As an Integrative Therapist, Energy Medicine Practitioner & Spiritual Life Coach, I combine talk therapy with somatic & energy-based services, to provide a balanced therapeutic approach to assisting you with mental, emotional and spiritual challenges that can present as anxiety, fear-based thinking, over-analyzing, self-criticalness, depression, codependency, low self-esteem and other trauma-based symptoms. At times, the process of therapy can feel scary, but as you take steps to identify beliefs & narratives that no longer serve you; recondition your mind and shift into embodiment; you will reclaim your power & discover healing.

Are today’s stressful social relational pressures causing you undue stress? Are you finding it increasingly difficult to communicate with your partner, your child or friends? Are you needing to find a safe supportive environment to work through your emotions? As a Doctor and current Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as Licensed Addiction Counselor, I work with couples, groups or individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, substance abuse, or parenting issues.

Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Depression make life feel confusing, overwhelming and out of control. Together we will discover what is contributing to the problem and what will bring you back to peace and happiness, even if it's for the first time. I believe life challenges us to grow, and feeling stuck, struggling with emotions or communication, or feeling out of sync creates the will to improve. So whether you feel confused, anxious, sad, fearful, or angry about your life and your relationships, I can teach you the tools needed so you can finally feel the peace that comes with knowing your self and living your most authentic life.

We are not meant to live life in isolation. We innately crave deep meaningful relationships. I believe in helping people build healthy, deep lasting relationships and friendships. However, sometimes life happens. Attachment wounds surface. Trauma occurs. Life Transitions are inevitable. Depression and anxiety take over. These things keep us from enjoying the people and things we love. I take a holistic, evidenced based approach looking at past and present issues, as well as your emotional, physical, spiritual and mental state. I enjoy helping individuals overcome deep shame, insecurities and fears that they are not good enough.

Congratulations for having the courage to search for help navigating your emotional life. I am a licensed clinical social worker who works with a variety of clients dealing with emotional and relational challenges. Some are dealing with anxiety and depression that they don't completely understand. Others are having relationship problems with a significant other or family members. Many of the clients I work with have addiction issues which serve to temporarily cover up the pain or emptiness they are feeling. Talking to someone can help you get perspective and feel empowered to deal with overwhelming problems and emotions.

Hello, and a very warm welcome to you! Thank you for considering me for your mental health counseling needs. I look forward to meeting you and in collaboratively developing a positive therapeutic experience to assist you on your journey toward healing, self-discovery, self-actualization, and mental health wellness. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I have experience in working with adolescents, adults, and older adults. I have provided assessment and treatment for a number of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders, cognitive disorders, and the like.

Maybe society has told you that you are different, weird, or wrong. Perhaps you have developed a critical inner voice that tells you that you aren’t good enough. Shame can make you feel unworthy of the love and respect you deserve. Together, I believe we can overcome that shame and work towards self-love and empowerment. I am passionate about working with transgender and gender-nonconforming folks, individuals who work in the sex work industry, and folks who are struggling with all types of trauma. All identities are welcome and honored in the therapy space with me.

Are you tired of feeling misunderstood, alone and overwhelmed? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything, only to still struggle? Emotions, trauma and relationship stress can leave us feeling defeated and hopeless. My clients include children and adults overwhelmed by emotions, trauma responses, and/or dealing with relationship wounds (e.g., parenting stressors, infidelity, communication breakdown). We work together so you feel truly heard, seen, and understood. Your goals matter and we take intentional actions so therapy feels productive, helpful and meaningful to your desired journey.

You deserve to have space to explore different parts of who you are- without shame and stigma. Together, we can cultivate tools that are the best fit for you and your relationships. In my practice, I take a compassionate yet direct, non-judgmental approach. Overall, I hope to help you explore your relationship dynamics, patterns of behavior, and emotions to help you work through the places you feel "stuck". I use trauma-informed therapies Brainspotting, somatic psychotherapy, internal family systems , and work from a feminist, intersectional lens.

IS THE STRESS OF THE WORLD GETTING YOU DOWN? ARE YOU TIRED OF FIGHTING WITH YOUR INNER CRITIC - Would you prefer to feel calmer and have clarity around what to do next. I use a combination of Internal Family Systems ( IFS ) Therapy, Mind-Body Medicine, Somatic IFS , Polyvagal Theory, and Hypnotic Coaching to help you understand and make changes.

Collaboratively, we focus on healing, resilience, and reconnection. Feeling ashamed is scary and overwhelming. These feelings are more common than we admit and stem from a variety of factors. It makes sense to respond to unpleasant emotions by burying, avoiding, or resisting. If unprocessed, these beliefs impact our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and lives--leaving us repeating painful patterns and shaping our perceptions and relationships with ourselves, others, and the world.

I am a seasoned and dedicated family child therapist. I have been working with families and children since 1978. My goal is to provide help, hope, and healing to children and their families through play therapy. I specialize in children ages 2-12 but also work with older children. I build and strengthen relationships in the family system.

My great passion is bringing healing to people experiencing trauma or life stressors. I help my clients, who include adults, couples, and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can transition to a healthier, happier lifestyle. Sessions involve tailoring an effective, solution-oriented approach to help you identify and achieve your goals through developing new skills and a deeper understanding of the patterns affecting your life. My clients appreciate my warmth, connection, and humor. Adept at understanding and utilizing various forms of psychotherapy, I tailor sessions to the particular needs of each client.

I love to work with clients who are looking for support to work through trauma, addiction, and mental health symptom management. Anxiety, depression, and PTSD are some of the main mental health issues I work with. I am a collaborative, person-centered, solution-focused therapist which means that I will work as hard as you will to make changes in your life to help you feel your best.

I have a passion for working with people struggling with a variety of issues, including dysfunctional behavior rooted in shame, including addiction, self-loathing, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and grief and loss. I believe people are incredibly resilient, but know that we all go through struggles and sometimes we need additional support.

"Unprecedented" "Pandemic" "New Normal" Masks and COVID were uncommon terms prior to the past year. None of us could have imagined the significant changes and loss ahead of us as 2020 launched. Persons of all ages and communities are struggling with financial, occupational, educational and especially social challenges. While it appears the pandemic will be here with us for quite a while longer, we may feel like we've lost control of our own lives. We can; however, prevent long-term psychological damage. KidStuff Counseling, P.C. can help you support your children, family and self through these difficult days.

My initial session is at no cost. I am a Neurodivergent therapist. I have ADHD, combined type so I understand the gravity of finding the right clinician for your specific needs. You deserve to receive unconditional positive regard. You deserve to be heard. You deserve therapy that meets your specific goals. I heavily subscribe to the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy framework, but pull from several different approaches to meet my clients where they are and support them in the ways they deem important. It is not my place to tell you what you need -- I believe you already know and I am simply a guide along your journey.
