I believe that I offer a unique perspective and will work hard to develop and prioritize our therapeutic relationship.
Being a person in the world today is more challenging than it has ever been. Sometimes we carry habits and beliefs into adulthood that can make it even harder. As we go through life we develop skills and interpret information in ways that help us to survive and cope with our environment. It is the brain's way of protecting us and preventing future pain. None of us are broken, but we may be applying skills and information in the present that are no longer helpful or relevant. I believe that developing awareness and understanding of these core beliefs and instincts is the first step toward healing and creating lasting change.

I am uniquely experienced and trained in the following areas: depression/anxiety, LGBTQIA+ matters (coming out, exploration, identity), in/fertility and reproductive journeys, self-esteem issues, relationship struggles, and ADHD.
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here! I understand that coming to the conclusion that you may need therapy can be difficult. I view therapy as a safe space to process and discuss all of life's chaos. And let's face it, most of us can find benefit in that. My biggest goal as a therapist is to make sure that you get something out of the 50 minutes we spend together each week. I do that by tailoring my therapeutic approach individually to each client. What works for someone else may not be what works for you. We can figure out what works for you by collaborating your expertise on yourself and my expertise and training as a therapist.

"What am I still doing here?!" The relationship has become unbearable, testing your limits and tearing you apart. The sleepless nights, the endless fights, never feeling heard, and the worst part is you have begun to lose connection with yourself. Yet, in all that chaos and pain, there remain genuine reasons to stay. It's confusing: loving someone so much but feeling like you are two mismatched puzzle pieces. But here's the truth: true incompatibility is rare. More often, it's the natural tension that arises when two individuals with different experiences, perspectives, and aspirations choose to build a life together.

I rely on a strong therapeutic relationship in order to cultivate a sex positive environment where clients are empowered to explore their sexual identities.
My clients are often frustrated, lost, confused and at their breaking point in their sexual relationships. They have shame or guilt regarding some aspect of their sexuality. They question their sexuality, ruminate over whether they are “having sex the right way?” and struggle to connect to their partners and their own bodies. My clients are curious about exploring their sexuality, motivated to heal their trauma and face cultural messages to achieve wellness, pleasure and liberation.

I specialize in and have a deep passion in providing couples with the tools to form better communication habits; to create atmospheres designed to enhance problem solving skills; and to build and strengthen significant areas of self-evolution and individuality within the relationship (sexually, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual).
Are you having trouble coping with life transitions? If so, welcome to your first step towards healing. As one's life go through the "lifing" process, many individuals and couples find themselves feeling stuck, stressed, depressed, anxious, or just overwhelmed. I applaud you for taking the initiative to grow through such life challenges as I understand from my own experiences of trauma and tragedy how terrifying seeking help can be. Change is inevitable; therefore, I provide a compassionate, attentive, and empathic energy that is intended to alleviate the distress of finding, accepting, and maintaining the help that one needs.

I have a deep respect for the power of relationship.
No two people are the same- not even two therapy sessions, with the same person, are the same. So, describing what therapy is like with me on a web site is a little like describing what "all rivers" look like. What I can say is I will prioritize that you are heard, valued, and encouraged, and I will collaborate with you on what works best for you-whether that's finding strategies to cope with something current or finally addressing a concern that has developed over time. I will also met you with integrity and offer you the best of who I am and what the field of psychology has to offer.

“You’re a person, not a diagnosis.” That phrase appears on my website and my business cards because it goes to the heart of my philosophy about therapy. While diagnoses may be helpful for medical treatments, you’re a person with real hopes, dreams, fears, and problems. Listening with respect is the beginning of our relationship, and I engage in “active listening” – asking questions for clarification, and making connections to a person’s past. Together, we’ll identify the issues facing you. Then, we’ll map out a plan to deal with those issues. In this way, I often serve as a life coach in addition to being a therapist.

Since 2013, I have been serving clients struggling with trauma, PTSD, addiction, relationship/family conflict, depression, and anxiety. Therapy is a journey into yourself. It is choosing to step out of your comfort zone into an uncomfortable place in order to grow and heal. When we face and process our feelings and emotions, they become less overwhelming and painful. I am trauma-focused and see therapy through a lens of trauma, which is on a spectrum. I use traditional talk therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), EMDR, CBT, Hypnotherapy, and somatic approaches. I provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy.

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.
