Therapy can feel broad and overwhelming. To simplify our approach, we'll seek acceptance and control of adversities that seem to dictate your life. Whatever stressors weigh on you, we'll troubleshoot what hasn't been working and process new tools to put in place. It is my responsibility to adapt to your preferences and ways of learning. I'll provide a space for you that can range from open discussion and exploration, to structured activities and weekly goals. Additionally, these steps are flexible and can be done in a matter of time that fits what you hope to achieve. All possible with individual, couples, and/or family therapy.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes you strive toward something meaningful even though it's not easy. Other times we struggle with what blocks us from a satisfying life - grief or depression, anxiety or trauma. What if you could refocus energy from uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and, instead, pour it into pursuing a meaningful life? More time with family. Enriching a loving relationship. Chasing a career goal. Improving yourself. I believe we can lose ourselves in struggles that take us away from healthy living. But you can aim for a way to deal with internal difficulties and engage in purposeful living. I'd like to help.

My philosophy of counseling is to shape the work I do around the needs, goals, and overall direction that you want to address.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in growth-oriented counseling with adults & couples. My clients typically work to increase awareness of their present life patterns which lead to various forms of emotional distress. This pain often causes significant disruption in their social, work, physical lives or intimate relationships. Early life experiences influence how we all experience our lives today. Insights and associations during talk therapy often bring previously unseen dynamics to light leading to healthier choices and increased fulfillment. Sessions take place weekly over the course of many months or more for lasting growth.

At some point in life most of us experience feeling lost, frustrated, sad, or anxious. When it gets to the point where you feel immobile or stuck, that's when counseling can be helpful. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore feelings and thoughts that keep you bogged down. I can help you develop new coping strategies so when you're faced with difficult challenges, you have the tools to overcome them. Whether your needs are short or long term, I firmly believe that counseling can improve the quality of your life.

People decide to begin therapy for a variety of reasons. Many have had damaging experiences that they are unable to put behind them. Some feel stuck or make the same mistakes over and over and are unsure why. Others have chronic feelings of low self-worth. Others suffer from excessive worry or panic attacks.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of young adults and young professionals. I love working with others to find or create their own meaning and identity. Often this requires working on the issues that get in the way, like anxiety, depression, grief, or stress. Whether through a desire to change circumstances, improve self-compassion, or develop better relationships with important people, forming or changing your sense of self will be one of the most important experiences of your life.

Emotions can really suck and as we age we grow to have difficulty expressing and feeling them. An "affect phobia." In other words, we develop difficulty interacting, expressing, and feeling our emotions. This presents in a number of different methods; laughing when uncomfortable, lack of eye contact, verbal outbursts, restlessness, and many other ways. I help patients recognize the means used to relate to themselves and others to experience feelings and resolve unconscious conflicts. The goal being an elimination of depression, anxiety, and trauma responses in the shortest time possible.

My primary service is long-term existential-holistic psychotherapy. I employ a non-pathologizing approach to assist middle-aged individuals who experience an existential crisis, grappling with feelings of anxiety, stagnation, isolation, or inadequacy in creating meaningful connections with the world around them

Feeling stuck and can't figure out why? Maybe you have noticed patterns that are getting in the way. You might react too quickly, getting angry and loud, and then feeling guilt or shame afterwards. Perhaps, you find yourself going blank in different situations where you don't know what to say and feel like shutting down. Maybe you might want connection with people, but it might be hard to trust and put yourself out there. Even knowing these patterns doesn't make it easy to figure out what to do. Our body is wired to keep us safe and sometimes these patterns develop after trauma as ways of trying to help us.

I offer Somatic Experiencing (SE) sessions. Do you struggle with the effects of trauma, stress, neglect or injury? Feeling overwhelmed by issues of social justice and the environment? Living with and talking about these things can cause strong reactions in our bodies that deserve their own approach, in addition to psychotherapy. We want to feel comfortable in our skin - able to rest, feel a sense of belonging and confidently stand up for ourselves and others in a balanced way. SE helps clients navigate painful emotions and memories as the related physical sensations gently become more differentiated and take on new meanings.

One of the hardest things is to reach out for help and be vulnerable. I am hoping that we will be able to make that journey together. If you are struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, seeking gender affirming care please consider me. My own personal journey has brought me to become a therapist. It has provided a unique perspective that sets myself apart from other professionals due to my personal experience with gender and sexual identity. As a person who identifies as part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community myself, I am proud to specialize in LGBTQ+ affirmative treatment.

I offer insightful counseling in a welcoming, judgement free space. I specialize in couples therapy, relationship issues, and helping individuals cope with and overcome symptoms of anxiety and depression. I focus on the whole person, knowing no one is simply the sum of their symptoms.

Psychotherapy is a process of slowing down and working together to understand what has been troubling you. The type of therapy I practice is grounded in making sense of how past relationships, experiences, and identities are impacting you in the here and now. The patient-therapist relationship becomes our primary source for understanding your patterns in other relationships and I strive to create a therapy relationship that fosters curiosity, vulnerability, and growth.

I use both traditional talk therapy and the creative process to help clients express feelings and heal issues related to anxiety, depression, appropriate coping techniques, self-esteem, emotional organization, and trauma. I encourage clients to challenge their long held beliefs and feelings about themselves that are, in fact, untrue. Through this type of work you will begin to get in touch with your potential and your true nature.
