Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I am a Certified Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist with EMDRIA. EMDR accesses the brain's innate ability to overcome the obstacles of past trauma. I understand how past traumas can lend to people feeling "stuck," and can contribute to a great many symptoms and problematic behaviors. I work with people from age five and up, to help overcome challenges, particularly those which are compounded by past traumas. I am ready to help you to learn new tools to overcome your current and past challenges and to move toward future peace and ease.

Together, we will focus on your strengths, prior successes, and your future hopes and wishes. I will provide empathic support, coping tools and strategies to promote change, so you can reach your goals and live the life that you wish to live!

Very few people know what is really going on in your life and just how stuck you feel. It has gotten to the point where you no longer recognize yourself and have no idea how you got here. Maybe you feel like everything in your life, including yourself is out of control or that getting out of bed takes all your energy before your day has even started. Maybe you are flooded with unwanted memories from the past and you have turned to drugs or alcohol to cope. You’re exhausted and know that life cannot continue like this anymore. You are looking for a change, and are searching for support. I can help!

You're uncomfortable, and despite your best efforts, it simply will not go away on its own. Your feelings are worthy of acknowledgment and often it feels like those around you couldn't possibly understand. When our external self does such an excellent job of masking how we feel inside, it's difficult to know where to start.

Hey there! Are you looking for a therapist who is a CUPCAKE among muffins? You're in the right place. I believe that successful therapy begins with a good relationship with your therapist. My priority is to ensure a safe and comfortable space where my clients feel they can be truly heard while being free from both pressure and judgement. I understand that everyone is unique, and I will tailor treatment accordingly to meet you where you are at on your therapeutic journey. Therapy can be a challenge, but there's no reason it can't be fun as well. I come from a film and art background and incorporate my creativity into my therapy.

I enjoy working with folks who need support in managing a wide variety of issues from self-esteem and identity concerns to the stress of dealing with multiple roles, relationships, and life demands (as students, partners, friends, parents, new professionals, family members, community activists, etc.) My clinical interests include multicultural and women's issues, racial/ethnic identity development (especially among biracial/multi-racial/ethnic/cultural individuals), sexual and gender identity development, adjustment and transition issues, and building healthy relationships through assertive communication and positive self-esteem.

Sometimes with life’s challenges, people can get “stuck” in vicious cycles. If you are here, it means you are taking the steps to break this cycle. I value that the client does most of the talking & my role is to be an active and nonjudgmental listener. I often jump in and challenge the client when appropriate and I actively teach new skills and tools.

Are you facing a difficult time and feeling a bit lost or stuck? You may not be fully satisfied with your current situation. Are you open to change? Therapy has been a life-changing experience for many people grappling with similar issues, and it could be for you, too! Each person's journey is unique, and I would be grateful to walk alongside you on this path. There is always a way forward, and I can help you find the clarity you seek. Let me assist you. Don't hesitate to reach out and take the first step towards a brighter future, where a happier version of yourself is waiting.

All the little things add up and sometimes it feels like you're drowning in petty things; creating stress, overwhelm, and panic. Other times it makes you want to shut down and shut everything out. You believe you should be able to handle all these little things because each thing isn't really that big; and yet, you feel weak and disappointed in yourself that these "little things" are tripping you up. I'm here to tell you that you don't have to live a life of "death by a thousand cuts." Your response is normal. It's a normal response to a crazy amount of tiny things, but it's not helping. You need new tools and strategies to heal.

It takes a lot of courage to seek help with life's challenges. I have experience helping clients navigate family conflict, anxiety and depression, performance issues in school and work, self-esteem, trauma, gender, sexuality, race, culture, and life transitions. While we can’t change difficult situations and traumas of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve them. We can also focus our work on navigating the challenges of today. Together, we will work to create attainable goals and develop adaptive skills that will positively impact areas of your life.

I love you, but I don't really get you; I hear this pretty often in the healthiest of relationships, and even more so in intercultural or interfaith ones. I know firsthand how wonderful and rewarding it is–and, at times, how painful and challenging. Maybe you’ve asked each other: “How do we connect again, now that we have kids? What’s changed and why is it affecting our sex life? Are we on the same page about my family? How important is this to you?” Being in love doesn't just take work. It takes understanding and acceptance. It takes holding each other and ourselves accountable for our own growth. Let's relearn each other.

You can't remember the last time you felt truly connected to your partner. You're hiding behind "busy" because your efforts to have meaningful connection and communication always turn into an argument or a misunderstanding, so why bother? Maybe you've experienced a betrayal like an emotional or physical affair. There's pain and hurt feelings and resentment between you, and you don't know how to mend the damage. You're feeling helpless, hopeless, and exhausted.

I believe that therapy is a powerful force in dealing with the emotions and difficulties that arise in daily life. It is my belief that in order for therapy to be effective, there must be trust between the client and therapist. Drawing heavily on humanistic theory, I utilize a collaborative, integrative approach to psychotherapy. I use strengths-based interventions to develop a strong therapeutic relationship and assist clients in the process of healing. I have training in the treatment of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance use/abuse, self-esteem issues, and trauma-related symptoms in adolescents, adults, and veterans.

My hope is that the safe and supportive environment I seek to create will be a place where you can openly process difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. When you work with me in therapy, I will assist you in finding the tools and skills needed to live your life more effectively. I know that the challenges you may be facing right now can feel really big and overwhelming and I am here to sit with you in your pain and to help you make positive changes in your life, in part by accessing the wisdom and strength you already hold within.
