Sometimes life gets complicated. Fortunately, you're not alone. At the Center for Collaborative Family Therapy, treatment is tailored to meet your specific needs, whether you're struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, or whether you're struggling with problems in your relationships. Interpersonal problems are often at the root of psychological symptoms. Even children's difficulties are best addressed with those who care for them. It's not easy asking for help, but that first step can make all the difference. Please note that I do not take insurance.

Many of the adults I see are ready to process trauma, unlearn habits that no longer serve them, or better connect with themselves. And if you're here, you're ready too.
My clients come in feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, emotionally disconnected, or simply tired of carrying things alone. Some are exploring identity, navigating relationships, or adjusting to major life changes.
The couples I see are navigating big changes or finally addressing the little issues that keep coming up.
Whatever it is you're tackling today, I offer a warm, grounded presence where you can just be.

As a psychotherapist I commit myself to supporting individuals and couples in their relationship, healthy intimacy, mind/body connection, depression, anxiety, and managing life with balance. I incorporate foundational health (diet, exercise, meditation, journaling) into my work with each client and seek to help each person develop inner resources for healing, and holistic health.

Hi, I’m CJ. I work with people who are suffering in some way: those who may feel anxious, disconnected, stuck, depressed, or overwhelmed. Many are longing for something more: greater self-understanding, stronger relationships, and a place where they feel seen. Therapy can help you explore and develop new understandings of yourself and your experiences, and empower you to create change in your life—whether that be in your relationship with yourself, with others, or with the world at large.

At my core, I am curious about relationships: how they have shaped us, how we feel in them, how we can grow and feel better in them even after years of struggle. As adults, we often reach a point where we realize that the strategies we used to make it safely through earlier parts of our lives have run their course, leaving us feeling stuck or disconnected or just unhappy. Whether you arrive on your own or in a relationship of any type, I work to build an accepting and invigorating space for you to explore and experience ways of being that are in greater alignment with your core sense of self.

Many of the people I work with appear highly functioning on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected.
You may find yourself overthinking, struggling to slow down, feeling responsible for everyone else, or repeating dynamics that no longer serve you. Sometimes insight alone is not enough to create change, especially when old experiences and relational patterns continue to shape how you move through the world.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
