As an organization we recognize that QTBIPoC folx tend to experience disproportionate amounts of mental health disparities due to large gaps in our current mental healthcare system. Here at MEND we believe that part of addressing those gaps is through the consistency of our intersectional feminist lens. In an effort to promote equity, we are expanding our team and client population to include members who hold identities that have not traditionally been offered at MEND. And while we center supporting QTBIPoC folx, we also offer services to those who do not hold these identities.

Welcome to a space where transformation begins, and the promise of a brighter future awaits. I work with individuals seeking profound change. My ideal client is someone ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Clients who resonate with my approach often seek a therapist grounded in curiosity, compassion, strength, and insight. They are drawn to a methodology influenced by attachment theory, psychoanalytic theory, somatic work, nervous system regulation, and neurobiology.

I work in-person & via telehealth with individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing some stress or anxiety in their lives and have decided to attend therapy to address and resolve those issues. Clients will develop tools and strategies to navigate life and thrive in a more healthy way. Some clients prefer assignments between sessions, some prefer psycho-education, and others still prefer therapy focused on emotion. I work with clients to determine how they want to work in therapy, and in turn, clients feel agency over the change they create in their lives. I believe this change best occurs in a safe, trusting environment.

What is anxiety? How about depression? What purpose do they serve? Can something else achieve that purpose? These are the types of questions I hope to explore with you to understand where these symptoms come from and how they can be experienced differently. While many patients identify anxiety or depression as a reason for starting therapy, our emotions are often not all that easy to pin down. Sometimes a change (or lack of change) in life can make us feel unsteady or stuck. Whatever reason leads you to therapy, we will seek to better understand the role of thoughts and emotions and how we can shift them to better serve you.

Waitlist for new clients
Welcome! Looking for a therapist can be daunting. I applaud you for taking steps to help yourself. My clients typically come to me because they are suffering from high levels of stress or anxiety. They feel overwhelmed and panicky, are not able to stop worrying, or feel irritable and angry. Often they are puzzled by the intensity of their own emotional responses and they blame themselves for “overreacting”. Sounds familiar? There is nothing wrong with you. Your past memories, likely traumatic ones, may be intensifying your responses.

My ideal client is one who is willing to be uncomfortable, as growth and change happen outside of our comfort zone. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to be curious about themselves and want to create a collaborative relationship with their therapist. I place a high value on working to understand where each person has come from, to validate their experiences, and then work next to them toward their goals. Change is difficult and I deeply honor the growing pains that can come with change. Therefore, I also enjoy empowering and supporting clients to find the correct tools that can help foster their wanted growth.

Life comes at us fast and we’re not always ready for it but that’s okay! I believe that we all crave connection with our peers, friends, family, and partners. And when we aren’t working on those connections, we’re working to build our connection with ourself. To fully work through that and make progress, I use a direct approach in helping clients address concerns that may arise from their connections with others or with themself. I believe that the most progress can be made when it’s accompanied with empathy and unconditional positive regard - two pillars of therapeutic work to foster growth and a sense of safety.

Life is like a rollercoaster. Cheesy, I know, but it’s one of my favorite metaphors for life. It’s filled with so many ups and downs, at times we’re holding on for dear life and at others, we put our hands up in the air and enjoy the ride. It’s helpful to have someone beside you no matter where you are on the journey, and that’s why I’m here. I use a trauma- and attachment-based approach to target mind, body, and soul. I use a variety of interventions from somatic, mindfulness, narrative, emotion-focused, and cognitive behavioral frameworks. Therapy is a collaborative process, you are in the driver's seat and I in the passenger.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.
How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.
Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
