Do you and your partner struggle with communication issues, conflict or sexual issues that undermine your ability to have a fulfilling relationship? Do you long for deeper emotional and sexual intimacy? Do you and your partner feel like roommates? Do you feel defeated and frustrated about having the sort of connection and support that you crave? I support couples in creating their optimal relationship in which they feel fully known, loved, connected, and supported in being their best selves.
I work best with adolescents and adults who are seeking a compassionate and genuine therapy relationship to understand themselves, regain or build personal strength, and make choices to have the life they want. Growth takes place within this curious and supportive relationship, often by developing a deeper sense of the themes or patterns in their life, learning what is unchangeable, knowing how you understand yourself and your worth, and changing beliefs you have that interfere with your life.
I help people heal from trauma and ex-cult experiences. I see veterans through The Headstrong Project. A wellness-focused approach is best suited for those who are ready to engage in deeper work. Developing increased self-compassion, radical acceptance and understanding about how we use self-blame to survive can help you move beyond the effects of trauma. Are you ready to commit your time, energy and resources to your well-being? You are worth this investment of time, energy and resources!
I specialize in: childhood sexual abuse, incest, sexual assault, rape, sexual harassment, domestic violence, and intimate partner violence. Trauma can fracture who you are as a person. It can make you feel unlike yourself, distant from others, and changed forever. Perhaps for you that looks like flashbacks, nightmares, feeling hopeless, anxious, having low self-esteem. There can be many responses to trauma, and all of them are justified. I can help you cope and heal from the impacts trauma.
My clients are caring, empathetic, and hardworking. They're also at the end of their rope and don't know what else to do to help themselves. I take a whole-person approach. Anxiety can layer on top of other emotions making it hard to get to the root causes and struggles. Sometimes folks have undiagnosed ADHD, and haven't had proper support or recognition for this other part of them. That's where I come in. I'll help you clear away the fog so what you love is at the center of your life.

Many clients come to me to help them unpack what has happened to them in the past, and how it affects them today. My specialization is in working with folks who are non-monogamous/polyamorous/monogamish, or want to explore this space more. I love helping people to unpack the stigma and beliefs in our society that keep you from fully relaxing into this space. I can also help with attachment issues and trauma (including jealousy) that get triggered in relationships.
There’s a lot happening in our world right now. If you’re finding yourself struggling with adjusting to life changes, experiencing low mood, or feeling challenged in a relationship, you don’t have to hold this alone. In therapy, I create a space where you can be your authentic self, in the safety of a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and cared for. I have a warm therapeutic approach that is collaborative so we can work together toward the heart of what you are needing.
If you're someone who's feeling lonely, depressed, and lost and confused about who you are. You may be at a crossroads of knowing some or all of your identities but unsure how they all fit. I get it, and my therapy is centered around you and your lived experience. I want you to know that there is hope for you, you are not alone and together we can make helpful changes and work towards your best self. The highest compliment a client can give me is "you get me"
My clients quickly learn that their pains are not a weakness, but a portal towards wisdom and growth. Through my approach I work with you to enhance your innate strength, reconnect with your ability to continue thriving, and guide you towards self-compassion. I believe through the appropriate therapeutic approach, our deepest struggles and difficult life experiences can become the force of our greatest wisdom.
You are intelligent, kind & funny, yet you don't understand why but you keep ending up in the same struggle and you are sick of it. You are motivated and want better for yourself. You are often stuck in relationships where your needs aren't getting met. There are places that you are very successful and this confuses you even more because you don't know why you can't fix those other problem areas of your life. I look forward to helping you in those places you are stuck!! #youmatter

My specialty is working with adult individuals and couples dealing with relationship issues rooted in trauma; mostly dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), childhood trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault. Clients that typically form a strong connection with me are other therapists, their partners, individuals in the LGBTQ community, immigrants and adult children of immigrants (25-60 y/o).
Are you seeking a more fulfilling sex life? Perhaps you have lost or never experience a "sex drive" or not content or comfortable with the kind of sex you are having? Sexuality can be a core aspect of our sense of self and yet there are few places to explore this. I offer a therapeutic space where you do not have to hide parts of your life due to judgment, stigma or shame. I will help guide and support you to understand and learn about the kind of sex that YOU find fulfilling.
Hi! I am a self-esteem, ADHD and body image specialist. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and work with teen and adult individuals, age 17 and above. My passion is in helping individuals struggling with negative body image, executive function issues and/or depression, work on building up their self-esteem, learn about their brain, decrease perfectionism and anxiety, and develop healthy relationships. I help clients develop a deeper sense of self-worth and more fulfilling life.
I work well with goal-oriented patients that want to make active changes to meet goals that will improve their lives. Clients would want to learn to manage their mental health through looking inward and back and/or developing coping skills to deal with the reaction of their emotions. We could also use therapy to gain a stronger understanding of "Who I am" and "What I stand for" by identifying values that we want to live by.
Do you find yourself feeling anxious or depressed no matter what you do? You may be struggling with difficult memories, substance abuse or phobias. You may not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for things to change. You’re ready to find some relief. Most of all, you’re ready to break and move forward with your life.

Many of my clients are over-functioning in their lives and have the underlying belief that their worth is tied to their usefulness and achievement. They often struggle with extreme guilt and approval-seeking so I focus on nurturing who they are as a person, outside the roles they perform. I work from a humanistic perspective and help my clients feel more confident in their desires and boundaries to gain a secure sense of self and build more fulfilling relationships.
