Hablamos español / Do you want to be understood or understand yourself? Do you want to be heard or for someone to at least be empathetic to your situation and feelings? Do you want to learn how to manage your emotions and cope with daily life, family, relationships, work, kids, school, current issues, past issues, future issues, and such? We are here to guide you through your process as you find the peace and the strength to move forward certain that you have what it takes to make your life beautiful and amazing.

You’re lying in bed and it starts - endless thoughts of what there is to do and what hasn’t been done, what is going wrong or what could go wrong, memories, exciting new ideas, old conversations, thoughts of how to ‘fix’ your sleep/anxiety/mood/organization/relationships/life. Your busy mind can be exhausting yet that is exactly the problem; you just can’t seem to disengage enough to fully relax, enjoy, or possibly even sleep. And all of that thinking does not seem to improve the way you live day-to-day anyway. This is a frustrating paradox when you are trying to reach your fullest potential but it feels just out of reach.

Are you ready to feel more serene, peaceful, and connected? Are you on your healing path, seeking support to reach your potential? If so, I can help you recognize your strengths and to move forward, all the while working together in an atmosphere of acceptance and kindness. This helps you to grow on many levels - mind, body and spirit. I have 30+ years experience as a psychologist, author and professional speaker. I work people with trauma/childhood abuse, eating disorders, addiction and many other concerns. If I can't help, chances are I know someone who can.

Have you been wanting to make meaningful changes in your life but feel hesitant to start therapy? I know how courageous making this move is, and provide a relaxed, supportive atmosphere as you explore your emotional life. I partner with you to identify your goals for personal growth. Together we create a safe space for you to clarify patterns of behavior and thinking that may be bogging you down. We can look at repeated sources of disappointment or dissatisfaction so that you can grow away from them and into a more vibrant relation to yourself, others, and the world.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have someone by your side, offering warmth and understanding as you navigate life's challenges and transitions? With over 15 years of experience, I have dedicated myself to being that supportive presence for individuals like you. My passion lies in assisting a diverse range of populations, including those struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, and other neuro-diversities. Understanding the importance of inclusivity, I am committed to being gender-affirming and neuro-diverse affirming in my approach.

I am here to bring support to those who are in need of a safe, sound space. From physical health to emotional and spiritual wellness and balance, I act as a ‘soundboard’, a ‘guide’, an ‘advocate’ and experienced Integrative Psychotherapist to bring you a clear and peaceful path of healing, balance and growth. If you’re struggling with disordered eating patterns, anxiety and/or day to day stressors or if you’re feeling good and want a space ‘to call your own’, where you can think, talk and gain feedback, please reach out. Therapy is a wonderful tool for all matters and I provide a virtual space where you can explore and process.

I have over 30 years of expertise in working with clients of all ages and with a variety of issues. My goal is to teach you how to get in touch with your innate ability to heal yourself. Once you become centered in your core self you will develop coping skills that will provide you with the ability to handle the multitude of challenges that we all face in our lives.

Finding a therapist you can connect with can be overwhelming and feel like a daunting process. In a world that has conditioned you to live an unconscious life, self-reflection and building your intuition is an act of rebellion. You may struggle to find meaning, balance, & peace within the chaos of living. Life inherently involves suffering, and sometimes navigating relationship issues, big life transitions, traumas, or just daily stress can get overwhelming and confusing. The choice to go to therapy is a radical act of self-care, bravery, and accountability.

I specialize in working with adults who are overwhelmed, stressed, or feeling lost and disoriented. If you’re here, you have taken a powerful step towards finding the balance, clarity, and resilience you deserve. You are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, uncover your true potential and are seeking guidance toward a more authentic life. You need to find the right support to fit your needs. We use a collaborative approach rooted in empowerment to provide support and tools for navigating challenging times.

I believe in the power of consistent support and structure to guide clients on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. We're plugged into a fast paced world where we are bombarded with issues when we have responsibilities of our own. We go to war with our emotions and thoughts which makes it hard to tend to what excites us. When our minds are constantly running, it can feel impossible to be engaged in the present moment let alone dig deeper. I place a strong emphasis on emotional processing, anxiety management, and the exploration of feelings related to dependency and fear of loneliness.

Compassion, curiosity and consideration are at the center of my work. I offer an affirming, person-centered and non-judgmental space in which to collaborate with you on your pathway to growth, healing and understanding. I work with all individuals across the lifespan, however I have a particular passion for assisting adolescents and young adults to find empowerment, strengthen self-advocacy and develop self-understanding. My approach is centered in my values including creating a safe space for vulnerability, honoring your strengths and meeting you where you are in life.

Are you struggling to let go of past hurt or are you stuck in the same patterns? Are you struggling to move forward from a past relationship? Do you keep choosing the wrong partner, but you don’t know why? Are you feeling single and ashamed? Are you feeling alone in your pain? Is shame, anger, low self-esteem, resentment, sadness or anxiety holding you back? Do you notice that you’re engaging in the same maladaptive behaviors as your parents? Do you want to better understand who you are and why you cannot break your patterns? Do you need new tools to help you cope with the challenges of life? Allow us the opportunity to support you

As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” I believe that every individual has within themselves the resources they need to take actions towards creating the changes that will align with their values and purpose. Being a bicultural individual, I am able to see things from two different perspectives, which helps me remain open and adaptable to various personal values and ways of life. I pride myself on my ability to create a space where you would feel comfortable and understood to express your concerns and emotions freely.

Navigating life in your 20s, 30s, or 40s entails more than just external changes—it's about finding clarity in your life direction, "shedding the shoulds," cultivating self-awareness, and prioritizing self-care amidst the hustle and bustle. As an integrative therapist, I provide a nurturing space guiding you towards a deeper understanding of yourself and your aspirations. Whether you're grappling with career burnout, codependent relationships, or the relentless pursuit of perfection, I'm here to support you. It's time to empower yourself to put your well-being first, embrace your authenticity, and thrive amidst these transitions.

Buddhism teaches us that change is a fundamental truth of the healing process. I love to support people negotiating change and life transitions. Change is undoubtedly hard, and anxiety, depression and grief often accompany it. Fortunately, so does new growth. I specialize in attachment and relationships and believe they are the foundation of our ability to heal. I support people through separation and divorce, perinatal and postpartum adjustment, parenting and co-parenting, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma and racial identity development. As we heal our relationship with self, we show up more fully in relationship with others
