A Psychedelic Integration Specialist, my practice focuses primarily on Harm Reduction and Integration of Non-ordinary States of Consciousness. With the philosophy of Compassion-based Awareness, I hope to assist you in understanding your Self so that you can experience the ups and downs of life with more ease and empowerment. Together, we can explore the change that is seeking you, identify ways of being and/or barriers that hold you back from living your imagined life. A wise being once said "Life is full of suffering, it is our relationship to that suffering that causes more suffering."

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who specializes in co-occurring (mental health and substance abuse) disorders. I have been practicing for several years and believe in treating clients with mental health and/or substance abuse issues from a holistic approach. While medicine management can be a crucial aspect of treatment, I believe, to aid healing one must consider the human as a whole.

Therapy can seem different or intimidating at times, but it doesn’t have to be. My aim is to create a thoughtful connection and help reduce any apprehensions by maintaining a relaxed demeanor, displaying genuine interest, and continually striving for authenticity. The process of therapy can help individuals or couples become unstuck. We all experience patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Gaining insight into these patterns helps us discover where change is necessary. Enacting change is always up to the individual or couple, but my goal is to help you get there to take charge.

I work with children, adolescents and adults addressing clinical conditions and life problems throughout individual, family and couple therapy (i.e., depression, anxiety, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorders; and domestic violence, child abuse, divorce, co-parenting and adoption).
I love the work I do, although it involves dealing with people's painful life events and dynamics. I strongly believe in change. I am privileged because daily I witness our human capacity for healing and growth. My ideal client is the one ready to face truth, find hope and strength to change his or her life circumstances. My style, training, and professional experience emphasize understanding culture, working in the context of family and community, completing treatment goals, developing prevention plans and understanding our individual and family histories (short and long term treatment according to family or individual's needs).

Can I just start with this? I am so impressed that you are reaching out so that you can heal. This is a step that many people struggle with and it needs to be honored. Trauma effects every aspect of our lives in obvious and often hidden ways. And maybe you've come to the realization that going through the motions, avoiding the pain, and trying to appear "normal" and "fine" just isn't working anymore. You're tired of your past traumas and experiences affecting your marriage, your ability to parent, your job, your relationships, and just your day to day life. You want peace. You want joy. You want the freedom to just live your life.

Grief Therapy - You’re heartbroken and devastated about your loved one’s death. Everything reminds you of them, like the places you used to go together. It’s been hard to think about anything else. Their absence makes it hard to concentrate, organize your day, and remember where you put your keys. Your friends don’t know what to say and people appear awkward around you. They constantly say, “I’m so sorry for your loss,” and you’re sick of hearing it. You feel alone and on the outside of the rest of the world. It’s hard to imagine ever feeling differently than you feel right now.

You've decided to divorce and the feelings of fear, resentment and anger are overwhelming.
You're disappointed in your marriage and in your partner. Your vows meant something to you. For many years, you sucked it up and hoped things would get better. Now you wonder, why did I stay for so long? If you question how you've been living your life, and how things could have gone so wrong, then you've come to the right place.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
