Feeling overwhelmed? Is the anxiety or depression you feel getting the best of you? You find yourself worrying so much, stuck in the past or the future. You struggle to focus on your work and duties, can’t get enough sleep, feel on edge, and waste all that time doom scrolling and not knowing how to get out of the “stuck.” You may find you are compensating with food or drink or other distractions. You find yourself just sitting there with that sense of dread wondering “when will this get better?” You might find yourself arguing or disconnected with your partner, feeling like things are unraveling around you.

Build better connections with your partner and loved ones. Work through the issues that are holding you and your relationships back and feel deserving for the good things that come into your life. I help clients reprocess bad memories from their past that still cause emotional pain and suffering. These negative thoughts and memories can cause anxiety, depression, low self-concept and relationship issues. Get out of the grind, get rid of disruptive patterns that have you stuck in a rut, and improve your feelings of low self-worth. CBT and EMDR techniques can help you grow and develop your best self.

**NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Are you the woman that looks like she has it all together on the outside, but you know inside is a totally different situation? Is the burden of keeping up appearances taking its toll on you and you're not sure how long before it all comes spilling out? So much of your time may be spent giving, caring, or catering to others that at the end of the day it may feel like there's nothing left for you. You know something needs to change because you're physically and emotionally drained. Things are spiraling out of your control.

**Accepting New Clients** Perhaps you are not feeling like yourself or anxious. Maybe you are not sure about where your current relationship is headed. Or maybe you just aren't feeling like your normal self. You need a place where you feel safe enough to discuss, process and work on those concerns. Know that you are working with a professional that has your best interest at heart, providing realistic, non-judgement care. My practice offers you that safe place to begin that transformation and journey to a better you.

As a compassionate psychotherapist, I am here to help you navigate the difficult feelings that you may be having to stay present in the world today. As a clinician that has been practicing for over 30 years, I have learned that all behavior has meaning. Through the use of cognitive and experiential interventions, we can utilize your current resources and strengths to make meaning of your experiences and utilize them to propel you forward in life. I have worked with adolescents, adults and children throughout my career. I am very passionate about mental health and have been an advocate for our most vulnerable communities.

Call us for a free therapy orientation and action plan from one of our psychologists or therapists. Perhaps now more than ever before, we need to care for our most precious asset, our mental health.

Do you scroll through your social media and wonder why you aren’t living your “best life”? You might say, “why does it feel like everyone else has their sh*t together and here I am, struggling to 'adult' on a good day?" Do you feel like you’ve lost your chance to live the life you always thought you'd have? Maybe you’ve achieved success, but are drowning in keeping up with your own unrelenting standards. You're exhausted from performing and disappointed that you always have to miss out. You know there is more to life than your job, but you can't seem to find that work/life balance. Life has become about keeping up versus living.

When we're busy with life, we can often procrastinate tending to our most precious asset, our mental health. Perhaps now more than ever before is not the time to forego the care of your mental health. A common misconception is that therapy is only for those with serious mental health issues. True, therapy is very valuable for those going through an intense time but it's equally valuable for those who seek personal growth. Learn the skills and strategies to manage stress better, elevate your mood, and improve relationships. Attend appointments either in-person or through secure video conferencing. Give me a call for a free consult!

No one is exempt from hardship. However, if daily demands feel challenging, if we can't shake a sense of dread/sadness, if we can't accept the person we've become, if we have a hard time communicating with our partner, if we struggle to close a door of the past, or if we're witnessing our loved one go through something we can't help them with, it is time to call on someone we can trust to consult on a better way to live our lives. Our work will be a collaboration: You the expert of your life, and me the sounding board for potential areas of growth and change. The goal is contentment.

Feeling overwhelmed and out of control? Is it difficult for you to stay focused on any one thing? Maybe you catch yourself "zoning out" throughout your day. Are you generally anxious and sometimes feel unexplained guilt or shame? Do you tend to overreact or engage in self-blame? These are all subtle manifestations of trauma and can interfere significantly with your day to day life. It's common to minimize or rationalize past experiences, but in doing so you could be perpetuating your own suffering. That's a tough reality to accept, but if you're here, you've already acknowledged that you want more for yourself.

