Engaging in therapy is an act of bravery and self-love. I have immediate in person, telehealth, & weekend availability. I offer a safe and sex positive place where you will feel seen and heard. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental and gently direct. I work with clients who may be healing from trauma, experiencing grief and loss, exploring their identity, or grappling with anxiety.

If you suffer from awful panic attacks, I'll give you strategies to tolerate and manage them so you can stop canceling plans at the last minute and gain control over your anxiety

Hello and welcome to Dragonfly Counseling Center. If you are looking for trauma-informed counselors to work through some things you are dealing with in your life, you have come to the right place. We are a group of humanistic counselors who specialize in trauma, childhood trauma, grief, loss, and attachment, We listen to what our client's specific needs are and build a treatment plan using the modality that best fits you. Building a supportive relationship with your therapist is key. Research shows that building a relationship with unconditional positive regard helps aid in the healing process as well as attachment.

I am passionate about providing evidence-based, compassionate care to teens+young adults (ages 12-25) and families. I have worked with a wide variety of clients facing identity questions, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, adjustment challenges, etc. and create a treatment plan based on each client's unique needs. In our work together, you will learn coping+relaxation skills, deepen your self-compassion, build strength+confidence, and progress towards your personal goals.

My approach to therapeutic work comes out of radical love for humans and their healing. Therapy is a place to build strong relationships through authentic connection. When people are able to be fully seen as who they are, in their truth, we can start to think about changes and tap into our personal wisdom; our bodies, minds, and spirits have wisdom that I hope we will find in our work together. As a therapist, I show up as myself and hope to encourage my clients to show up as who they are and connect on that level. I approach my work aligned with my core values: connection, compassion, curiosity, creativity, and community.

Everyone has the innate capacity to grow through difficulties and my goal is to support and empower you to connect to your inherent inner resources. I work with adults struggling with life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, self esteem, divorce, stress, and behavioral addictions such as porn and shopping. I believe that growth occurs through caring, compassion and learning to reconnect with the wisdom of your body. We will build on your strengths and shed the negative messages of dominant systems. We will discover what you really care about to establish loving connections to yourself and others.

Hello, My approach is based in being present with you and incorporating different approaches based on you. Some of the main approaches I use are mindfulness and somatic awareness, neuroscience, Internal Family Systems, and the exploration of attachment and relationships, in culture, family, friends and yourself. My intention in our work is to offer you a space of presence and inquiry to support you in your goals and to move toward a greater sense of wellness and balance in your life and in your relationships.

I wish to serve people of color and other marginalized groups who have experienced chronic oppression and injustices. I would love to work with individuals, couples and families who are ready to step into their power and reclaim their voice. I wish to serve those who are in need of healing and need assistance processing grief, loss, frustration and exhaustion from life's trials and adversities. Being a person of color poses many challenges in this country and seeking help from professionals who look or talk nothing like you makes it far more difficult. I see you and I'm here for you.

Changes and transitions in our lives can provide opportunities for growth and insight. My approach is tailored to each client's need- whether you have a specific goal or are simply in need of a supportive space. Everyone has inherent strength that can be drawn upon. Our work together will center around diminishing the struggles that you feel and increasing your enjoyment of life.

As a clinical therapist, I help people who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression and loss. I teach my clients to practice what I call "the reverse golden rule": treat yourself as you would treat others! We are often so critical of ourselves, while with a friend we would be kind, supportive, compassionate. My 20+ years of experience have given me the tools to work using an eclectic approach that I tailor to each client. I offer a comfortable, safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, where you can feel heard, understood and validated.

Restoring balance and healing our self-limiting beliefs really is possible. Often, our life stressors point to where we need to heal. I am passionate about working with adults who are motivated for that change. I work with Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and other therapies to treat anxiety/depression, grief and loss, PTSD, past traumas or current triggers, interpersonal conflict, attachment differences and more.

I work with adults and adolescents ages 16 and up who are navigating various life events and circumstances including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, panic, PTSD, navigating chronic illnesses like cancer and the effects of oppression from sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia. In therapy, I work with clients to create a space to deeply explore their unique personal experience and how they carry that experience with them as they navigate relationships with themselves, with others, and with the world. I work to support clients in finding more bearable ways to carry the pain of traumatic experiences and create meaning.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step towards investing in your well-being. I hope to hear from you. Human experiences such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, family of origin issues, relational issues, trauma, abuse, and neglect can often lead to feelings of being stuck, social isolation, struggles with meaning making and spirituality, unmet needs, lack of self-awareness, incongruence, and hopelessness. Counseling can be an amazing resource in such times because we all deserve to be heard and seen in a safe place.

In our sessions, we will collaborate to create customized goals and a plan to achieve them. By addressing today's obstacles, you'll emerge better equipped to handle future challenges.

We all experience great changes during our lives, evolutions in identity, shifts in how we see ourselves and how others see us. I specialize in helping people grow in the wake of significant life events and changes. Through reflection and dialogue we can understand and make meaning of our journey.

Making the decision to seek therapy is a powerful moment in your life, and finding the right therapist is the next step on that path. I see my role as a partner and witness in your exploration of what being a whole person means to you. Anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues or a general feeling of being "stuck" are just some of the possible issues that might bring you to therapy. Regardless of the reason you may choose to work with me, you can expect to find a place of acceptance in which to share your authentic self.

I believe the most valuable service I can provide to my clients is creating a safe space where they feel comfortable to express themselves and be acknowledged. My aim is to foster an atmosphere of trust and unconditional positive regard. My primary objective in working with clients is to support and validate their feelings, helping them feel bolstered and recognized. Many clients seek my help to improve their quality of life, and I firmly believe that therapy can facilitate this. While it may require effort, a better state of well-being is definitely attainable!
