Looking for a therapist can be daunting, especially if you are seeking support for the first time. You may feel pressure to know “what kind” of therapy will be best for you or feel anxiety about what actually happens inside a therapy session. I give the same advice to every friend and client who asks: choose your therapist based largely on the connection you feel when you meet them. Do you feel listened to? Do they speak to you in a way that helps you to understand yourself better?

At Center for Transformational Psychotherapy we are committed to the real possibility of happiness for every human being, regardless of individual background and circumstance. We work from a shared perspective that transformation occurs by developing a relationship with awareness, which includes and ultimately goes beyond the limitations of conventional ego psychology. Within this shared perspective we offer a wide range of therapeutic techniques and will work with you to find the therapist who best meets your needs.

Are you struggling with feeling stuck, or anxious and overwhelmed by daily life, or the pressures of a changing world? I am here to provide compassionate guidance to help you navigate through stress, confusion and transitions, so that you can overcome challenges on your own terms. Together, we can work to understand what is happening in order to empower you with specific tools and resources. I will help to expand your perspective to improve your well-being and quality of life. You don't have to carry the weight of your struggles alone. With support, we can find a clearer path forward.

On the outside, it appears you have it all together. You have an ideal life with a great job, a good marriage and a lot of friends. But something is off. On the inside, you feel alone: no one knows the burdens you carry. You have tried everything you know to do, but still feel depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. You're terrified of the moment when everyone figures out you are a fraud. You know on paper you have a good life, and you're confused why you don't feel happy. You have come to the right place. Therapy can help you resolve those internal thoughts, feelings and stuck points that no one else sees.

I specialize in working with teenage and young women. This is a complicated time in life where insecurities and anxieties can start to become more pronounced. I thoroughly enjoy working with young women and helping them to find empowerment and clarity to move on to their next phase of life. I am also an EMDR therapist for those who can benefit from full resolution from traumatic experiences.

I work with individual adult and adolescent clients to heal symptoms such as depression, anxiety, addictions, body image issues, somatic pain or illness, suicidal ideation, parent- child related difficulties, and attachment-based wounding. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems, a non-pathologizing approach to healing trauma, I help clients to align with their internal resource for healing, get to know the true meaning of their symptoms, and unburden the pain they carry. Clients report feeling greater connectedness, expanded perspective on their lives and compassion for themselves and others around them following treatment.

I offer holistic, heart-centered therapy and focus on the mind-body connection. I will support you as you navigate life’s struggles, deepen your inner resources, and develop tools to embrace a rich and meaningful life. I bring attunement, warmth, and curiosity to my work, and I believe that we are all capable of growth. It is an honor to hear your story and bear witness to your experience.

In the darkest night of unimaginable pain and grief, one hand to hold, one heart to listen, can be all that's needed to make it until the sun rises again. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship and setting that is a living sanctuary for the heart and soul. When I sought therapy during a very difficult time in my life, my therapist allowed me to bring my 5 month old son to sessions with me. As a new mother, this support was invaluable to me at that time in my life. I hope to offer similar support to mothers, birthing people, and primary caregivers and others who are in need.

It takes courage to address pain, childhood wounds, traumas and unresolved beliefs and patterns which negatively impact relationships, emotions, goals, motivation and sense of self. I deeply believe in one's innate knowledge and capacity to heal, and aspire toward wholeness. I teach simple tools and practices, in addition to supporting you on your journey. This empowers your vision, your heart, and your perception of the world around you, creating healthier relationships and increased joy. My practice includes: relationship issues, depression, trauma, addiction, family conflict, grief, life changes and children's behavioral issues.
