Are you struggling with worries, anxiety, self doubt, depression, or stress? The wisdom of a holistic based therapy might be for you. As an experienced psychologist, I’ve helped numerous clients from pre-adolescents to adults in dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma, loneliness, depression, grief and relational issues. As a meditation/yoga teacher, I blend psychology with various mind-body therapies to assist clients in gaining holistic tools for managing the tough times. Treatment typically begins with traditional psychotherapy but can also include integrative therapies (meditation & breathwork & brainspotting.

As a therapist, I strive to provide an accepting, safe space where you can bring your authentic self for exploration. We will work together by addressing your identified goals while bringing to light barriers that are hindering progress.

We will also focus on building tools for self regulation so you can feel more empowered within yourself.

If your child struggles with peers, attention, school, or mood/ anxiety, I can provide a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment to help you learn what is going on and what next steps to take. This assessment answers questions related to concerns for ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, or medical conditions. The goal is to figure out how to best support your child! In some cases, your child may already have an IEP or 504, but you feel they are not getting all the support they need or you do not understand the results. In these cases, a comprehensive evaluation may help.

Tired of the same patterns keeping you stuck in life? Maybe it’s anxiety or stress: feeling overwhelmed or like life is out of control. Or maybe it’s in your relationships: “giving” far more than you “get” and feeling constantly disconnected. Perhaps it’s trauma: a painful past experience that continues to affect you, despite your efforts to move forward. At Modern Sessions, we specialize in helping teens, couples, & adults experience deep healing and long-lasting relief. That means going beyond just “talking” and helping you brain and body actually heal themselves using methods like EMDR, Brainspotting, and more.

I tailor my treatment to the specific needs of each client. I work at establishing a therapeutic alliance so that clients become more able to observe, assess and reflect on their emotions and symptoms, gaining awareness to their true feelings. Results are achieved in a collaberative atmosphere of emotional safety, trust and unconditional acceptance that leads to understanding and healing. Changes brought about by this treatment are not meant to be temporary, but tend to be permanent. I work with adults, adolescents and couples who seek to resolve conflicts, stop repetitive dysfunctional patterns and develop deep emotional connections.

As a millenial, you’re likely feeling the heightened pressure of adulthood weighing on your shoulders as you decide what’s next. Maybe you’ve just transitioned into a role as a parent, and you’re dealing with the anxiety & uncertainty that brings. Maybe you recognize that while your parents did their best, some harmful patterns have affected your worldview. Decisions about what career opportunities to pursue are likely at the forefront of your mind, as is wondering if you’re falling short or falling behind your friends. Or maybe you’re questioning the faith you were brought up in and deciding whether it aligns with who you are now.
