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.

It is important to establish an open and respectful environment so that client needs and strengths are both understood. Working together we can clarify your needs and goals at this time in your life. Depending on your needs we can use ideas and techniques from a number of different approaches. We might focus on understanding feelings about relationships in your life, look at how ideas and beliefs affect your problems, focus on making decisions to help you with problem solving, look at past and current struggles as part of understanding your life path or "life story", or specific ways to cope with intense feelings and thoughts.

The toughest part about therapy is showing up. To continue to show up for yourself might be even tougher. If therapy were easy, everyone would do it. Taking that first step for yourself, is the most powerful thing that you can do and you should give yourself all the credit for being able to do it.

Feeling stuck? Wishing for change? Fear of the future? We go through struggles that test our ability to find joy and experience pleasure. It is often our relationships with friends, family and especially our partners that take the brunt of these taxing times. It is common that our intimate relationships get tagged as the reason for our hurt and pain or are the most negatively impacted. Blame can drive a wedge and damage intimacy. Ironically, it is within our intimate relationships that we find the majority of our most meaningful experiences. Experiences that result in feeling that joy and pleasure we so desperately desire.

Hi, I'm Damaris! My practice focuses on helping you learn how to connect with yourself and your emotions, cultivate self-compassion, and embrace more honesty and acceptance in your life. My areas of focus include working with adults navigating life transitions in their 20s and 30s. I am passionate about the people who experience fatigue from their high, unmet expectations. The people who struggle to disconnect their self-worth from what they do. The people who feel paralyzed by fear of failure or criticism. Perfectionism is a common thread in many of our lives, whether we’ve realized it or not.

Everyone needs and deserves compassion, kindness, and to feel felt. This can be a challenge for many people. My intention is to help people heal with validation, support, and with no judgment. Our minds can be a very busy, exhausting, and intrusive place. I work with clients to help them feel empowered as they learn to manage their thoughts and emotions to feel more comfortable in their daily life.

As unique individuals, our life journeys take us through many wonderful and unpleasant experiences. Our experiences can result in feelings of displeasure, depression, anxiety, and stress that can impact us individually and our relationships with others. Talk therapy is a non-judgmental atmosphere that can help you express your thoughts and feelings in a welcoming and safe environment. Therapy can help individuals look more closely at the repetitive patterns in their feelings and behaviors and learn through reflection, self-discovery, insight, and how to re-frame and rebuild their lives positively.

Life can feel overwhelming and confusing when we are met with expectations that do not align with authentic self. I believe positive and effective change can happen once we become more confident and empowered within ourselves. I work with individuals to feel confident to make effective change within their life in order meet their personal and therapeutic goals. I primarily work individuals with disrupted attachments related to childhood trauma, and sexual trauma; in addition to depression, anxiety, OCD (specifically related to Relationships, Contamination, and Perfectionism), and Borderline Personality Disorder.
