Sometimes overwhelming and painful experiences from our past have a negative impact on our present. This can look like: BIG emotions in response to daily stressors Depression that just isn’t lifting Panic & anxiety that hinders your performance, sleep, & wellbeing. Be it coping with a cancer diagnosis, the aftermath of narcissistic abuse and co-dependency, healing from sexual assault, or dealing with the repercussions of a car accident - these life experiences can profoundly affect us. So often, it's a series of accumulating events that lead to chronic stress, overwhelming our current capacity to manage and cope.

Navigating life is a complex and tumultuous process. Every day, we're tugged in myriad directions, confronted with decisions at every turn that ask us to balance relationships, work, self-care, and personal growth. This constant barrage of "shoulds", responsibilities, and pressures in life creates an unrelenting current of stress and anxiety and leaves us worn thin and wondering, "why is it so hard to feel good?" It's no wonder that we find ourselves grasping at food, alcohol, tv, sex, drugs, and social media to relieve this tension. However, the relief provided by such behaviors is temporary and only exacerbates the problem.

The emotional challenges you are facing in your relationships or your work signal the opportunity for your greatest growth. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional reactivity, loneliness, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions or low self-worth, I can assist you to make lasting change. Within our collaboration together, you can learn skills for self-soothing, find relief from emotional reactivity, and shift self-limiting thoughts to thoughts that help you thrive.

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 dedicated to providing a supportive, safe environment for clients to work on their own areas of concern. A relational model provides the context for this work, which is guided by each individual's needs. You can depend on my ability to offer warmth and compassion; respect your process; be educational and interactive; provide support and direction; and truly care. Clients report feeling better, having new insights and knowing they are supported while contemplating and effecting change in their lives. I am committed to assisting you on your journey.

Here at Whole Connection, we believe that a healing relationship is the most important part of therapy. This connection allows each client to safely explore and create the changes and healing they are striving for. Our therapists support clients working with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, identity exploration, and a variety of other challenges that can arise in everyday life. We often work individually, with couples, or in a group setting to help our clients build the skills they need to work through and remain resilient in difficult times.

I work with clients who are experiencing problems that are typically long-standing, repetitive, and significantly interfering with their life. Some examples would include unsatisfying or unstable relationships, history of anxiety and depression, feeling they can't "be seen" or get their needs met, and living with emotional pain, chronic shame and disconnection from self. Client's often want to explore the impact of their early life and development, or focus on increasing their self-esteem and wellbeing, and many want to gain a deeper understanding of their patterns. Psychotherapy is an effective way to heal and live courageously.

I am an Ackerman trained family therapist and graduate of NYU, practicing individual, family, couple, and support group psychotherapy. I specialize in relationships, intimacy, illness, trauma, and loss. My therapeutic work w/clients focuses on exploring how family, religion, and cultures of origin influence how one learns to adapt in the world, both independently and when exploring new areas of intimacy and connection. I believe in the importance of my own self-awareness, acknowledging that the work in understanding one’s relationship to privilege regarding ethnicity, color, and other intersectional identities are a lifelong study.

I believe that every person has the capacity to be happy. When I work with individuals and couples, I get to know each unique person and circumstance. My treatment approach considers the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of each person. The non-judgmental relationship of trust and acceptance creates an environment that is conducive to the self-discovery that is necessary for achieving and maintaining optimal mental health and happiness. Helping others is my life's purpose, and I am honored to join people on their quest for a happy life.

Today's professionals are often challenged by the myth of perfectionism, 24/7 work schedules, and having a side hustle. All to frequent, people are wiped out by balancing a fulltime job, family commitments, and escalating economic demands. In the midst of this doing, many have stretched themselves emotionally, psychologically, and physically without adequately supporting their own need for restoration. In fact, without mental wellbeing, healthy coping mechanisms, rest, and healing practices; our minds and bodies experience exhaustion. This type of mental and physical fatigue can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and burnout.

All humans want to feel understood and accepted. But what happens when you don't? When you don't know what to do about all those "dumb" arguments or difficult people who don't "get it"? When you're stuck in an endless cycle of feeing bad/sad/mad and alone? This is the focus of my work with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Together, we will develop a plan for how to have more satisfying relationships. My approach is warm, direct and practical. Benefits to you are: feeling effective, respected and challenged to live your potential. Make your life make sense again. Contact me today!
