The clients I work with often feel different in some way, either because of neurodivergence, trauma, giftedness, or intense anxiety. Simply put, they process the world differently. The parents I see are doing their best to support their children's self-regulation even as they manage their own confusion and fatigue. They are looking for a guide rather than endless parenting blogs. My young adult clients are looking for ways to manage self-criticism, anxiety, and perfectionism. Frequently, they are processing trauma, striving to develop a balanced sense of self, and learning how to navigate relationships.

You can succeed in life especially in love, marriage, and family! Even though you may be experiencing great pain because of personal trauma and/or relationship conflicts, you can turn things around. However, you may need assistance from a trained, compassionate professional to help you, either as an individual or with your loved ones, to restore trust, friendship, joy, and deep love.

Hi there, I am a queer-identified therapist who specializes in working with adult individuals and couples. My approach to therapy starts with building a foundation of safety and trust together as I learn about your life, history and what you are seeking to work on or change through therapy. I will work with you to deepen your understanding of your patterns and where they are rooted, and to develop emotional strength and resilience to sit with your emotions long enough to understand them and make informed decisions as you move through your life and relationships.

At The Care Center I specialize in relationship counseling and complex trauma, PTSD, and Dissociative Identity Disorder. I help marriages or couples dealing with infidelity, blended family issues, conflict, communication issues, and couples in crisis. I'm also passionate about helping others heal from past traumas. My philosophy is to find the roots of the problems and resolve them rather than simply helping learn awkward coping skills. At The Care Center you won't learn weird communication skills or deep breathing techniques. We work on healing wounds and rebuilding trust. When you do these things you won't need more "skills."

We reach out for help when something in our life gets our attention. It could be distressing feelings and thoughts, paralyzing indecision, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, illness, just to name a few. We can feel vulnerable, lost, alone. Oftentimes, the original issue which first got our attention takes us on an unexpected journey. We are given the opportunity to deepen into our relationship with ourselves and the divine in ways that heal and change us beyond anything we imagined. This reverberates into every aspect of our life bringing happiness, renewed vitality, a sense of belonging and feeling engaged in life, contentment and peace.

Our emotional worlds are always speaking, yet we don't always understand its language. As therapist my goal is to bring a sensitive mind to the important work of listening with you to your honest experience, for the truths that want to be heard and have much to give. We will work towards easing your most difficult symptoms while, over time, bringing curiosity as to what goes on for you at a deeper level than perhaps you knew how to think about. I aim to support you in developing a better relationship to the painful places in you, and a deeper friendship with yourself that feels liberating, empowering, and enlivening.

By combining Developmental Model techniques with a personalized approach, I can help you navigate the complexities of relationships and intimacy both individually and relationally.

It’s a hard thing to be a highly sensitive person, and even more so when you’re also balancing the challenges of being a high-achieving woman. It’s all too common that we doubt ourselves or face mental health struggles, navigating the space between feeling both “too much” and “not enough”. Over the years of work that I’ve done, I’ve come to realize that the ease with which we navigate this space is largely determined by our ability to embrace and celebrate our strengths while simultaneously accepting and holding the parts of ourselves that we might not appreciate so much with non-judgment and self-compassion.

Does it feel like your life isn’t working for you? You’ve done everything the way you were supposed to – but you still feel burned out and discontent. Everyone around you thinks you are doing just fine. But on the inside, you feel empty and isolated. In the past, you always pushed through and made things happen (mostly for everybody else). Now, you’re feeling cynical and not good enough. If you are struggling and wanting to feel connected to your values and purpose in life, I can help.

I love working with clients who strive for growth and healing through a collaborative process of self-discovery. When the stories you believe about your life and about your self begin to hold you back, it is time to examine deeply where those messages come from, whether they serve your greater good, or if they are even accurate. I strive to work with clients to re-imagine their lives and their identity that is in alignment with their authentic self and truth(s). My clients learn how to integrate their past with their present in a way that creates wholeness and a sense of new purpose and meaning.
