Youth today face a variety of challenges learning how to be in a complicated world. Parents want to know how to best support their children as they navigate growing into an adult. Depending on age and needs of the client, I use a combination of individual and family therapy to provide a guiding space for youth to find the best of themselves.

I like to start with a 2 session diagnostic evaluation to help identify the most appropriate evidence based treatment for the problem. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for Depression, CBT for OCD, Parent Behavior Management Training for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Habit Reversal Training for Skin Picking, Nail Biting, and Trichotillomania, and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics are some of the evidence based treatments that I commonly provide. My work with families focuses on providing skills to both the child/adolescent and parents.

Are you finding yourself engaged in patterns that used to protect you but are now feeling stuck? Do you have this subtle, or not subtle, sense of something must be wrong with me? Are you struggling to feel connected to your body? Many of us have learned ways of being to keep us safe against the harshness of our experiences. If you are curious about your patterns & what might not be serving you so well any more, this is the place for you.

I wholeheartedly believe that within everyone lies the capacity to heal, to regenerate and to create the most fulfilling life for ourselves. We all have our own unique blueprints for what it means to thrive, and to live a life of authenticity, alignment and equilibrium. With that in mind, we all also carry forth intergenerational, cultural and relational wounds that are just as unique and important to be unpacked and understood. Since 2014 I have been working in community mental health, crisis outreach and therapeutic services in order to understand what it takes to dissolve suffering and activate emotional healing.

I specialize in relationship difficulties with self, friends, family and partners, food and body. These relational strains may leave you feeling stuck, anxious, sad, and defeated. I also focus on the impacts of developmental trauma including neglect and abuse. Together, we may explore your unique inner life and lived history in addition to current socio-cultural considerations. I practice from a relational and interpersonal model, primarily, which means I use our relationship itself as one of the tools to get to know the many parts of you. This process tends to help people grow the understanding needed to make actionable change.

My counseling clinic name is Pain Alternatives because my early practice was primarily in structural medicine. I became interested in mental wellness after years of seeing the inextricable connectedness of mental and physical pain. In my current practice, I use a time-limited dynamic psychotherapy model, and medication prescription and management wherever clinically appropriate. You can come for medication management alone, for counseling alone, or for a combination of medication prescription and management with counseling sessions.

Our emotions are a biochemical reality in our bodies; we deserve to have a safe space to discover what they are telling us and how to fully express them. Oftentimes, our feelings today are based on belief systems we created in childhood to keep us safe from painful experiences. The way we made sense of our world when we were young influence and shape the quality of our relationships, how we feel about ourselves, and how we fit into the world as adults today. Sometimes this can be limiting. This whole process occurs in our body - our emotions and old belief systems that we may be unaware of ultimately guide our choices and behavior.
