Counseling can help you talk to other family members addressing issues of sexuality, and other challenges a relationship or individual can face.
Sometimes we can feel like we're stuck, lost and have to try to figure it out alone. I'm here to support you in redefining who you are and what you want. Create the life you truly deserve by working through the tough stuff and embracing your unique abilities. I believe that connection is what helps us to heal and grow. My practice is based on building an authentic connection with you in order to help you become empowered to reach your goals. I offer a safe space for traditionally marginalized groups including BIPOC and First and Second Generation Immigrants, to feel seen and heard.

It’s time to repair, reconnect and reignite this relationship.
What is happening? Somewhere along the way you started to lose each other. Between the kids and careers, the spark has vanished, and your partner feels like a colleague, or worse, a stranger. It’s all too common for couples to find themselves drifting apart amidst the whirlwind of responsibilities. You thought you were paying attention to this. You're wondering, is it too late? You tried the “dates” and the self-help books with the hope of finding your way back to one another. The problem is that lately you can’t think of the last time you shared a deep conversation, laughter or intimacy. You have ended up feeling alone and lonely.

For over a decade, I have been working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families. I specialize in working with those who are struggling with shame and frustration for things over which they feel powerless. For things they've done, for things done to them, for opportunities lost, and for feeling as if they have little control over how to make things better. If you're tired of feeling stuck and ready for help, I'd like to help you get where you want to go. Issues related to sex, anger, and control are areas in which I specialize.

The pain of addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and low self-esteem arises from life experiences and toxic environments. These wounds remain when we are not provided with the support and help we need for our healing to take place. My integrative approach will examine how your family, gender, sexual orientation, race, and beliefs have impacted who you are today.

Reaching this new chapter of life felt like a milestone and you couldn't wait to get started. But now that you're here, your brilliant future is a blank page. Where do you even begin? It's so overwhelming that you get caught up in the day-to-day tasks, taking care of others, procrastinating, doom-scrolling... You never really get to the thing that moves your own story forward; not that you even know what that "thing" would be. So instead you end up spinning with anxiety or beating yourself up with words you wouldn’t say to an enemy. You feel the clock ticking. Everyone else is making plans, leveling up... Why can’t you get unstuck?

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
