We’ve all been there, lying awake because our brain keeps running through that thing that happened 6 months ago, not quite able to find the solution that would allow us to just roll over and get enough rest to wake up and do it all over again. When your brain constantly worries about the future or gets stuck in reflections about the past, it's hard to enjoy (or even really notice) what’s happening right now. Whether a single event or a series of distressing or confusing moments, trauma changes our ability to cope and makes daily stress harder to handle, causes feelings of anxiety and sadness, and messes with relationships.

Motherhood is hard, and oftentimes a role that receives very little support. Do you feel alone in trying to figure out how to mother? Do you wish you could feel more confident in this role? I have devoted my practice to helping mothers create more satisfying, productive, and peaceful lives. I believe in the healing powers of the therapeutic relationship and work hard to foster a genuine connection with my clients. Our sessions will be interactive and collaborative. I have a great passion for 'helping people help themselves' and work in a participatory manner with my clients. I look forward to being on this journey with you.

Together, we'll work on dealing with the things that are bothering you in your everyday life, be it challenges with relationships, work, or family. Whether our work is one-on-one, with you two as a couple, my clients gain valuable insights and practical tools to get unstuck and move forward. Imagine leaving each session feeling understood, empowered, and equipped to navigate life with confidence.

I offer holistic therapy to help women escape the veil of anxiety and live with authenticity. Clients I work with struggle with complex emotions. Despite being intelligent, hard-working, and having a witty sense of humor, life isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. When they first come to see me, they are exhausted by the never ending loop of “what if” scenarios and often find themselves trying to be perfect or pretend that they have it all together. If you’re ready to drop anxiety and find self-compassion, I'm your gal. We will work together in reclaiming your inner knowing, finding your voice, and living your most authentic life.

I am a Licensed Social Worker who is passionate about helping others confront their fears, insecurities, and feelings of loneliness or isolation. After 10 years in corporate finance, I was motivated to transition to a more fulfilling career. A deep commitment to my own mental health and curiosity about others' life journeys inspired me to seek a profession centered around human connection. I am particularly interested in collaborating with individuals who yearn for a greater sense of connection with themselves and others, as well as those who are curious about the interplay between themselves and their environment.

You are tired of thinking about the worst-case scenarios when it comes to your work and current/future relationships. You are tired of listening to the never-ending dialogue of your inner critic that you are not good enough to keep you stuck. You are tired of accommodating others but not putting yourself first without tremendous guilt or feeling selfish. You want to feel empowered, gain confidence, and access your resilience. It’s time to get joy and excitement back into your life. It's time to start showing up for yourself!

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I am a believer that counseling is a place where an individual can work to understand themselves (developing self-awareness) and manage themselves (managing mind-body and true self). My job is to help you in your journey of personal growth. Every person has unique and valuable skills within them. Our goal in therapy is to find what you want to change, what those unique skills are, and to work toward your goals. Often times people come to therapy because they feel disconnected and struggling. Our therapy will be a place for compassion/acceptance.

Starting therapy means entering a unique relationship that is centered on your care, and which offers profound growth. I see it as a source of understanding and empowerment - it allows us to better know ourselves and also to be ourselves in the world more fully and freely. I work with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, existential concerns, complex trauma, negative body image, low self-esteem, life transitions, and challenges that arise in academia. Many of my clients are queer and transgender and I am proud to hold those identities, as well.

So, my guess is that you are here because you are looking to make a change possibly. The same problem continues to surface without an end in sight. Maybe you thought about making this change before, but then a few days went by then life went on. Even though life went on that change you needed to make never happened so now we are back here again. At this very moment when you are contemplating a change it is very important that you make a commitment to yourself that you will not continue to do the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
