You have always been "the responsible one." You keep pushing yourself to excellence. But in your relationships? You make yourself smaller, minimizing your needs in the hope that maybe you won't be "too much" for everyone else. But no matter how many hurdles you cross and how many achievements you make, that voice in your head keeps going. Shaming you. Criticizing you. You never feel "good enough." When will you finally be happy and content?

For the past 20 years I have had the privilege of working with young adults and adults, some caregivers and practitioners who have struggled with burnout, chronic illness, addiction, life and career transitions and relationship stressors. Coming from a solution-oriented perspective, I work collaboratively with individuals to identify healthy ways of moving forward in their lives. I support their journey in identifying strengths while working to overcome the parts of themselves that interfere with the life they would like to live.

Whether you are a child, teenager, or adult of any age, struggling with anxiety, sadness, grief, or trauma, whatever it is that brings you here, welcome. When we reach a crossroads or struggle to move forward, therapy can broaden our perspectives and offer new insights. As we take what we learn in therapy and apply it in our lives, we can begin to feel different: lighter, richer, fuller. It can feel like we are opening a window to allow more oxygen and light to enter.

Sometimes we feel down and we just don't know the reason why. Or we do know why but we don't know how to fix it. Sometimes we are no longer getting along with the person we love. And sometimes we could just use some extra support. As a clinical mental health counselor, I am able to work with you on just about any challenge you may be experiencing, from depression and anxiety, to substance abuse, eating disorders, and relationship issues. I welcome clients from all walks of life and with all types of goals.

We are convinced we have a problem. We're focused on it, worried about it, and it often feels like it defines us. These problems tend to show up or worsen during life and relationship transitions. Attending to what isn't working, as well as being intentional about addressing these problems, is necessary for change. Easily overlooked though, are the jewels - the opportunities hiding behind those problems. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for growth opportunities - offering compassion to those parts of ourselves we don't like or shame us, while allowing for the fluidity, flexibility and movement required for transformations.

I believe a client already has the necessary tools to seek and find healing but may need assistance in identifying their needs, past themes, and hurting parts of themselves. I also believe that we are all uniquely shaped by cultural, environmental, racial, and social factors.

I work well with client’s looking to do meaningful self-development, understand theirselves as they elevate their self-worth, improving their communication skills and boundary setting abilities. Underlying our struggles are learned behaviors that we developed in response to situations we feel disempowered. In therapy, we will understand how your life story has shaped your current self, thoughts, and emotions. Using a person-centered and eclectic approach, aspire to help you regain your confidence and contentment in life.

How the hell did I/we end up here? When are things going to finally shift for me/us? Life, relationships, job: Could be worse, but could be waaaay better. If any of these statements capture where you're at - welcome to therapy. Whether it's your first time looking for a therapist, or your second decade in treatment, with me, you can bring your whole self - with its questions, stuckness, fears, longings, uncertainties - and find ways to move through. Described as "warm" and "direct" by clients, my work is strongly grounded by anti-racism, critical multicultural theories, and affective neuroscience.

We could all use a little help sometimes working through life's road blocks and getting to the bottom of what got us here in the first place. Since each client's needs are unique, I prefer using an eclectic approach that is grounded in cognitive behavior and psychodynamic therapies aimed at building confidence and strengthen coping skills. I work toward helping clients identify their own troublesome patterns that interfere with living more authentically.

I specialize in working with young adults and adults struggling to navigate significant life transitions and stressors, and the anxiety and adjustment concerns that these changes naturally bring. Many of my clients are going through times of significant life adjustment and change impacting identity, interpersonal difficulties, and relationships, including breakups, divorces, the birth of a new child, transitions to college or a new workplace. I also provide strengths-based psychological evaluations that are comprehensive and tailored to your unique needs as an individual.

What if everything we’ve been taught about life is a myth? What if the traditional formula for health and happiness doesn’t pertain to you? Are those rules about fitting into someone else’s version of what life should be? Do those rules inspire you, or do they keep your life - and your dreams - small? Solving problems in your head is an old-school and outdated strategy. Accessing the wisdom of the body is the new paradigm. At Next Generation Core, we will dig deeper to build a growth mindset.
