Are you searching for therapy where you feel seen, emotionally connected, comfortable and safe? Do you sometimes struggle to understand your emotional responses? Do you sometimes feel hijacked by intense responses? Are you having trouble in your relationships and other important areas of life? Trauma may be at the root of it. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Provider and am trained extensively with issues of PTSD, CPTSD (childhood and chronic trauma), Narcissistic Abuse, infidelity/betrayal (attachment traumas), traumatic grief, and emotional abuse. Trauma and adverse life events leading to intense stress is my specialization.

I’m a Couples Therapist and Individual Therapist as well as the Co-founder of The Wellness Collective Therapy Group. In therapy, I utilize evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Neuroscience. Through a collaborative approach, I work with clients to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. Together, we explore thoughts and feelings surrounding sex and relationships, while ensuring a supportive environment for growth.

Have you experienced trauma? Feeling stuck and hopeless after infidelity? Looking for freedom from anxiety? I'm here to help you summon the courage to face your concerns, to provide a safe place where you can work through them at your own pace, and for you to experience the happiness, wholeness and healing that comes out of that process. I work with a broad range of issues including anxiety, depression and grief, however my speciality is working with anything trauma related. I work with individuals, couples and groups. I would encourage you to visit my website for more information about me and my work.

Changes in relationships and life circumstances can bring about challenging feelings. I see folx for individual, couples, and sex therapy to help people navigate: high couples conflict, communication issues, trauma, anxiety, avoidance, trust issues, shame, infidelity/betrayal, desire discrepancy, erectile dysfunction, sexual avoidance and more. My clients usually begin therapy feeling stuck and fed up of where they are and are looking to learn, change, and transition to a place where they are satisfied in their relationships and have greater clarity, confidence, and peace within themselves.

I have discovered that a sense of belonging, security, and peace is found within our being. I am a certified Focusing-Oriented psychotherapist with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and a specialization in Medical Family Therapy. I work with an integrative psycho-spiritual approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, and Contemplative Spirituality, to access the innate wisdom of the body-mind-spirit to heal. If you are suffering from family-of-origin issues, trauma, betrayal, depression, anxiety, illness, physical pain, or an inability to feel connected, I can help.

Do you struggle to feel arousal or pleasure during sex? Have you lost the sexual spark and excitement in your relationship? Do you struggle with desires, thoughts, and behaviors that you feel as though you can’t share with others for fear of shame, stigma, ignorance, or violence? Have you struggled to understand yourself as a sexual being due to stigmatizing beliefs and messages? Navigating the nuances of relationships, sex, sexual health, sexual identity, and gender identity can be difficult and exhausting on its own. Through open-minded, compassionate, and culturally competent care, I am committed to help you meet your goals.

For 22 years I have been helping people solve challenges in life and to find the power and abilities that have been inside them all along.

Couples, Older Adults, Adults. Please call to schedule a free phone consultation. Are you feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, or have you simply found yourself wanting more from your life? People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, and this seeking is often the first brave step toward living into a sense of greater possibility and deeper relationships! I view therapy first and foremost as a relationship that arises from a conversation. That conversation can be transformative and healing, can take many forms, and is an act of co-creation between you and me.

Working with the thoughts and feelings you're holding on the inside really can help loosen their grip on you. I help people manage things like stress, anxiety, depression, ferocious inner critics and the effects of trauma-- whether recent or experienced earlier in life. We'll focus on finding you some symptom relief in addition to deeper understanding and healing in an open, accepting place for self-exploration and growth.

I love my work. I love to hear people’s stories about what makes them feel alive and what inspires them. I love helping people to feel more connected to their environment and trusting of themselves in the process. What fascinates me about the healing process in psychotherapy is reflecting upon the vulnerable, groundless mystery of the human journey and the endless revelations of the unguarded heart. The focus of my work is on the unique story and experience of each individual. My approach can differ in some ways from standard talk therapy.

Sometimes people see counseling/coaching as a process that could be negative: trying to decipher & share feelings, opening up old wounds, resistance to change. It’s uncomfortable and uncertain to delve deep into these areas of our life. We all want to live “our best lives”. We strive to be financially secure, take care of our physical health through diet & exercise, see the benefit of being social and doing fun things, attempt to engage in meaningful relationships, seek spirituality and a sense of transcendence. But we fail in many of these pursuits when we don't understand our own inner-workings.

My practice includes working with couples/relationships, parent-child, families, adolescents (13+), and individuals. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and identities. In a world brimming with endless distractions and disconnection, it’s completely natural to feel a bit overwhelmed and purposeless. At times like these, seeking therapy can be a wonderful opportunity to take a breather and carve out a nurturing space to reconnect with your own needs, your relationships, and your family.
