You’ve grown up wondering if you’re weird, wrong, or at fault. You feel like you don’t align with your family, your assigned gender, or traditional relationships. You wonder if you speak the same language as others in your world. You’ve tried to fit in, get things done, and meet others’ standards, but have always felt like you’re missing the mark. You feel stuck, like everyone else knows something you don’t. Now, you want guidance, support, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your ideal life.

Are you ready to lean in? The counseling office is open M-F 8am-2pm in person at some lovely digs or via telehealth or both! Let’s practice warmth.
I’m a psychotherapist who helps people impacted by traumatic stress. People who need a partner to help calibrate the weight of their worries. Exhausted and overwhelmed we feel so alone … industrialized cultural vacuums increase fear and shame. It can feel like no one could possibly untangle your predicament. We speak up even less or maybe become frantic with demands and urges to soothe. We doubt self even more. We get stuck on “what do I need to do” to make this stop? Counseling can lighten the burden of difficult experiences. Partnering on communication, resourcing, and education can provide some early relief.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the weight of emotional trauma, anxiety, or depression? I provide compassionate, specialized care for individuals navigating emotional trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I understand how these experiences can deeply impact not only your sense of self but also your relationships. I also offer couples therapy for couples and families struggling with communication breakdowns, trust issues, and infidelity.

Are you frustrated that you can't "snap out of it" when you feel depressed, anxious, or making the same mistakes over and over again? Maybe you have felt stuck for a long time, wondering what's wrong with you that you can't find your way out. But all of us of us get lost in our suffering sometimes, because when you're in the middle of it, it's hard to see the way through. I offer the outside perspective and collaboration you need to get unstuck, to help you find your way back to a full and satisfying life.

El objetivo del trabajo colaborativo en terapia puede ser el alcanzar una consciencia y entendimiento profundo de los patrones de comportamientos, sentimientos y creencias negativas que poseemos para transformarlos en soluciones creativas. Tengo más de 25 años de experiencia como terapeuta. Mi formación académica y profesional tanto en Latinoamérica como en los Estados Unidos, me ha expuesto a experiencias y conocimientos que me conducen a creer profundamente en la capacidad del ser humano para desarrollar su poder creativo de transformación, a pesar de los retos de vida.

What do you want to change? At the shorter end of things, it's possible to make positive changes in a handful of sessions. This is often the case for issues related to specific events. For more serious and/or chronic problems, longer-term work is appropriate, especially when a sufficiently safe therapeutic relationship takes more time to build.

In relationship work, I use PACT, to help navigate struggles with communication, sex and intimacy, big life transitions, and infidelity, moving you towards a secure functioning relationship. My goal is to help you become experts in reading each other's road maps. In individual work, I address sexual trauma, low self esteem, self criticism, depression and anxiety. Using mindfulness, we will bring awareness to patterns that prevent you from reaching your goals and creating supportive, meaningful relationships. By making slight shifts in old habits, you will begin to see your inner and outer world unfold.

I work with clients seeking meaningful change. To recover authenticity, connection, and purpose back into life's experience. We work together to manage the impact of past events. More importantly, we find ways to transcend them in the present, building on strengths to find life balance. Since working with my first client, my clinical approach has evolved to focus on the mind-body connection. Today I often work with trauma, addiction, and life transitions. I am in recovery myself and deeply appreciate meaning making with clients. Your recovery should be a highly individualized experience. Please visit my website for details!

You may be struggling to adapt to changes in your life and feeling worried, down, or lost. We all respond to challenges in unique and creative ways, and these ways of adapting can make us less flexible, leading to problems in other areas of our lives. Perhaps this is impacting your relationships and how you feel about yourself. You might be having trouble understanding and expressing your thoughts and feelings. It can be difficult to heal from the past, find joy and comfort in the present, and choose the right path. I look forward to helping you make meaning from challenging experiences, and discover a greater sense of purpose.

Hello there. I have been in practice providing psychotherapy to adults and adolescents since 1994. Some clients see me briefly for focused concerns such as life transitions or work/school issues. Others who seek my help have been struggling with longer term depression/anxiety, effects of past trauma, or problematic relationship patterns, for many years. In either case I work from a psychoanalytic framework, using the power of the here and now therapy relationship to explore how peoples' unconscious thoughts color their experience of themselves and others. Over time this work often leads to deep, lasting life changes.

Growing up in a dysfunctional family, being in a toxic or abusive relationship, or experiencing the horrors of a traumatic event can set you on a collision course with daily triggers to anger, sadness, overwhelm, panic, or dissociation. Maybe you notice your reactions in your relationships are causing harm, and you regularly experience the dreaded “shame spiral.” You minimize your pain, or others regularly do. If this is you, I’m glad you’re here. Long-term healing is possible. Even if only a small part of you hopes for change, I'm confident it's enough to start the journey toward a peaceful and thriving life.

Just being human in this world can be confusing, exhausting and heartbreaking. We all feel stuck sometimes—in old patterns, painful feelings, anxious thoughts, or harsh beliefs about ourselves or others. And therapy is a great place to change those things. But I believe the true magic of therapy is in learning to feel—really feel in your bones—how whole and worthy you actually are, no matter how stuck or broken you might feel today. My job is to support and challenge you to get to know and accept all parts of yourself (yes, even that harsh inner critic). Together, we'll heal old wounds so you can feel more balanced and integrated.

“The wound is the place where the light enters you” – Rumi. Life stressors can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and even hopelessness. If you are feeling any of these, know that you are not alone. I trust in the power of therapy to re-examine stressful situations in a therapeutic environment. I am passionate about working with adults, children, and families to help identify barriers and dysfunctions; and to help facilitate positive changes to reinstate normal functions.
