I provide individual and group psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. My work with children is specific to gender identity. My clinical work is focused on eating disorders, gender identity, LGBTQQ+ concerns, multicultural counseling, survivors of sexualized violence and trauma. I work with clients through a social justice and holistic health lens that emphasizes the inseparable connection between our mind, body, and environment. My approach to therapy is strength-based and client centered rooted in cultural humility. I incorporate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other evidence-based techniques depending upon the goals of each client.

Throughout life, it is possible to find ourselves on a journey we believe is impossible to complete. Through therapy, we learn that no journey is impossible; however sometimes we must detour...delay...revisit...or speed up! This analogy speaks to the true essence of therapy, helping others to navigate obstacles that present themselves along their journey. I will partner with you to find your path to a healthy existence despite any detours you encounter.

I believe therapy is a collaborative relationship that is specifically tailored to support the unique needs of each individual. I utilize a myriad of evidence based therapeutic interventions for those suffering from Trauma & PTSD, Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Survivors of Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence, and Borderline Personality Disorder in a safe and welcoming environment.

At this time, you may be struggling with problems in relationships, family, work, or conflicts within yourself. Being so close to the problem, it can be difficult to find the solutions. I believe therapy is an extremely effective process for finding these solutions and creating a fulfilling and satisfying life for yourself. As your therapist, I can guide you to identify patterns of behavior, feelings, and attitudes that are self-defeating or standing in your way. I can help you access your inner wisdom, strengths, and resources that will facilitate the changes you seek.

I have over 20 years of experience successfully assisting my clients in overcoming internal and external stressors and dysfunction that prevent their overall well-being. These stressors can be situational or life-long struggles, and experienced in interpersonal relationships, in work settings, as mood and or/anxiety disorders, or manifested in issues of self-esteem and self-confidence. I work most often from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and insight-oriented approaches, understanding that every client is wonderfully unique and will respond differently to a variety of eclectic methodologies. We work together to determine the optimal approach to treatment.

During my clinical experience as a therapist I have had the opportunity to work with many different populations of people, often walking alongside them while experiencing a range of life circumstances. People experiencing the lowest of lows while others having found peace in forgiveness of the past. One of the most impressive characteristics that many of the brave people I have met share is that of perseverance. My desire is to encourage perseverance in the face of difficulty which fosters wisdom and maturity within our therapeutic relationship, while gathering new and more sustainable coping skills for continued stability.

As your therapist, my job is to support you to get through whatever obstacles life throws your way, help you map out your journey to overcome those obstacles, and take that journey with you. "We will either find a way or make one" -Anibal Barca

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and psychological testing services to adults, adolescents, children, and couples. I have a special interest in working with mood disorders, anxiety/trauma/stress disorders, adjustment issues, ADHD, behavioral/school issues, learning disabilities, family conflict, race/gender issues, grief/loss therapy, abuse, domestic violence, custody/forensic issues, psychosis, and marital/couples issues.

I serve adult individuals who are looking for caring support as well as to improve their lives and reach their goals. Whether you are struggling with a change in life circumstances, a mental health concern, a loss, trauma, abuse, or just need someone who can provide an objective perspective I am here to help. I believe everyone has the ability and strength to make the changes they want in their lives, but they may need someone to guide that process and offer the necessary tools.

As a therapist, it is my privilege to guide you in this process of healing and exploring the vast potential that lies within you. Whether you are healing from a past trauma, trying to make a difficult life decision, or need a little help finding yourself again, I will be there to guide you to what already lies within you.

My approach to therapy is depth-oriented. While I do not believe that insight in and of itself is curative, I do believe it’s a necessary first step in the healing process. Once we gain insight into the roots of our problems, we can begin to respond intentionally when in a state of emotional flashback rather than automatically reacting with fight, flight, freeze or fawn. I believe in the power of truly feeling through our emotions and in creating a safe space for my clients to do just that. I believe the therapeutic alliance should be one that fosters self-discovery and healing in a safe, nonjudgmental, empathic environment.

Counseling is a process in which a counselor and client work together in a professional relationship to resolve concerns or issues that the client is experiencing and chooses to bring to sessions. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship is purely client driven as you (the client) are the expert in your life. My theoretical orientation is diverse, I blend "Reality, Adlerian, Cognitive-Behavior, Gestalt and Client-Centered" therapy approaches to help clients maximize their self-awareness. I work closely with clients to assist them in increasing their positive thoughts/images in effort to promote efficiency in their overall thinking, coping and behavioral patterns.

Are you at a crossroads in your life? Has the trust in your relationship been compromised? Have life circumstances brought on, seemingly, irreparable challenges? If so, you have come to the right place. Whether you are looking to be proactive, for relationship maintenance, or are in the midst of a merciless storm, I will help you navigate through these challenges with a restored sense of hope. I do individual, marriage, relationship, & family counseling. I believe that with client's determination & a strength-based approach, we all have the capacity for transformation, healing, and restoration.

As a therapist, I am privileged to be in the role of facilitator of change. But, the actual expert and change-maker in your life is you. A person-centered approach is the pillar of my practice. I am here to empower you to make the changes you want to see. I know anyone who walks into my office or steps onto my screen has already walked through one of the most difficult steps in therapy - the beginning. I admire you taking this step and thank you for allowing me along for the journey. I am confident working together we can figure anything out.

Are you feeling worried all the time, gripped by sadness, or experiencing pandemic-related stress? Or perhaps navigating change and adversity against the backdrop of these unprecedented times? It is natural for intense feelings such as worry, depression, numbness, or panic to result. Sometimes, difficulties trigger changes in our behaviors and interests, or in our relationship to others or to ourselves. Whatever is bringing you to seek help, I want you to know that with the right support, things can feel manageable again. With skilled and culturally-sensitive understanding, you can move forward with greater confidence.
