You may be feeling stuck, discouraged, angry or depressed about your life or relationships. Maybe there's a medical condition with emotional effects on you or others. Your family life or parenting situation may be difficult. Maybe you're having trouble with co-workers or siblings. Or you may have just lost your way and don't know where you are going or how to get there ... wherever "there" might be. Whether you believe we choose our own circumstances, that there is a "master plan," or that sometimes SHTUFF happens, you still have reactions, feelings, and decisions to make about "what next?" I can help.

I also have specialized experience with life span issues-emerging adulthood and adult children of aging parents, as well as with couples who are in business together.

This unique blend of experiences has enriched my perspective on life, allowing me to appreciate the resilience individuals display in the face of adversity.

I help my clients work through anxiety, overwhelm, lack of clarity, work/life balance, perfectionism, self-sabotage, self-criticism, fear of failure, procrastination, self-image, body image, food or sexuality concerns, and help couples to improve communication, connection, and heal from infidelity.

Therapy can help you sort through and understand the challenges you're facing, and identify solutions that work for you. With the proper support, things can get better.

Since the start of the pandemic, so many of us have come to crossroads in our lives. When in isolation we have been forced to look closely at the relationships we value, the activities we enjoy, and what we wish to change.

In our work together, I want to provide you with a warm, thoughtful, socioculturally-attuned, and collaborative environment.

Sometimes it's good to know a few things about your potential therapist. This might be helpful. I am: Queer. A single mother. Serbian. Ask if you would like to know anything else. Over the last few years, I've noticed a big shift in the mental health world. Clients are seeking out their wildness, yearning for desire, playfulness, meaning. They are connecting with elements of their identities that have been denied. They are choosing themselves above the comfort of others. This is exciting to me. The therapy room can be a place to notice, practice, and fortify this work.
