Therapists in 20010

You’re successful at work, an active community member, and the first person your friends call in a crisis. But inside, there’s a part of you that’s not getting what she needs. You know you ‘should’ value solitude and self-care, but it’s hard to be alone. Whenever there’s a pause in your busy life, you notice a gnawing sense of emptiness. Pain over past relationships is taking up a lot of your mental real estate. You wonder: Am I choosing the wrong people? Or am I pushing the ‘right’ people away? You long to be part of a close-knit tribe — but sometimes it feels like you need your friends more than they need you.

I believe all people have the capacity to grow and heal from trauma, anxiety, and stress given the right conditions and environment. It is overwhelming when painful memories, emotions and sensations disrupt our ability to participate in our professional and personal lives. I offer a warm, compassionate and authentic space where we'll connect with your strengths and resources so that you can create meaningful long term change.

Please feel free to give us a call, text, or email if you’d like to consider how one of our therapists may be of support to you.

Therapy is a choice that may allow for insight, personal awareness and change. Therapy allows you to increase self-awareness so that you can be accountable for you thoughts, feelings, and actions and learn to avoid triggering situations, unhelpful patterns of behavior and overcome challenges you are facing. I firmly believe in a person's potential for growth by integrating aspects of their past into the present in an effort to heal. As you learn to externalize parts of your self, it is my hope that you become more comfortable with vulnerability and present in your daily life.

Do your emotions feel overwhelming? Are you bored and restless with your life? Does the future seem hopeless? Many of us experience these feelings, yet often think we're the only ones. We worry that if we show people what’s really going on, they will avoid and judge us. In therapy, we give voice to these feelings, and learn that while they can be scary at times, they also reveal a path to healing and change.

As a clinical social worker, it is my passion to help people navigate through life's toughest moments while focusing on their strengths and successes. My years of experience working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, dissociative disorders, mood disorders, complex trauma and every day stressors allow me to address a wide range of challenges.

Not Accepting New Clients - Life is a journey not a destination. The path is filled with obstacles, detours, and unexpected storms. Navigating your Healing Journey can be tough.
