I focus on relationships and attachment issues using Emotion Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy working from an attachment based model. I place a high value on personal development and wellness allowing for the achievement of one’s full potential and believe that everyone is able to access their full potential so that they may become the best version of themselves. I enjoy working with the LGBTQIA population and have a familiarity with LGBT specific issues gained from my clinical experience at the LGBT Center for many years.

I work with couples, families, and individuals to help them reduce conflict and increase satisfaction in their relationships and day to day lives. The goal of our work would be to alleviate emotional distress, control anxiety, and feel more in control of one's choices and reactions. In addition to attachment, we would explore values and ideals to create a strength-based concept of oneself. Significant life changes, good or bad, can also add to interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts and create anxiety. Therapy can help.

I’m a big believer that therapy is for everyone. More than ever, with all the traumas of the last couple of years, folks of all races, cultures, and ages are in need of a healthy, safe, and judgment-free space to process and heal. I’ve spent the last decade providing counseling services and I have a passion for diversity, equity, and advocacy for those who face systemic barriers to mental health. My therapeutic relationships are grounded in unconditional support and positive regard. In a world full of adversity and disenfranchisement, it is invaluable to see ourselves as resilient and capable.

My therapeutic practice involves a gentle, safe and collaborative approach in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and early relational wounds. We accomplish this process through psychodynamic theory and body oriented methods such as Somatic Experiencing which integrates neuroscience, mindfulness, and attachment theory. The nervous system is the pathway between the mind and the body where many of our past experiences and feelings are stored and often "stuck" causing emotional and physical pain. The goal of therapy is to release these unaccessed areas and strengthen one's sense of self, find resiliency and tolerance and have the capacity to build solid interpersonal relationships.

I specialize in clients struggling with identity and self, be it love, acceptance, integration, or esteem.

I focus on helping people reconnect with their inner resources, community & innate wisdom, and become more aligned with the relationships they desire and the dreams they hope for. I work with people to help separate themselves from beliefs and stories that are causing them to suffer. Together we do this by gaining insight into conditions and ideas that are overpowering them, & preventing them from the life and relationships they would like. My work with couples focuses on the problems that are preventing couples from their preferred relationship & understanding how they get pulled into these habitual ways of relating.

This is a very unsettling time for many and being able to help my clients find their footing in such an uncertain time is my passion. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. My approach is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for growth to occur. I am comfortable working with individuals and couples, and often explore and help resolve maladaptive patterns, cognitions, and intimacy issues that many people struggle with. I help clients identify their goals, develop a plan, and encouragement and accountability to implement that plan, tweaking along the way if needed.

When life feels out of balance, it's easy to become overwhelmed by anxiety, sadness, anger. If you are involved in a difficult relationship, feeling stuck, or need support in navigating your challenges, please know that there is hope. By overcoming obstacles and resolving distressing issues, we can calm your anxiety, alleviate depression, and deepen your self-awareness. With your goals in mind, I work to heal old and existing wounds, and to make positive differences in your relationships, your career, and your ability to communicate in healthy, productive ways.

The challenges of growing up in today's rapidly changing society are enormous. Children need to be equipped with skills for survival and growth that were never before imagined. I focus on teaching self-healing and self-control techniques that empower youth to develop the emotional skills necessary for a happy and successful life and realize their potential throughout their lifetime. Using the positive power of their imagination, children learn to reduce stress, deal effectively with anger and frustration, reduce stomachaches, headaches, and tics, cope with divorce and death, reduce parental and sibling conflicts, increase concentration, sleep peacefully, and more.
