Elysian Counseling believes it is essential to work through past traumas and to look at how community and family systems develop identity and, at times, may perpetuate behaviors that keep people in a cycle of self-defeat, poor choices, and a feeling of being stuck. We use an integrative approach with a look at the root causes of the issues you may be experiencing. Together we build a safe and strong therapeutic alliance, and explore techniques tailored to your needs and goals to achieve optimum wellness.

Today you are one step closer to a path towards growth and well-being. As a cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT), we will explore your thoughts and emotions to help you discover your true potential. In therapy, we will create better ways to understand and resolve challenges in your life. We will identify long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life. I look forward to providing you support and guidance to achieve your goals. I can be reached by telephone or email for individual, couples or family therapy.

I use a gentle psychodynamic approach to work together through unresolved issues, repetitive patterns, and crises. I work with clients facing the trauma of misplacement, domestic abuse, bullying, self-harm and eating disorders. I especially love working with immigrants who are navigating cultural, emotional, and economic adjustments. I have experience working with college students and young adults, struggling with anxiety, depression, life transition, and relationship issues. Free associations, dream analysis, art, and play are some of the ways I help my clients express themselves.

I enjoy working with individuals who are willing to explore change within their lives to support growth and wellbeing. I look beyond the diagnosis and treat each of my clients with empathy, compassion, and kindness. I am a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), trained in trauma processing techniques which allows my clients to integrate past life experience into current life perspective increasing self-worth, empowerment, resiliency, and strength.

This is my 24th year as a private psychotherapist. I specialize in the treatment of emotional/behavioral issues. I treat children, adolescents, and adults.

Do you find yourself constantly feeling anxious and spending a lot of time overthinking? Are you struggling in your career or relationships? Maybe you don't feel good enough and identify as an over-achiever? Are you going through a big life change or loss, and feeling completely overwhelmed? You’re not alone. I am passionate about working with adults with anxiety, self-esteem and major life changes. My belief is that our relationship with ourselves deeply effects how we navigate day to day stressors and major life transitions. You are your biggest asset.

My greatest passion is sitting with individuals as they become enlightened, unburdened & encouraged through the power of talk therapy. I consider it a privilege when anyone shares their life challenges with me in pursuit of support and guidance. External conditions may not change but through counseling, one's perspective and responses can change, leading to improved mental health. Struggles & pressures in life do not have to dictate or determine your identity or emotions but they can be used to produce growth and realization of personal strengths & potentials as we all have the ability to change.

I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Psychotherapist that provides each of my clients with a highly-individualized, curated, holistic experience that is goal-oriented. I utilize different modalities that encompass art therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and meditation. I have experience working with a diverse caseload of clients that include children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. Each client is unique and therefore, my treatment methodology for each client I serve, is unique.

Joy of life is always accompanied by pain, and there are times that you feel beaten and defeated. Psychological symptoms can surface and compromise your happiness and functioning during these struggles. Therapy can help you to stay on the right track or find the right directions to minimize unnecessary sufferings.

For years It has been my privilege to work with women of all ages navigating life transitions and hardships such as separations, troubled relationships (with a partner, family or friends, or one's body), navigating the roller coaster of motherhood, or experiencing a loss. Regardless of our experiences, beliefs, or social circumstances, we all fight the silent and lonely battles of not feeling we are enough. As women, we are often subjected to conflicting and competing expectations about love, sex, parenting, work, and relationships. In the face of such imposing outside opinions, it is essential to check in with yourself:

While trained in evidence-based treatment techniques, my work is ever informed by and in full respect for the mind, body, and spirit of each client. As you consider the sometimes intimidating but always promising and courageous step of entering therapy, I welcome the opportunity to help you find the relief and change you are seeking.

I work with clients of all backgrounds and problem types. I especially like working with people who are committed to changing their circumstances and behaviors. I am very experienced in treating anxiety disorders, depression, bi-polar disorder.

The goal of therapy is not only to resolve a conflict or find an answer but to make a connection. I believe that the client drives the car of therapy while the therapist is in the passenger seat ensuring the ride is comfortable, the music is right and hazards or incomplete bridges are avoided. The brain and body should be aligned; therapy does just that. There does not always need to be a problem to go to therapy, the same way a car can use an oil change or detail before a long drive. It is hard to deal with emotional issues on your own, but more difficult to address and face them in therapy or even ask for help.

As a licensed counselor, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment that allows you to grow. By prioritizing the therapeutic relationship, I hope to extend warmth and compassion that will allow you to lean into vulnerability and heal. Body image, self-concept & values clarification are passions of mine. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families looking to gain deeper insight into relationship dynamics, attachment style, nervous system regulation & self-exploration. I work most naturally through a feminist & existential lens while knowing there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

There are times in our lives when we may feel as though we are just going through the motions. Past experiences, perhaps dating back to childhood, could show up in a variety of ways in your adult life. Sometimes you may realize that there could be a connection between your past affecting the present but you are not quite sure how. You may be experiencing a variety of overwhelming emotions, some of which could be contributing to anxiety, depression or showing up in your interpersonal relationships. This may have created the potential opportunity for you to begin your healing process. It is my intention to assist you in this journey.

Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving. Feeling depressed, anxious, or simply not yourself, can be an overwhelming experience. You might be feeling unhappy, unmotivated or maybe just "stuck". You might be having ruminating thoughts that make it hard to see things clearly and move forward in life. I am here to help you reconnect to yourself, to your personal goals and values, all the things that make you a unique individual (you!). I'm here to support you, explore your thoughts and emotions, sort through the difficulties you are dealing with, and gain insight and tools to navigate your life.