Life can present us with some pretty bad circumstances; abuse, loss, assault, bad relationships, violence, military combat, bullying, and otherwise what we would refer to as "trauma", happens to so many of us. We are not defined by how others have treated us, or by what has happened to us, though. It's my goal to help all of my clients realize the truth, and to live life as it was intended for them, without their past continuing to negatively affect them. It would be an honor for me to be a part of the process for you, to help you get your life back.

My goal is to provide a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their journey of self-awareness, change, and transformation. I have training in holistic and integrative practices, incorporating yoga, mindfulness, breath-work, and meditation. I believe the mind, body, and soul are interlaced and therefore counseling should address the full self.

I hold an assumption that the contexts of people's lives are integral in understanding both the problems that they are up against, as well as the knowledge they have in spite of those challenges. I think about people as more than the obstacles that constrain their lives. Rather than focusing on getting to the bottom or the root of an issue, I am interested in asking questions that can help you think differently about it. I believe people carry with them talents and skills that live just alongside their problems, and make up unique resiliencies that have gone unnoticed and unaccounted for. The therapeutic relationship can be a

You are holding it together on the outside, but inside you are teeming with so much worry that you can't sleep. All the details you need to worry about are running through your head all day long. Some days you are running around getting everything done and other days you are too exhausted to try to do anything. You can’t remember the last time something was actually fun. Your mind just keeps going a mile a minute, even when you are trying to relax. There’s just always so many things to worry about. You just want a minute to breathe for once!

Feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, angry, or unable to even describe how you feel? Are you ready for change? I am passionate about helping you make sense of difficult life events and improve life situations. With core values of compassion and understanding, I believe in the healing power of a positive therapeutic relationship. I can assist you with achieving greater self-understanding, increased self-acceptance, and empowerment to make any changes necessary to improve your life.

Above all I seek clients who are interested in having a caring, empathic therapist who will listen nonjudgmentally. My focus is helping people who are struggling, suffering and feeling badly. I assist a great diversity of clients including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender. I see clients of many ethnicities, races, and cultures. My clients include those with trauma and PTSD.

Each day goes by and you're feeling more and more hopeless. Your anxiety and depression convincing you there is no way out, causing your sense of self worth to diminish. Meanwhile, you're holding it together in front of everyone because you don't feel they would understand. Maybe you just got out of a long-term relationship or you're in a relationship you feel is stagnant. You possibly lost your job or even a loved one. You want nothing more than to regain your confidence and self esteem so you don't have to pretend anymore. Our work together will encompass finding purpose by transforming fear into goals that will encourage growth.

I hope to be able to help individuals motivated to make change and open to learning new coping skills, healthier thought patterns, and behaviors to live their best possible life. I work from a holistic approach instead of focusing on the problem. An important part of healing and managing is remembering that it is okay to not be okay.

Life can be hard sometimes, but some times are harder than others. After so many months of navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate of racial division and injustice, it's no wonder most of us feel like we are walking around in a cloud of existential angst. While everyone responds to stressors differently, there is one thing we all have in common; we all have the need to feel seen, heard and understood. Through a careful integration of evidence-based psychotherapy within a relational-cultural framework, I will work with you to live a value-driven life that courageously approaches, rather than avoids, emotion.

Welcome! I am passionate about providing psychotherapeutic services in a warm, empathic, and ethical setting. I provide a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where you can express yourself and your concerns freely. I value your input while also incorporating the most reliable and validated treatment methods available. I have substantial experience working with individuals experiencing grief and loss, trauma, depression and anxiety, eating disorders, and family conflict. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and families who are motivated to engage in therapy. I encourage you to contact me to discuss your questions and the changes you wish to make.
