Many of us go through life pushing aside or losing touch with our feelings and needs. Strategies we once used to cope and survive have now become unsustainable and can prevent us from moving forward. This is when we need to reach out for help and support. My clients often struggle with unresolved childhood pain and trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, depression, or just feel stuck. I will help you learn new strategies for living so that you can move forward in the direction of healing, growth, and deeper self-compassion.

The work that we do includes developing a relationship in which you feel safe and supported by me, as many previous clients have noticed.
Have you tried counseling before and found it didn't help? In my experience, traditional, or talk therapy, has limitations. Many people struggle with relationships, self-esteem, depression and/or anxiety. I have found that these issues are rooted in the "small t" traumas experienced earlier in life, and the resulting beliefs we have about ourselves, such as I'm not good enough, I have to be perfect or I'm not safe. Our nervous systems get overloaded so that we are in a near constant state of fight, flight or freeze. We live with negative self talk, which feels normal, but isn't. These symptoms lead to depression and anxiety.

I so value building a solid relationship with my clients, in which we work toward goals together, so we are real collaborators in their therapy experience.
I enjoy working with adults who have an interest in addressing mental health issues, including struggles with addictions. I also love to work with young people, ages 11 to 17. It is very rewarding to work toward a goal with a client and assist them in realizing their full potential. I have been fortunate to work with many types of individuals, such as those who want to deal with short-term or long-term problems. I am also bilingual in Spanish. Often people come to therapy because they want to solve an issue they have been struggling with for a long time, or sometimes it is something urgent that just suddenly arises.

Often it can feel worse when it's difficult to find someone who understands and can help you through it, making the stress continue to weigh you down and placing you in cycle that feels all too much.

With increased understanding of ourselves and our experiences comes an enhanced ability to intentionally navigate the world and live a more fulfilling life. Taking a dynamic approach to therapy, I work most effectively with clients who want to increase their understanding of why they do what they do, and how past relationships (both with themselves and others) affect current behavior, concerns, and "stuck points". It is with this new understanding that they can change patterns that are no longer working for them.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
