Each life stage brings a particular set of challenges and opportunities, much of which we can handle on our own. When you need someone to listen and to help you find your way, working with a counselor like me can be a wonderful option. My focus is on quickly building a foundation of respect, empathy, and support for our work together, to help you understand yourself better and get back to living the life you want. My clients come to me for help with issues like: life transitions, relationships, making decisions, changing goals, worries/sadness, grief/loss, and more.

I believe in the innate goodness of people. Problems arise when we lack the ability to communicate what's really going on within or can't get past defenses to understand another person's feelings or experiences. Most people haven't been taught the skills to be safe listeners and so we grow up believing that others don't have capacity to understand us. I love bringing people closer by teaching them to cross the bridge into the world of others without losing themselves. I teach emotional safety by demonstrating emotional safety and believe breakdowns create opportunities for new breakthroughs.

I practice care through psychotherapy with children, adolescents and adults. I help patients address a range of issues, including: depression, anxiety, ADD and ADHD, trauma, perinatal and postnatal issues, grief, difficulties managing anger, pervasive developmental disorders, low self-esteem, family conflicts, academic difficulties, peer conflict, and chronic medical illness. I seek to understand the unique needs each of my clients within the context of their own ethnic, cultural, and racial identity. I collaborate regularly with parents when treating children.

Are you struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior? Do you spend hours watching pornography on your computer? Have you had several unsuccessful attempts to stop your behavior? Are you feeling like your life is spiraling out of control? If so, you may be struggling with sexual or porn addiction. Or perhaps you suspect your partner may be struggling with these issues or he has just exposed to you the truth about his behaviors?

I specialize in working with children and adolescents struggling with problem behaviors and mental health disorders. I have found that through play therapy, motivational interviewing, and working closely on coping skills and emotional regulation, children are better able to combat the daily challenges faced at school and at home. Every individual is unique and finding the methods that allows each clients to benefit from therapy and lead a successful life is essential to my practice. I am also a native Spanish speaker.

As a person experiencing anxiety, a stressful life transition, overwhelming emotions or symptoms of trauma, you are motivated to feel good again and reclaim your life. You’ve tried to fix it on your own, but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long. You’re worried things might get worse, or maybe they already have.

I am dedicated to helping people realize their personal and relational potential. My expertise and passion is in sex and relationship therapy, and LGBTQ, kink, and polyamory friendly work. I specialize in issues of trauma, sexual assault and abuse, and domestic violence. I assist people in understanding their unhelpful thinking patterns, navigating healthy relationship dynamics, and difficulties in communication.

Sex is an area of life that can both impact and be impacted by everything else in life. Yet we often feel so alone in our sexual lives with very few places and people to turn for help. It is for exactly that reason that I was driven to be a sex therapist and open Peak Couples & Sex Therapy, a group psychotherapy practice. Our sexual selves matter. Our sexual needs, wants, fears and struggles all matter. I want to create the space for others that my younger self deserved to have when she was growing up, trying to understand how sex and relationships impacted her confidence, identity, values and needs.

NEW Client Openings in May- Many emerging adults struggle during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. They spend their days feeling anxious and unfulfilled, falling back on patterns that used to work for them but which no longer are. If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, identity development or unresolved trauma, there is a path forward. You might feel like you keep trying to make changes in your life, and maybe things will go well for a while, but nothing sticks. You're motivated to change, you just need some extra guidance.

Hello and welcome! Successful therapy is so often about finding the right “fit” between therapist and client. With over 25 years’ experience in providing therapy I have had time to master multiple approaches to treatment, which means that I can customize your treatment to fit your needs. I take a collaborative problem-solving approach to treatment, where we establish an alliance to facilitate beneficial therapeutic change. As a therapist I value your experiences, desires, and goals. A major focus of my therapeutic work is with clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship problems.

Thank you for your interest. My practice is NO longer taking new clients. My ideal client is one who shows up ready to do their work. They may not have clarity or insight about what should happen next, but they know that they want to feel better &/or have their lives function in a better way. That’s a client who makes my work easier. I know that they will match my efforts. My second ideal client is one who has had a not-so-good or effective therapeutic experience in their past, but they’re willing to try again.

Perhaps you feel sad, incapable, overwhelmed or responsible for the hardships you've suffered either personally or between other people? Is your self-understanding based on how other people think or treat you? Whatever your struggle, the first step is finding support. I know asking for help can be hard and may seem to make things worse, like your fears are real. But let me pause and remind you that your life does not have to be dictated by others or negative feelings. Finding true freedom in relationships and with yourself is really possible! You just have to take that first step, in fact you're already doing it.
