"I believe each of us can benefit from therapy as a space to grapple with life’s difficulties. My ideal client is anyone who is motivated to explore their relationship with themselves and others. I work with adults to address relationship issues, adjustment to life transitions, identity, stress, anxiety, as well as eating and body image concerns. I enjoy working with those who identify as members of the LGBTQIA+ community, immigrants and first-generation Americans, and high-achieving graduate students and professionals alike. I also have experience working with those managing physical health conditions and their caregivers."

"Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with and trust can be difficult. Past or current stressors may be causing you to feel stuck, depressed, or anxious. You may be facing problems relating to work, relationships, mood, or self-esteem. As your therapist, I will work with you to explore these issues, set goals, and make changes necessary to help you live a more balanced and stable life. You are the expert of your own life but I hope that, together, I can provide you with the warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment needed to build trust and collaboration."

"Hello and thanks for visiting! I am a psychotherapist and clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience in the healthcare, mental health and substance abuse field. I personally believe the most important factor in successful therapy is building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. I practice primarily from a relational approach, however I have experience with and draw from a wide range of contemporary psychodynamic theories. I utilize various techniques when appropriate, including mindfulness, focusing, meditation, cognitive behavioral and motivational interviewing techniques. I also utilize relapse prevention & harm reduction when working with substance abuse & addiction."

"My approach to psychotherapy is flexible and based on respect, commitment and evidence-based practices. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology, and my education includes a formal component of Neuroanatomy, Neuropathology, Neuroassessment, and Neurorehabilitation courses and practices.

"Change is never easy,but with the assistance of a therapist, you can start to learn skills to move towards your goals.

"I have worked in many different contexts of practice, from inpatient psychiatric care to outpatient substance use with many diverse communities including the LGBTQ community, those living with HIV/AIDS, youth and families, racial/ethnic minorities, and persons entering and leaving the federal prison system. I utilize motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy in order to provide a safe and supportive place for clients to create change.

"You feel disconnected from others – or worse, yourself. You’re overwhelmed and crave calmness, connection. You may feel stuck and desire change but don’t know how to make a move. You’re not sure how to manage what you’re feeling or thinking, and it’s too much to carry on your own. You find it difficult to connect to the world around you. You carry shame and/or self-doubt. Maybe you don’t feel you fit in or are having difficulty finding your voice, your community, or your life’s work. Perhaps you’re curious about your creativity or spirituality and are seeking ways to integrate these aspects into your daily life. "

I also encourage premarital counseling. One often used approach is cognitive behavioral, which shifts thoughts and impulses from automatic to rational. Considering the cultural context of your history and relationships is essential."

"I help people with a critical inner voice develop acceptance and compassion for themselves. My specialities include trauma, anxiety, depression, codependency, finding life/work balance, and providing LGBTQ+ affirming services. I've worked with many folks who grew up with alcoholism or substance abuse in the home, parents who fought often, and those who felt like they had to walk on egg shells. I've also worked with folks who have family members with addiction, those who identify as people pleasers, and those struggling to have fulfilling relationships. I'm especially passionate about helping other helpers, activists, and educators."

"We cannot run from who we are, but we can better understand how our past experiences and family connections play a role in our current functioning. This improved understanding can enhance how we respond to situations and how we interact with others personally and professionally. What is holding you back?"

"The ideal client is prepared for a new journey and experience. Clients who work with me soon realize that their strength and freedom comes from within. They feel liberated from their emotional constrains and fears. Through therapy, my clients discover that "They" are the creators and drivers of their own lives. They experience emotional freedom that, in turn brings more balance in their lives. Clients achieve stress relief, improve their self-esteem and self-concept, and experience increased levels of satisfaction in their relationships. They experience an increased ability to work out conflicts in a constructive way."

Prepare for facing directly your stress and symptoms, recognizing internal versus external struggles, holding yourself accountable toward healthy choices for your body, and understanding stories you carry. Our work will return you toward the motivating force inside you. "
