I help individuals, couples, and families work through the places they feel stuck so they can achieve their own version of success.

The past 22 years I've seen an eclectic group of clientele: men, women & couples of any gender/orientation who want to improve their sexual lifestyle. I've helped men overcome ED through increasing their self confidence and women who want to feel more sexually in charge. I've seen over 25,000 couples throughout every stage of their relationship whether single, dating, married, or exploring and experimenting couples to ones who are curious how to stay together and keep the chemistry strong. My clients include stay at home moms, stressed out executives, artists, entrepreneurs & communities: LGBTQ, BDSM, & Transgender Families.

You don't have to do this alone. These are trying times. I specialize not in one, but four of the latest, cutting edge therapies to address Trauma. I use somatic therapy tools such as Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and more to help you not only manage your stress but achieve Post Traumatic Growth. I bring you 20 years of expertise to get you the most effective results you can in the shortest amount of time. If you feel it's time to do things differently -to get support when you need it most-then contact me today.

I specialize in working with folks who are struggling with relationships, be they in them or wanting them or grieving the loss of them. This can mean romantic, platonic, familial, work-based, and the relationships with different parts of ourselves, like that inner critic we sometimes hear. I practice somatic psychotherapy, meaning I understand emotions as physical experiences, or that physical, emotional, and mental factors are crucially interrelated. Reasons for seeking therapy are as diverse and complex as people are and the urge is rarely a singular one; my holistic approach reflects this to be able to meet you where you are.

I help women understand their thoughts, feelings, and reactions so that they can be the best version of themselves. Whether you are experiencing feelings of stress and anxiety, depression, or challenges in your relationships, we can work together to help you cope. I believe there is great value in investing 50 minutes a week in therapy as part of a self-care routine.

Let's gather up your strengths and improve your life! Positive psychology is the scientific study of what makes life most worth living. It is a call for psychological science and practice to be as concerned with strength as with weakness; as interested in building the best things in life as in repairing the worst; and as concerned with making the lives of normal people fulfilling as with healing pathology. Let's discover it together and activate change!

Hello - I am passionate in working with adults to find their best selves and address any underlying relationship or anxiety issues.

I tend to see individuals who achieve success in school and in their careers, but retain a chronic and deep-seated feeling that something is missing. Often, these individuals have gotten by on exceptional logic with little sense that there can be more to their existence. They may be more comfortable doing as opposed to being, thinking as opposed to feeling, and helping as opposed to being helped. High standards commonly include high pressure to self-contain, which can cause immense, private suffering. I aim to provide these individuals with a fuller and more compassionate experience of themselves.

Are you experiencing: relationship issues, anxiety, communication & intimacy concerns, infidelity, conflict, big life changes? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, unable to make clear decisions? Maybe you and your partner keep having the same argument with no resolution - now there's a wall between you and you don't know how to be close and intimate again. Together, we will create a calm supportive environment to promote healing, and look at past betrayals (affairs, broken promises), that may be hindering your ability to trust and move forward. Working with a neutral professional trained in mediation will help!

I am dedicated to working with you to provide a safe space to address the challenges and issues that you are struggling with. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed, anxious, or would just like some support in managing parenting or work-life balance, I am happy to help. My approach to therapy is integrative and flexible, combining cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, developmental, interpersonal therapies, and even a little humor, in meeting your individual and unique needs.

Are you feeling like things aren't working out the way you want them to? Do you find that anxiety or depression are stopping you from your goals? I am a Stanford educated clinical psychologist. I provide brief, solution-focused interventions combined with an interactive and positive style in order to decrease anxiety and fear, improve your mood, and help you to make your life more effective and enjoyable. Incorporating a variety of cognitive behavioral techniques, we will work together to overcome the issues and challenges getting in the way of you living your life and achieving your goals.

Hi, my name is Katie. I am a warm, supportive, and solution-focused therapist here to help you through a difficult time.

To help you feel better, we will use concrete, evidence-based strategies to learn how to predict and proactively manage symptoms. With these skills, you will surprise yourself at how quickly you begin to reclaim your life, and experience relief.

Relationships are as important to us as food and water. They can strengthen us, like a vitamin, or weaken us, like the flu. You are only as good in relationships as the relationships you have been in. As your therapist I can assist you in many ways. I can help you learn more about yourself, increase both self-compassion and compassion for others, and heal past trauma. Together, we can explore how to feel more connected to yourself, your values, and people you care about.

You are determined, smart and used to navigating challenges but this time it feels like everything is falling apart and you aren't sure what to do next. Normally you could handle this yourself or push the worry away but bigger questions are arising and you are left feeling stuck, lost in ambivalence, confusion, imposter syndrome and anxiety. You feel like your dreams and what you have worked for are slipping away and it's impacting your life & relationships. This may be triggering lots of painful or scary feelings, memories from your past or the idea that now is the time to make real change.

We all want the same things. To be understood, recognized, treated with kindness and respect. To feel like we belong. We share the same path to growth through self-effort in overcoming challenges in our life’s journey. Are you mastering the game of life? You are more powerful than your past or stories. Truth be told, “life is simply what you create it to mean.” Imagine yourself as the eagle that soars up into the sky with Wisdom as a compass. I can help you with self-esteem, trauma, grief, chronic illness, depression, anxiety, womens’ empowerment, life transitions, issues related to aging, death/dying, and pet loss.

Beginning psychotherapy can be both an exciting and sometimes, challenging process. Each person is the "expert" on their own experience, but at times we need collaborative support in order to sort through our emotional lives. We may feel stuck in our current ways of coping and desire to make a change, or we may have been urged by loved ones to seek help. Therapy allows us to open up our minds in an environment of safety, leaving us free to explore new ways of thinking and being in the world.

I treat individuals and couples of all ages. As a somatic psychotherapist, I use a body-mind approach to help clients move through life's challenges in a natural, integrative and holistic way. I specialize in education, prevention and resolution of trauma. At times we can feel stuck and confused, and need help coming back into balance in our bodies, minds and relationships. A somatic approach focuses on the here and now and what is going on. It is only when we are aware of what we are sensing in the present that we can make a boundary or choice.

If you are considering starting or reentering therapy, your journey has already begun. You have already committed to your own growth and well-being. You may be struggling with anxiety and depression, exploring parts of your identity, or seeking support through a challenging transition. What is wonderful about therapy is that you don't have to do it alone. With experience as a bodyworker and artist, as well as a Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology, I work with individuals, and couples to support a holistic movement towards wellness through expressive, embodied talk therapy. I offer online therapy with screening.
