I specialize in women's issues, trauma, relationships, anxiety, grief, aging, and life transitions of all stripes. I believe that each of us has the capacity to live in more centered, nurtured, and meaningful ways, and that we have a right to self-actualization. We seek therapy when we are on the verge of change: something's not working, but oftentimes we lack clarity about what comes next. I offer directness, humor, insight, and alliance as we explore what it is you truly want out of life.

Do you struggle with connecting? Have difficulties with men? Or want healthier relationships. Through training on attachment, trauma therapy, and building a healthy relationship with you I aim to repair old relationships so you can have the ones you want going forward. I also work with people going through tough transitions in life. This could be time of life, coming out of intensive therapy previously or intense family dynamics. This could mean we are working on early attachments, relationships with men, or traumas that have greatly impacted you. I aim to work with those who want to feel seen or who have had trouble connecting.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, prevention educator, and lover of the outdoors who specializes in working with adolescents and young adults through telebehavioral health. I have worked to address a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, substance use, trauma, identity, and grief. My training allows me to integrate Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Practices, and Positive Youth Development into treatment. I work hard to help clients feel comfortable with a strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed style.

We specialize in the education and treatment of digital media overuse, which includes, video game addiction, social media, information overload, spending compulsions, and online pornography overuse and addiction. We prioritize family involvement because we know that including family members supports overall change, and the health and wellness of the whole family. Families find that when involved in treatment they achieve what they came in to change in a more timely fashion. We provide expert advice, education and guidance to individuals and families seeking to learn more about how to use digital media in a healthy, effective manner, as well as to those who are in the depths of addiction. We specialize in the common co-existing issues found alongside or underneath digital media overuse/addiction, such as anxiety, isolation, depression, academic challenges and failure, inability to obtain or keep employment, lying and deceitful behavior, as well as, aggressive and acting out behaviors.

We are living in a time of uncertainty, and for many, fear is a part of our every day lives. The healing and answers we seek go beyond band-aid approaches or comforting words. To heal our wounds, and live with the realities of life's unpredictability, we need all of us. And you need all of you, together, and whole. As you access a visceral awareness of your body and listen to your intuitive heart, your healing begins. Tapping into your mind’s creativity to unearth internal wisdom and external resources, all your parts together can mend traumatic injuries and weave together a new path.

You really want to enjoy life but everything seems daunting. You feel stuck, overwhelmed and confused. Life can be challenging but you do not have to go through this alone. My first aim in therapy is to create a space where you can feel safe and heard. Together, we embark on a journey of greater insight to understand what is holding you back and to create possibilities for change. I see therapy as a collaborative process: I bring my skills and experience and you bring your whole self, your strengths and vulnerabilities, your fears and desires. My goal is to help you live a full and meaningful life in a way that feels true to YOU.

Therapy is such a unique and personal journey, therefore I practice an integrative and individualized style of therapy to best address your specific needs. My therapeutic style can be described as interactive, empathetic, nonjudgmental and gently challenging. I focus on helping to build on client's strengths while also directing attention to those behaviors and thoughts that hold people back from achieving their goals and living a more authentic life. I have particular expertise with eating disorders, addictions, depression, anxiety, highly sensitive temperament, self-esteem issues, and relationship issues.

Are you tired of feeling "too sensitive"? Like you're at the mercy of your emotions and the moods of those around you? Do you wish you had the confidence and calm that others seem to? Your empathy is your superpower, but it doesn't often feel that way.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, improve your relationship, or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you.

Most likely you're not looking for a therapist because you feel so awesome you want to pay someone to talk about it. I know that certainly wasn't the case for me - I first sought therapy because I was in a ton of pain (and not the physical kind). If that sounds familiar, first off, welcome. Second, although suffering is difficult, sometimes it is the only thing that can motivate us to make the positive changes necessary for true happiness. Although it might be external circumstances that caused you to start looking for a therapist, it is the internal work that sets us free.

From pre-conception to postpartum, becoming a mother rarely looks how we expect it to, and the strain between those expectations and our realities leave us vulnerable to feeling postpartum anxiety or depression. The demands on the modern mom feel higher than ever. We are to love and adore motherhood, be excelling in our careers, making magical Pinterest birthday parties, socializing our children, finding the perfect school or childcare provider, cooking healthy meals, having a social life, having a great relationship and sex life, having a clean house. The list is endless, and moms carry the weight of it.

Life is difficult and, yes there is hope. Perhaps you have tried different approaches to find what you're looking for and yet nothing seems to have helped fill in that "gap" or that something that missing in your heart. I invite you to follow that thread; what in your heart that feels stuck? Consider even what comes up for you as I ask you that question? That internal struggle is good, it shows you're asking good questions and that you deep down know there's something more to be found.

Maybe you’re doing fine on the outside, but inside something doesn’t feel quite right. You’re unhappy, tense, self-critical. Or maybe your life as you know it feels like it’s falling apart. Something is changing, or needs to change, and that can be a scary, confusing, lonely place to be, especially when the way forward isn’t yet clear. The best path I’ve found in such times is rooted in what’s known as the Paradoxical Theory of Change: psychologically, things are most likely to change when we can accept them fully as they are. That is, in order to move forward, we need to stop resisting where we actually are - our square one.

Are you experiencing increased levels of stress, disharmony in your marriage or a lack of connection at home or at work? I believe we are living in a most challenging time. My practice creates a safe space to share and reset with increased resources and vision. I am a Gottman Level 3 therapist that brings relational principles and expertise from my 34 years to build lives and relationships that thrive. I see couples through all needs and stages. I provide counsel with organizations in order to increase leadership and team development. Together we can grow resilience, love, and hope.

I work with clients who have a strong desire to face their personal issues and relationship difficulties. Whether just starting, or at some other stage of therapy, most of my clients have issues and concerns related to trauma, PTSD, chronic shame, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relational difficulties, grief, anger, emotional pain and unhappiness. What most clients want is resolution, relief, and freedom, along with a new, integrated perspective and deeper meaning about their lives.

Welcome! Are you tired of feeling stuck? I specialize in self-compassion and have extensive experience helping adults (18+) navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, stress and burnout. My style is warm, effective, strengths-based and solution-focused. You will find our sessions to be a supportive space where we will collaboratively get to the root of your concerns, explore overwhelming emotions, and discuss tools that can help you overcome what you are facing. Whether you want to address your relationship with yourself or with others, I can help.

My work focuses on that complex point, at which, individuals intersect with another. Through intimate/romantic relationships, friendships, partnerships, families, and organizations that we are surrounded by, I learn where individual strengths and weaknesses are. Through that knowledge and understanding, I work with people to discover creative means of closing the gap between where people are right now and where they would ideally like to be.

Whether you are an individual or couple looking for personal support, or a therapeutic practitioner looking to take your practice to another level of potency, the Somatic Wilderness Therapy Institute guides you in taking your ongoing growth and evolution to the next level. Our goal is to provide you with powerful, cutting-edge information and practices that support you in deeply listening to and trusting your own inner guidance. Each of our therapists draws on the support, wisdom, and interconnectedness of the body-mind-spirit along with that of the natural world in the growth and healing process as they work with you.

I pride myself in counseling the whole person instead of narrowly treating issues. Whatever issues or symptoms are presented, they are connected in meaningful ways to the individual. Greater self awareness leads to more effective self-regulation of moods and behavior. Depth counseling is reaching for the root of one's pain as opposed to snipping at the outer branches or leaves. I liken counseling to detective work in which my clients and I identify clues and follow the trail of symptoms back to the source of original pain, trauma and grief. From there, deep healing is possible.
