You are tired of having intrusive thoughts that make you wonder “what if” about every little thing. You desperately want to stop checking things over and over. Deep in your heart you worry: "Is this really who I am?" You are terrified of talking about all this. You don't want to be labeled a "bad person" or even falsely reported to authorities. You just want someone to make you feel certain that none of your scary thoughts or fears will come true.
A Process Group based on the book "Radical Acceptance" to awaken the compassion that heals fear and shame within us. Welcome to all levels of mindfulness and meditation practitioners, this group will meet once a week for a supported discussion based on teachings offered in "Radical Acceptance" and a related guided meditation. Each session, we will come together as a community to deepen our practice of Radical Acceptance. Through meditation, mindfulness practices, and learning to embody the healing power of compassion, we can discover the very real possibility of meeting imperfection in ourselves and others with courage and love and so transform our lives.

Do you notice yourself bumping up against the same old patterns? You may have disturbing memories that plague you, or feel stuck and overwhelmed by the uncontrollable intensity of past trauma. Maybe you struggle with feeling that you aren't good enough or deserving enough. Maybe you feel weighed down by emotional pain or shame that you can't seem to shake. So often our painful past experiences color our present perceptions, keeping us in a rut, circling through the same negative thoughts and feelings. I help those who feel imprisoned by their trauma break free and find empowerment and healing.

As the world has changed, many of us have come to crossroads in our lives. When in isolation we have been forced to look closely at the relationships we value, the activities we enjoy, and what we wish to change. In the age of social media, the culture of comparison has dominated our inner psyches and altered our abilities to obtain lasting happiness. In our work together, I want to provide you with a warm, thoughtful, socioculturally-attuned, and collaborative environment. Here, we can explore your individual needs, the belief systems you hold, and your hopes for the future.
We will explore ways to manage anxiety, relationships, and job stress.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in Anxiety Disorders/ OCD, Eating Disorders, and PTSD/Trauma. I approach my clients from a team stance, always making sure they have a well-rounded support base around them. I am EMDR trained and use it as a tool with my existing clients and as well as see clients who primarily seek EMDR sessions to move stuck experiences and core beliefs. To me, the importance of therapy is to get your life back into balance as addiction and trauma can create an "all or nothing" element and a repetition of patters and maladaptive behaviors.

I am glad you're looking for therapy support in times that are drastically impacted by the capitalist mindset & inequality. Life’s external factors, like stress and trauma experiences including but not limited to childhood abuse, physical abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual assaults, racial and social trauma as well as anti-LGBTQ+ policies take a toll on our life. These may show up as fatigue, sadness, anxiety, overthinking, thoughts of self-harm, low self-esteem, and disables us from our growth. In such times, we all can use trauma-informed and nonjudgmental professional support to help us heal from root causes of these needs.

Your mother did her best, but you saw some terrible things growing up. If only there were some way to make sense of these overwhelming thoughts and emotions, but how?

My two specialties are working with therapists and organizational leaders. I love helping therapists get past imposter syndrome to integrate their personal values and unique perspective into their counseling modality. Therapists need support also! Let’s clarify your change theory, figure out what clients are a best fit for you, and build your confidence as a therapist. Working with organizational leaders is very important work for me. Executives and other organizational leaders are isolated, stressed out, and overwhelmed. Let’s find balance between your personal and professional lives.

Thank you for reaching out, which is a first, brave step in finding the therapist you like -the best predictor for therapeutic success. I feel blessed in my role as a therapist and deeply love my work. My clients suffer from depression, new relational wounds, old wounds and trauma, stress, anxiety, autism, and/or LGBTQ+ related problems. Because happiness and success depend on a sense of interconnectedness, my clients often seek to improve the quality of their relationships to themselves (inner peace, self-love, mindfulness, clarity), others (e.g., partnerships, parents, friends, employers), and the universe that can seem so cold.

By seeking outside support, you've already taken one of the hardest steps on the healing journey. It takes courage to turn inward, face our present struggles, and open ourselves up to change. Unprocessed pain can create feelings of stuckness and negative thought patterns that worsen self-esteem. Therapy can help you understand how you got to this point, and how to identify and reframe the belief-systems and habits that are no longer serving you. These shifts create room for growth and can restore a sense of empowerment and agency over one's life.
