No matter your faith, relationship style, orientation, gender, or race you deserve to have a place to explore the daily struggles and life experiences you have gone through.
Are you ready to make change? Do you need more balance? I work with a variety of individuals to help them build a healthier life for themselves through tapping into motivation, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and exploring mindfulness and acceptance. Many of my clients experience depression, anxiety, shame, and difficulties navigating career and personal changes. I’ve worked heavily with marginalized folks, such as LGBTQ+ community, non-monogamous individuals, polyamory, folks in alternative lifestyles such as BDSM/ leather, religious minorities, and first generation college students. You deserve to live authentically & be well.

In my 26 years of practice I have helped adults, children and teens overcome a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, anger problems and alcohol/drug addictions using traditional (cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy) and non-traditional (Eastern philosophy and meditation, and art therapy) methods. I believe that all people have the ability to help themselves, but sometimes due to overwhelming life circumstances, hardships, and crises; they become "stuck."

My specialty is treating Relationship Stressors, Anxiety, and Depression.
I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are uncertain but ready and willing to do the work to solve the solvable problems and learn the tools to cope with those that are more complex. Clients and couples who are opened and willing to receive insight and another perspective are likely to have the ability to be aware of both their contribution to the problem and its solution; and are invested in addressing their behavior. They are also more willing to consider new ideas and be open to new ways of solving problems. Does this sound like you? If so, I would love to take this journey with you. Together we can unpack and process.

We’ll work to build a collaborative relationship through person centered, psychodynamic, and humanistic approaches.
“I’m responsible. I’m not good enough. I’m not safe.” These messages replay in your mind during conflict, in relationships, at your job, or in your day to day. These thoughts make it hard to set boundaries in your family or relationships, pursue your interests, passions, or personal goals without guilt, or feel connected to your emotions. These core beliefs developed throughout your life but they do not have to define your present.

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.
