the hurtful argument from earlier replays over and over. With so many unmet expectations and a lack of fulfillment, we are drifting further apart and feeling more alone. It’s been like this for such a long time, where do we begin to find the love and bond we once had?

Areas of focus have been personal and relational upheaval around betrayal within a relationship.
Many of my clients say that, in one way or another, their life just seems disjointed, frustrating, overwhelming, lonely and confusing. Sometimes that is a description of their inner state of mind, or it could describe how they feel within their most personal relationships. Others report a significant life change that has thrown them off course. It could be a career crossroad, a traumatic event/upbringing, a relational struggle, or a spiritual battle that brings them to seek therapy.

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.
