I have a strong passion for working with youth, families and young adults. Youth and families reach out when things become overwhelming with family or peer conflict, school issues, anxiety, obsessive/intrusive thoughts, depression, a trauma/loss, life/family transition, or something just isn't feeling quite right, and help is needed to identify what might be happening and how to start making progress towards feeling better.

Only accepting Neurodiverse Couples currently. Hello! You're probably frustrated and lost as to what to try next, sign up for, or do to feel better. You might feel hopeless and shameful that no matter what you try, you can't get back to "you" that you're missing. Often, my clients say that they feel like they just can't seem to find the right type of therapy or connection to a therapist or find actual self care that works. Other times, some people even say past therapy felt invalidating. When we begin to feel burnout, this can impact our relationships and work in such a major way. I am here to bring hope & find easier ways to cope.

Hi, I'm Damaris! My practice focuses on helping you learn how to connect with yourself and your emotions, cultivate self-compassion, and embrace more honesty and acceptance in your life. My areas of focus include working with adults navigating life transitions in their 20s and 30s. I am passionate about the people who experience fatigue from their high, unmet expectations. The people who struggle to disconnect their self-worth from what they do. The people who feel paralyzed by fear of failure or criticism. Perfectionism is a common thread in many of our lives, whether we’ve realized it or not.

When things are difficult, it can isolate us, drain our emotional reserves, and limit our ability to look at things in new ways. I work to help clients appreciate the depth of their experience, and support them toward personal strength and healthier relationships. My style is open, collaborative, direct, and supportive. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years in private practice. I also served as adjunct faculty at the University of Rochester's Counseling Center for many years.

Being a human is often complicated and sometimes painful. As a therapist I believe that developing a greater understanding of self and connection to the world can make existence meaningful and hopefully, a bit easier. I bring a trauma-informed perspective to my work and I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting. I consider my approach to be flexible and eclectic; while I am versed in different modalities, I recognize that there is not one “correct” approach in this important work.

As a queer and nonbinary individual, I am passionate about working with and advocating for the queer and neurodiverse communities. I strive to provide my clients a safe, sensory-friendly, and creative space to work through life’s challenges with a provider with whom they know has shared experiences and extensive experience in providing affirming care. I also have advanced training in systemic oppression and multicultural therapy, and provide gender-affirming services, like letters of recommendation for HRT and gender affirming surgeries.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed with an unwanted change, unmet expectations, or a significant health diagnosis such as cancer or a chronic illness? These experiences impact how we cope and live our lives. Healing is not always linear, but it is possible; finding a therapist that you connect well with and where you feel comfortable is a vital part of that healing. People can sometimes struggle to find a space that is just theirs to be able to process the good, the bad and the in between... but our sessions together can be just that. Your space and time to have a moment to focus on your needs.

It's tough to be your best self when your relationship is struggling. You might start to feel depressed, hopeless, on edge. But there's hope. Triggers don't have to escalate into giant fights that ruin your entire night. You can communicate without misunderstanding so that you both feel heard and understood. Your relationship can once again feel stronger than ever if you're willing to put in some hard work. The process is sometimes painful and difficult. But it's also often fun. You will communicate in better ways, learn new skills for compromise, and get to know each other on a deeper level.

You probably already know that if you're neurodivergent the best way to deal with problems isn't by ignoring them or trying to push through them. Having autism, ADHD, and/or OCD means our brains take in and process input differently, leading us to have a harder time self-regulating and interacting within a neurotypical designed world. Healing requires us to take stock of the triggers that lead to feelings of overwhelm, learn how to pace ourselves, better advocate for our wants and needs, and develop more effective ways to cope. If you want to live easier and more authentically, therapy might be a great next step.

I'm not currently accepting new clients; however, I'm happy to refer to another clinician with openings at my trauma-focused group practice, Sustainable Wellness. I believe we all have the potential to better ourselves, and that growth occurs while exploring the root causes of issues - not just treating symptoms. I have a holistic approach, treating the entire person rather than a disorder or specific hardship. I view my clients as experts on their own lives and my role as the facilitator of change. I help address my clients' struggles while, equally importantly, maintaining areas of strength.
