Hello there! I'm Rae. In my practice as a clinical psychologist, I offer a blend of psychotherapeutic support, LGBTQ+ wellness guidance, and consultative expertise, all carefully crafted to meet your individual journey. My practice is enriched by a diverse range of interests including self-identity exploration, the intricacies of human relationships, the embrace of neurodiversity, navigating trauma, managing existential angst, as well as tackling anxiety, depression, and fostering personal growth. My commitment is to foster an authentic and secure environment that allows you to honor your truest self.

I am an experienced clinician and am skilled at creating a safe, warm, empathic environment for my clients in which to heal and grow. I am a generalist with specialized knowledge in the areas of eating disorders, body image, relational issues, trauma recovery, EMDR, couples counseling, family of origin issues, anxiety, post traumatic stress, women's issues, parenting, and mindfulness and yoga as therapeutic endeavors. I work within my clients' multicultural lens and framework to establish safety and rapport. I include my clients in their treatment planning and process of therapy to create greater gains and a sense of mastery.

Transitions are, by their very nature, difficult. Adjusting to any life change requires continued growth, self-development and a balance between one's inner strength and external resources. I assist adults (as well as senior citizens) to create a meaningful existence in the social and environmental contexts of their lives. I use cognitive behavioral methods to help my clients successfully cope with a broad spectrum of stressors and personal life challenges related to major life events--career change, retirement, divorce or the death of a loved one.

Feeling connected to ourselves and others, and developing a healthy relationship to our own emotions, has a strong effect on our happiness and well-being. With a background in Emotionally Focused therapy and AEDP, I specialize in working with complicated, painful or confusing emotions that keep couples and individuals feeling stuck, disconnected and alone. My specialities include: couples drifting apart, on different pages, or in constant conflict; individuals going through a difficult time in their life or relationship; and anyone looking to shift emotional patterns and find new ways of relating.

I specialize in Relationship Therapy (couples, pairs) & High-Powered Therapy for individuals. <> Relationships: we feel frustration, anger & loneliness when we're not understood, seen or respected. We wonder - How can I love someone & also hate them? Why do I want to push them away & also wish they'd be closer? How can I feel lonely in a partnership I'm not alone in? <> Individuals: I work with strong, high-achieving "Type A"s who find it hard to slow down, to "just be" content, who need someone who understands your pace, how your mind works, how it feels like you're 15 steps ahead when everyone else is still figuring out step 1.

My biggest hope is to help you create a deeper awareness of yourself in order to nurture the relationship within, and with those around you. I view therapy as a collaborative process and relationship. I believe that you are the expert of your own life. I welcome feedback! If you’re ever wondering where we’re going, or what I’m doing - please ask. The therapeutic process should not be a secret, and I’m happy to share information with you along the way.

“How can I reconnect intimately with my partner?” “How do we navigate having different levels of sexual desire?” “How do we rebuild trust after it’s been broken?” “Who am I and what does that mean?” These are all questions I have heard many iterations of in my therapy office, so if you’ve found yourself asking some of these same questions, you’re not alone. Whether you're tackling rebuilding trust, cultivating intimacy, exploring sexuality, deconstructing harmful self-narratives, or developing communication skills, it is an honor to walk alongside you during this journey, as you invest in yourself and your relationships.

Do you ever find yourself caught in a cycle of facing challenges related to your anxiety, relationships, and self-exploration, no matter what else is happening in your life? You may be fed up with the tight grip of anxiety, and feeling the erosion of your self-confidence. Making it difficult to navigate relationships with the openness and authenticity you desire. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to forge connections with others who understand and appreciate you for who you are. Most of all, you’re ready to feel empowered.

I am a mindfulness-inspired, somatic psychotherapist. At the core of my work, I value bringing deep respect for your unique lived experiences, curiosity to understand your individual system – in its wounding and in its wellness, and kindness to study together how these lived experiences impact your current life and relationships. I feel honored to travel into the unknown together, guiding and supporting you as we explore & deepen into important themes to assist the unfolding of new insights. I attend to opportunities to find and feel new experiences which support you in your goals to live life in more fulfilling, satisfying ways.

I encourage new clients to utilize a free 15-20 minute consultation with me to assure that we are a good match to embark on a therapeutic relationship together. Taking the first steps towards help is difficult and takes a great deal of courage. I work with great care and compassion through multiple modalities to provide my clients the most effective therapy for what is overwhelming them. Feeling more peace and understanding, with a clear pathway to a healthier relationship with yourself and others are the results I provide. Services offered are strength-based, evidenced-based, social justice oriented, and support mind-body-spirit.

Creativity, aliveness, sexuality, passion and playfulness are all inherent experiences of being human. I am passionate about helping others live a life that feels alive and engaging. With a compassionate presence and non-judgmental perspective, I co-create an environment for clients to explore hard emotions and life experiences so that they can be more spacious, confident, strong and joyful. Connection through relationships, sex, intimacy and love are areas I specialize in. I am a multicultural and trauma informed counselor who speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese fluently. I also offer cannabis and ketamine-assisted therapy.

I believe that every person has the capacity to be happy. When I work with individuals and couples, I get to know each unique person and circumstance. My treatment approach considers the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of each person. The non-judgmental relationship of trust and acceptance creates an environment that is conducive to the self-discovery that is necessary for achieving and maintaining optimal mental health and happiness. Helping others is my life's purpose, and I am honored to join people on their quest for a happy life.

Are you unhappy with your life or unfulfilled in your relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed by worry, sadness, anxiety or uncertainty? Sometimes we just get stuck and find that coping on our own isn't working. My passion is working with college students and young adults to provide supportive therapy around a variety of issues that feel too big to manage on your own anymore. I use evidenced- based interventions specializing in depression, anxiety, relationships and behavior patterns, as well as addiction issues. I am accepting new clients and will respond the same day.

Deciding to begin counseling can be intimidating! Maybe you've been thinking about going to therapy for a long time, or maybe something happened to you that you need space to process, with some guidance. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing difficult life transitions, mood and anxiety disorders, and those who aren't quite sure what category they would fall into. Regardless, our job together once you walk into the room is to figure out how I can best help. It's okay if you don't know what that looks like, yet. That's part of my job!

Welcome! I specialize in Eastern psychology, mindfulness, and psychedelic therapy using ketamine. I create a safe space for self-discovery and inner harmony. Through mindfulness, we cultivate awareness and self-compassion. I offer transformative ketamine-assisted therapy, adhering to ethical standards. Ideal for those seeking breakthroughs, relief from emotional distress, and profound personal growth. If you find yourself feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, resistance to change and/or relationship patterns that do not serve you, this is the work for you.

Finding balance while juggling life's responsibilities can at times be overwhelming. We all need help sorting through our feelings. I have genuine empathy for people and the human experience. This quality underlines my passion to guide my clients to a purpose filled life. Whether you're faced with a temporary crisis or you're looking to learn skills necessary to have a balanced life, I offer a safe space, full of support with the goal to promote understanding and self-awareness.

To the deep feelers and thinkers, those who notice things that others miss, I see you. 30% of us are born with more finely-tuned nervous systems than others, yet most of us have been made to feel different, strange, and "too sensitive". If you often get overwhelmed by life and the chaos of the world, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you. I love helping Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and others with neurodiverse brains understand themselves in light of their sensitivity, heal from past trauma, and gain the self-trust to soar.
