Whether you're transitioning to a new job, anxious about a relationship, navigating a recent loss, these adjustments can feel stressful and overwhelming. I have experience working with trauma, grief, life transitions, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, and academic/occupational issues. I enjoy working with college/graduate students and young professionals. am trained in a range of modalities including CBT and DBT, but overall, I am person-centered, attachment based and psychodynamically oriented. Thus, I approach therapy from a trauma-focused lens, providing a safe space for clients to process all thoughts and feelings.

My name is Soren and I work with children and adults of all ages to help people grow in whatever directions feel the most authentic to them. If you are feeling misunderstood, lost, trapped, or alone, my practice is a safe space for you. Many times we hide our deepest truths from others and even from ourselves in order to keep moving forward and not make a fuss or ignite difficult emotions. However, this denies us the chance for a more full and connected life. Life is hard, beautiful, and confusing. In my work we learn to hold space for all of these truths and explore them honestly.

It's hard to say when things 'shifted', but you realize that you barely recognize the person you've been living with. It's both heart wrenching and horrifying to imagine that you and your partner have grown so far apart. You're questioning your relationship - maybe ALL of your relationships. You're a stranger to your partner, and they, to you. What brought us together to begin with? And why can't we work through even the simplest things? At some point maybe you convinced yourself that 'this will pass'. Maybe it started when you got that new job, when your kids were born, when... But now, the distance between you can't be ignored.

Welcome. I work in a collaborative and compassionate style to help further understand and address the concerns that led you to this site. You are likely in search of relief from the way you are currently feeling. All of us employ coping strategies, but when constant worry, depression, relational, or life stress begin to overwhelm these strategies, it is often time to seek some professional help. We will work together to outline a plan to provide you with resources to reduce your current distress, facilitate growth, and make meaningful life changes.

Birth and motherhood are meant to be addictive. Yet so many of us feel anxious in pregnancy, experience birth trauma and struggle postpartum. In a culture where mothers are not supported, and the system prioritizes "safety" above all, women are often left stuck in survival stress after birth of their child. But please know that healing, love, and joy is available for you. Whether you wish to process and integrate your birth experience, prepare for the transition to the new role, or address your hopes and needs in pregnancy or postpartum, I am here to walk alongside and hold space for you as you navigate the perinatal journey.

At one time or another, any one of us may feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. We may feel we are alone in our suffering or going through something no one else can understand. We may turn to drugs, alcohol or reckless behaviors. Our relationships suffer, our identity and self-worth collapse, and the vision we have for a happy, fulfilled future seems impossible to achieve. For many, therapy provides the guidance, skills, support and insight to unravel the source of suffering and change limiting thoughts, beliefs and behaviors into healthy, adaptive ones.

Feeling lost or stuck? Ready to begin coming to terms with yourself? Want to come to a better understanding of yourself in your relationships? Interested in digging through your life and getting a firmer grasp on your identity? Are there childhood experiences that you’ve yet to fully deal with that creeps into your bones, your daily stressors and your relationships? Whether you've heard you're "too hard on yourself" or know that you would never treat anyone else the way you're treating yourself, you've finally made it to therapy. You’re taking the first step. It’s time to think, talk and create meaning.

People decide to begin therapy for a variety of reasons. Many have had painful or traumatic experiences that they are unable to move past. Some feel stuck in unhelpful thought patterns or behaviors, or struggle to find fulfillment in relationships or at work. Others may feel burdened with excessive worry, or with feelings of low self worth and inadequacy. I believe that recovery involves healing of the mind and body, and I am trained in several modalities, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), eating disorder treatment, and suicide prevention.

Are you struggling with worry, overwhelm, and stress? Are you feeling limited or stuck in life? When personal exploration is supported and encouraged, we decide who we are and how we want to live our lives.

I aim to help you to learn and grow from the past to live an intentional and empowered life in the present. My work emphasizes developing both practical tools to help you in the short-term and deeper healing/trauma work.

Hi! My name is Jamie, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who graduated from Columbia’s School of Social Work and I am looking to support you in being your fullest and truest self. My clients would describe me as warm, affirming, fun, and passionate. I never claim to be the expert in your life, but if you allow me the privilege of being let in, I promise to help you reach for the goals that seem hard to accomplish alone.

Perhaps you are looking for a fulfilling life, but you’re struggling with feeling broken or incomplete because you aren't a mother. Maybe you’re bogged down with the weight of society's pressure to have children. You crave purpose and connection with others, but maybe you struggle to express your pain. You are tired of receiving unsolicited advice and questions about your reproductive system. This leaves you wondering: Is there life beyond motherhood?

Maybe you woke up today & said, "shit, I really need to find a therapist." Maybe you've said that many mornings. You know that your past affects you, but you aren’t sure how. It leaks into different areas of your life - work, relationships, self-esteem... and it’s exhausting. You find yourself repeating the same cycles and wanting to stop, but yet you keep doing spinning. Maybe you feel stretched thin, overextending yourself to please yourself or others. You want to feel more at peace, to have better relationships, and to understand more about yourself. However, self-help podcasts and books have only taken you so far...

I am a licensed clinical social worker working with adults (18 years+) managing life transitions, relationship challenges (family, friends, partners, coworkers), general and acute anxiety, depression, struggles with self-esteem and body image, and coping with the stressors of college (both undergraduate and graduate levels, both academic and non-academic related). I have experience working in the health care field, including discussing grief/loss, living with a chronic illness, being a caregiver, receiving a life changing diagnosis, and being familiar with what it's like to work in a health care setting.

I specialize in working with millennials, people in creative or non-traditional careers, and the LGBTQ+ community. Clients often come to me because they realize they've gotten stuck somewhere along the way. Often clients are ready for change but need support figuring out where to begin. We work together to build a relationship grounded in trust and authenticity, so you can feel safe to explore and experiment with new ways of relating to yourself and others.
