Are you ever sitting in doubt about your ability to handle life’s demands while simultaneously being able to trust that “it’ll be all OK?” Whether it’s career despair, too many financial demands, a relationship, a breakup, a diagnosis, parenting, your family’s wellbeing, doing life “right” by societal standard, where you’re meant to live, the fate of your current relationship, etc- the uncertainty of what’s ahead is often all consuming. The gap of what is and what will be is often perceived as very scary terrain. Proper navigation requires skill for internal resilience to take hold amongst the chaos of our angst.

I work with individuals, couples, and families in a dynamic, related, and grounded style. My work is about supporting my clients in learning how to relieve their own suffering, relate to others more effectively and efficiently, and living the life they want to live. Much of this work is around transitions in life: puberty, education, individuation, relationships, work, self-identification, and grief. My work with couples and families is grounded in the Psychobilogical Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) and I am a Level II certified PACT therapist. I work with adolescents, adults, all genders, races, sexual orientations, and spiritual beliefs.

I find therapy most potent, important, and meaningful when there is a mix of: compassion/spaciousness (non-judgment); curiosity/levity (as appropriate); & choicefulness. From my background in Somatic Counseling/Body Psychotherapy, I make use of my own body, and body-based (a.k.a. somatic) tracking, applied moment-to-moment in the room with clients. Sometimes this is as simple as noticing the breath, or bringing attention (and other options) to bear when something shifts. There are also many extensive toolboxes of potential somatic interventions that expand the range, and the richness, of what a session together may include.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional pain and distress. My fundamental approach to treatment is relational. Therapy is a process where we will develop an alliance in which your emotional and developmental needs are made a priority. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try it.

I enjoy working with neurospicy/neurosparkly people, queer people, chronically ill people, and people who simply are ready to dive into what it means to be a human in this world. I believe in the interconnectedness of the body, the mind, and the spirit and will bring it all into our sessions if that is what calls to you. I don't believe in pushing people to disclose if they don't want to. I work within a framework of consent and open-heartedness at all times. I want you to feel safe when you are with me and to learn how to hold that space for yourself as well. Please check out my website at mountainmeadowllc.me for more about me.

Is your child struggling to control their emotions or reactions? Has their behavior changed and you’re not sure why? Maybe their grades have dropped; all of the sudden you’re getting calls from the school; they may have withdrawn into themselves, or begin lashing out at others. While children and teens are incredibly resilient, even under the best of circumstances, they may need support from someone outside of the family in order to recover from a major change, or unlock their full potential & thrive. That is where therapy comes in, and I would love to be the one to help.

I truly believe that, when open and ready, we have the ability to recognize, acknowledge, and heal from the challenging beliefs and experiences from our past that may be impacting our present. My goal as a therapist is to meet you wherever you are, fully and without judgment, to join you on your journey to a more whole and valued sense of life and self. I aim for our time together to be built on mutual trust and authenticity. I work with clients of all ages and utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities and holistic approaches based on what serves each individual best and aligns with their interests and values.

You are the guide on this journey. You deserve the freedom to grow in a way that is meaningful and valid for your voyage in life. You will not be lectured or pressured to pursue a path that is not yours. Growth takes time, energy, and empathy. Vulnerability is challenging, and I will do my part to create a space where you feel comfortable to process these experiences. I will celebrate your success and be there for during life's missteps. I am honored and look forward working with you.

I am on maternity leave from January 1st - April 30th, 2024 and will not be accepting new clients until May 2024.

I am a doctor of Psychology who has gained a high level of education and training in both Western and Eastern therapeutic and healing methods. I synthesize my methods and create an individualized treatment plan for each client. The client plays a major part in creating the treatment plan and the goals that will be reached throughout the therapeutic process. A holistic approach considers all facets of the body and the human experience. The client can be assured that the practitioner will have knowledge and expertise in many domains that have been synthesized into a new approach to growth, transition, transformation, and healing.

The work I do with clients is rooted in the belief that connecting with all of the parts that make us who we are and forming meaningful relationships with our surrounding community (both human and non-human) can help us find solid ground in times of stress, trauma, and challenging life transitions. I specialize in helping children, teens and young adults develop the skills to find nervous system regulation, form healthy attachments, and build skills to manage anxiety and depression. I predominantly (and not exclusively) work with folks in the LGBTQIA2S+ community, believing that every body deserves a caring space to heal and restore

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Struggling with your relationships and not sure why? You're not alone. I'm here to offer you space to explore, feel better and thrive. You don't get a medal for suffering, so let's work together to find you more joy in this one, beautiful (hard) life. I believe one of the bravest things we can do is begin to understand our own story. Vulnerability can be one of the scariest, most liberating, and empowering acts, and undoubtedly takes courage - so I commend you for being here, wherever you are in your process.

I am a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for empowering youth and supporting the LGBTQ+ community. I have over a decade of hands-on experience in the field. I recognize and celebrate the diverse ways in which individuals experience the world, tailoring my therapeutic interventions to meet the specific needs and preferences of each person I work with.

People are complex and life is complicated - sometimes we can manage alone and sometimes we need additional support. I'm here for those times that lean towards support. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or even bored with your current situation. You may have an urgent concern and insufficient tools to deal with it. Or, you might not be quite so sure what the problem is exactly, but know something isn't right in your core or spirit. You are probably seeking to change your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or beliefs in some meaningful way. By being here and looking for a therapist in the first place, you're taking a brave first step.

Navigating the world can be murky, difficult and anxiety inducing. Clients come to me when they are overwhelmed with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Together we work to establish personal understanding and create a path forward that feels stable, clear and bright. I have a wide range of experience working with clients within the LQBTQIA+ community, along with those who have experienced trauma, depression, and anxiety. I work from an existential framework with anti-racist and queer affirming lenses.

Whether you are in a bit of a rut or are looking to do some deep soul searching work, you have come to the right place. I see each client as a whole person rather than as a collection of symptoms and want to work with you to understand how you got to where you are and how to get to where you’d like to be. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ related issues, Anxiety, OCD, GAD, Agoraphobia, Panic Disorder, ADHD, ASD, and Depression. I am also currently accepting clients in search of Gender Affirming Care Evaluation for Gender Affirming Surgery (GAS) and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

This world can be a painful and confusing place. Whether you’re struggling with men’s issues, ADHD, relationship issues, or a personal challenge, you may be wonder: Can I ever feel good about who I am? Is it even possible for me to be happy? Is it possible to heal from what I've been through? Regardless of your current situation, the answer to all of these questions is “Yes.” Others similarly situated have found a way out, and there is hope for you too. Sometimes a listening heart, a broader perspective, or new insights can help you reframe your understanding of your life. Learn how to treat yourself as if you were a good friend.

I provide therapy and coaching for neurologically diverse adults and teens who may at times feel challenged, confused or exhausted by the social world. I enjoy helping clients to interpret the 'invisible' rules of social relationships, and to problem-solve practical challenges they may face at home, work, or school. I use EMDR therapy frequently for improving self-regulation, and for processing trauma or other past experiences that may be interfering with clients' daily life. I also provide consultation to parents and caregivers of individuals who are working on social cognition issues.
