Has trauma, anxiety, or depression interfered with the potential to become the best version of yourself? We often feel defined by traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences then often leave us feeling stuck in place rather than moving forward towards our goals. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space for you to develop an understanding of yourself to overcome past experiences or fears that define you. Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common concerns around- if these kinds of things are affecting your ability to meet your personal goals or simply enjoy your life, you're not alone.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

If you have struggled with anxiety, depression, feel like you're stuck in a rut and want to change from unhelpful patterns of thinking or behavior, you have come to the right place.

Change can happen for you and it is never too late to start again.

-behavioral approach with adults, children and teens, whose behavior or thought patterns have been stifling and need help to build awareness of triggers and develop coping skills to manage daily distress.
Your overall wellness extends beyond your physical health and, by taking this first step to find a therapist, you are showing yourself love and compassion. Thank you for making your emotional and mental well-being a priority. Change takes time, is difficult, and can be scary but is ultimately, liberating and transformative. When we make changes in our lives, we open ourselves up to growth and new possibilities.

Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, MFT
Verified
I utilize a collaborative, strength-based and integrative approach, incorporating elements of psychodynamic, feminist,
cognitive
behavioral therapies and mindfulness techniques.
Along the journey of life we encounter many challenges, transitions, and unexpected circumstances. Sometimes we handle these bumps and detours with ease and grace, and others we experience overwhelming sadness, pain, loss, and anger. Other times we feel stuck and dissatisfied, but too crippled by fear to move forward. It is my belief that hidden among these dark and difficult times, lie beautiful gifts of insight and possibility. Psychotherapy is a tool that can assist you in confronting the discomfort to open the door to a lifetime of satisfaction and joy.

Marriage & Family Therapist

Welcome! Covid-19 has been particularly hard on our children and teens– and we’ve seen high levels of isolation, depression and anxiety among our youth this year. I’m here to help. Children and teens have so much to say– yet they’re still building skills to effectively express their needs, feelings and thoughts. So, child and adolescent therapy looks very different than traditional adult therapy. I love finding ways to help each child and teen express and grow– ways that work specifically for them. I combine various approaches, including person-centered, attachment-based, and
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy oriented models.

I use evidence-based practices such as
CBT
, TF-
CBT
, EMDR, EFT in treatment.
I have always been inquisitive by nature, and in particular, fascinated by the study of human behavior. Why do we do the things we do? What influences our thoughts and behaviors on both individualistic and collective levels? For me, being a therapist is like putting together the pieces of a puzzle, understanding how the pieces fit together and why. As a psychotherapist, I am of the belief that a strong therapeutic alliance, the human connection between therapist and client, and the sanctity of the space it creates, are integral to facilitating healing and growth throughout the therapeutic process.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments.
