The client's issues might range from anxiety and depression to challenges with dichotomous thoughts, identity confusion, academic/career exploration and transitions, spirituality conflicts, interpersonal challenges, women's issues, and premarital/marital coaching (including separation and divorce).

Have you reviewed multiple write ups on Psychology Today looking for the right therapist? Do you feel confused because there are so many individuals listed that are willing and ready to help? The right "fit" is so important to me and I hope that you might consider my holistic and uplifting approach to treatment. I am so honored and humbled to help people on their path to healing and I strive to keep therapy relevant and comfortable. Most clients tell me, "You are not like any therapist that I have ever met before!". I always take this as a compliment.

I have been a psychotherapist since 1990 and work with adults, couples, and families. Empathy, warmth, humor, and compassion are personal qualities I bring to our work, in addition to knowledge of theories and strategies. My experience and maturity help my clients deepen their understanding of themselves and their relationships, assist them to make changes, and accept what cannot be changed. I also keep in mind the impact of early family patterns on current struggles and create space for insight and self-reflection. Lifelong learning does not stop, and I bring this commitment to my practice.

Hi, I'm Damaris! My practice focuses on helping you learn how to connect with yourself and your emotions, cultivate self-compassion, and embrace more honesty and acceptance in your life. My areas of focus include working with adults navigating life transitions in their 20s and 30s. I am passionate about the people who experience fatigue from their high, unmet expectations. The people who struggle to disconnect their self-worth from what they do. The people who feel paralyzed by fear of failure or criticism. Perfectionism is a common thread in many of our lives, whether we’ve realized it or not.
