Life has a way to dealing certain cards that can have a huge impact how we see and interact with the world around us. Those experiences mixed with negative feelings/emotions can create disruptions or disharmony in our life's; leaving us feeling angry, depressed, anxious, ashamed, hurt, disappointed, confused, unbalance, or traumatized. Any issue left unresolved has the potential to create or continue an unhealthy cycle of functioning. Using therapy, I provide clients with the space/environment where they can explore and process past and present experiences that impact how they feel and function.

Stressors related to work, relationships, medical conditions and other key areas of life occur every single day, and sometimes they may become overwhelming and out of control. Most of the time, we are able to help ourselves out of these types of situations, but there are times when it is too challenging to handle alone. When that happens, we often find ourselves stuck and unable to react, or continue to use solutions that may not be the best for us. It can be very draining and demotivating, and spiraling out of control. We sometimes want someone to find a solution for us, while at other times, we just want someone to listen to us.

Licensed in CA (in person/virtual) and VA (virtual). Transitions bring us face to face with the joys, anxieties, grief, and triumphs of change, and offer an opportunity for us to see where we might be stuck, lost, confused, or needing clarity or compassion. The way transitions manifest in your life can be informed by trauma, attachment styles, and the unique way your brain and temperament process the world around you. These can appear as depression, anxiety, obsessive thinking, dissociation, or other symptoms. But you’re more than a list of symptoms and diagnoses, and I can help you find relief and make meaning from your experience.

I enjoy helping people who are trying to manage their anxiety, or who have experienced trauma in their lives, or who are having difficulty in their relationships and are trying to figure out why. I also focus on helping you to accept aspects of themselves, even if the rest of the world doesn't always seem to accept you. I can help you to understand yourself better by exploring the past and present with you, to determine what does and does not work in your life, and to understand (and fully claim) aspects of your identity.

Another sleepless night spent agonizing over every interaction from the day before. I shouldn’t have spoken up in that meeting. Everyone is probably laughing at me behind my back. Why don’t I keep my big mouth shut? You try to push these thoughts down and ignore them, but it’s no use. You’re terrified no one will like you for who you are, so you pretend to be someone else. And for a time, it worked. But every day, you feel less like yourself, more like an imposter. You distance yourself from loved ones, worried they’ll notice this change in you. You’re feeling disconnected – like you have no control over your life. You need help.
