I help highly-sensitive women learn how to self-heal trauma & navigate their life-path, through embodiment. Are you a deep feeler + thinker? Recovering perfectionist ...people-pleaser ...performer? Always both "too much" + "not enough"? Did you experience a lot of emotional neglect as a child? Struggle in relationship to self + others over the years? Still somewhat stuck & confused ...frustrated ...exhausted by "old stuff"? Going through (another) dark night of the soul? Together, we will unwind old survival patterns and co-create new ways forward. If you're looking for a fresh body-mind-spirit approach, let's connect.

I offer virtual psychotherapy sessions for individuals (adults, teens 16+) and couples , in addition to therapeutic coaching and LLPC Clinical Supervision.
I love working with people who are looking to elevate and change their lives. The ideal client is anyone who seeks to become a more capable and confident version of themselves. As a psychotherapist, I assist in the building of healthy self-esteem and self-worth, thus, assisting in the cultivation of positive relationships, whether intrapersonal (with self), romantic, or familial. I believe that change starts with our thoughts, and once we change our thoughts our behaviors will follow suit.

Therapy is a two-way street; it's an opportunity for two individuals to connect and learn from each other, and a chance to see the world through someone else's eyes. I am of the firm belief that both client and therapist can benefit from the genuine connection that is formed from session to session. This can apply no matter your race, orientation, age, or background. My goal is to help you accomplish your own goals, whether that be navigating a situation or relationship that is impacting your day-to-day experiences, or gaining a deeper level of insight into your own thoughts and actions.

Therapy should be deeply personal and focused on true psychological change: at the heart of meaningful psychotherapy is a meaningful relationship .
Choose the therapist, not the therapy. Quality mental health care is a real, human exchange; an opportunity to explore, strengthen, and change aspects of who you are. When psychotherapy is effective, the therapist and patient are creating openings, not closures. This is what heals.

Many of us experience problems in living from time to time, as we manage our intimate relationships, careers, children, financial burdens etc…. Often times, these problems can lead to feeling poorly about oneself or even to feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. Sometimes, these problems reach a magnitude where our level of distress or ability to function is affected. At these times, it can be very helpful to talk to a professional who can provide insight, support and perspective on these difficult issues. Although your issues may seem unmanageable to you now, with the right help, these problems can be overcome.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
