I use specific CBT and Mindfulness skills to help my clients reduce symptoms and feel better soon.

You've been hurt. Whether it is a hurt that happened years ago, has built over time, or was sudden and abrupt - the distress has interrupted your life intolerably. Now you're exhausted and don't want to feel the way you do any more. You like an interactive approach with therapy that gently pushes you to stretch your capabilities while maintaining a safe, judgment free, and grounded environment. You don't want to feel isolated and alone in the trenches - whether reproductive trauma or life trauma - you want someone to walk through it with you.

These feelings aren’t going away. Ignoring your own needs has led you to a place of overwhelming anxiety and depression. Your thoughts are clouded, and you are always preoccupied. Dealing with the emotional pain of anxiety and depression can leave you feeling isolated, anxious, and lost. Whether you are experiencing a recent life transition or are still struggling with past trauma, I am here to support you through this challenging time.

Wouldn't it be nice to be in the presence of an authentic, genuine person that has the capacity to listen deeply to your unique concerns and facilitate an experience of being understood? -- A person that welcomes you as a unique individual and has the capacity to work with you in a collaborative and creative manner. I am experienced in creating the kind of relationship that allows you to feel comfortable and safe with just being yourself. Grounded with this intention, we co-create the space and trust required for improving the quality of your life and wellness.

I’m a neurodivergent therapist with a focus on dysfunctional childhood upbringings, survivors of toxic parents and/or relationships, PTSD, autism, anxiety and depression. I’m interested in the traumas left unspoken that affect your current day life. They may have been dismissed or not validated as trauma. I’m a certified clinical trauma provider, trained in many evidence-based practices. Proud to be in the mental health field since 2012 working in hospitals, community mental health centers, residential homes, inpatient programs, addiction treatment centers and a career center.

Are you having trouble managing stress? Is stress causing you to be irritable, short-tempered, distracted, or anxious? Does your life feel out of control due to traumatic stress, grief, or loss? Maybe you are struggling to get by and reaching too often for unhealthy ways of coping? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone.

Accepting new clients! These are very stressful times. People are anxious, not sleeping well, finding it hard to cope, overeating, or turning to other not-so-healthy habits. Therapy, support, hypnosis and coaching CAN help! So can learning to take better care of yourself (including getting enough sleep!) and improving your coping skills. And hypnotherapy can help shift habits and patterns that don't serve you. Please Note: I no longer work with trauma, PTSD, and chronic pain.

It's a joy, passion, and privilege doing this work. Over the past 20 years, I've practiced in school settings, community mental health, managed care, VA hospitals, university counseling centers, and private practice. My clinical interests are in fear, stress, depression, and suicide; creativity and the expressive arts; issues of intimacy and vulnerability in relationships; and issues of culture, identity, and liberation - especially regarding race, gender, sexuality, and spirituality. My specialized training (20 years) is in Buddhist psychology, trauma-informed creative art therapy, and exposure therapy for anxiety and trauma.

My clients find validation in having a provider who understands and acknowledges the difficulties that arise from experiencing marginalization. I have been in the field for over 20 years and have found that my skills are most effective in working with people who hold marginalized identities as well as community activists. With our rapidly changing and shifting world it is important to have a provider that acknowledges the times we are living in to support those of us most affected by these changes. Many of us are struggling to navigate the vast changes in the world around us in addition to typical day to day concerns.

I work with clients with a wide range of concerns and identities including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, relationship issues, neurodiversity (ADHD and Autism), and other developmental disabilities, vocational stress, chronic illness, women’s issues, infertility and disability-related work and school-place barriers. I have experience working with individuals from historically underrepresented underserved communities, international clients, interracial couples and families, women, immigrants/refugees as well as the LGBTQIA+ community.

Are you stressed out, overwhelmed, struggling in relationships, and unsure what to do next? You wonder, "where do I go from here.” You want something better for yourself but don't know what to do or how to get there. I work with adults who are struggling with substances, or in recovery, and their families to manage stress, control their emotions, and find purpose & peace. Trying to navigate the waters of recovery alone can be a recipe for disaster; at worst it means relapse, at best it means a life of being restless, irritable, and discontent.

I believe that even in the most difficult times, there are opportunities to learn about your inner self and develop new perspective that can lead to finding joy and fulfillment in life. I have experience working with adults of all ages who struggle with addiction, depression, anxiety and past trauma. Personal experience with being a caregiver and supporting someone with a chronic illness. My clients are looking for a quiet and safe environment to share and explore their life experi
