Do you feel like issues from your past are making it so you can't connect with others? Our brains are wired for connection, but trauma rewires them for protection. When we are stuck in protection mode it prevents us from connecting with others and puts us at risk for further hurt. When this happens we may feel broken and stuck repeating patterns that hurt our relationships. Together we will work towards healing and discovering how to connect in a healthy safe way. I specialize in trauma, sexual intimacy after trauma, attachment, relationship concerns, couples, social anxiety, and career issues/life transitions

There are times in everyone's lives when counseling can play an important role in working through life's challenges. At times we are faced with circumstances which can be overwhelming or paralyzing. During these times counseling can benefit individual, couples or families as they work to clarify the issues and create a roadmap towards healing. The relationship between client and therapist is the most important element in successful therapy. Therapy is a process where you are safe to explore your values, dreams, and realities, learning to create balance so that you can work towards achieving your goals.

Having fulfilling and functional relationships with the people we love is vital to us—and yet that can be so challenging to achieve. We can often find ourselves stuck in old familiar ways of interacting and remain in a cycle of disconnection from the ones we love most. I work with my clients to interrupt this cycle of disconnection and dissatisfaction and create new patterns of interaction. We won’t just be talking about the issues you’re facing as a couple—we’ll bring the dynamics into the room and practice changing the patterns in real-time. I work with monogamous and non-monogamous folks of all genders and sexual orientations.

Are you constantly comparing yourself to others & finding yourself coming up short? Have you become burned out by working a job that pays a salary far lower than your skill set is worth? Are you pressured to count every calorie, try every new diet, & over-exercise to punish yourself for enjoying a meal?

Therapy can help everyone, not just those with a "diagnosis." In everyday life, challenges are thrown at us that we can't always work out on our own. I help people process these challenges as they occur. Death of a loved one, relationship issues, work stressors, life transitions, etc - can be upsetting, distracting and decrease overall happiness and quality of life. Evidence has shown that people who have an unbiased, safe space to process these events move through them more quickly, gain clarity, improve productivity and ultimately thrive in their lives.

Therapy can offer hope during times of depression or anxiety, when dealing with past or current trauma, or when making major life changes. It can also help you to respond thoughtfully and creatively rather than anxiously or destructively.

We'll work together to identify strengths you can use when making important life changes and, to build coping skills to navigate difficult emotions, trust and relationship issues, and old beliefs you might have about yourself.
