If you are finding yourself in need of therapy then chances are searching for a new therapist may be feeling a bit daunting right now. Whether you are going through a significant life situation or if your distress seems to have caught you by surprise, I thought it would be helpful to share some highly likely topics of exploration that can be expected during our work together as a means to seeing the change you want to see - no matter what your desires for therapy may be: self-compassion; core emotions; boundaries; core beliefs about yourself; autonomy; vulnerability; self-worth; healthy relationships of all types; strengths. View 6 Photos I have extensive experience working with individuals impacted by trauma related to intimate partner violence and sexual assault as well as from abuse and neglect. The core of my work uses feminist theory to explore how systems of oppression as well as socialization impact our emotional health and explore how one can move toward empowerment and autonomy. In Session was created with the hope that a serene space can allow you to find respite from your busy world long enough to slow down and put yourself first. I strive to always be genuine, empathetic and warm so that you may feel safe, accepted and open as you navigate the pains and joys that occur throughout therapy. I hope to connect with you soon.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by feelings of distress, you're not alone. Many individuals reach out to me, seeking support for general feelings of unhappiness, sadness, anxiety or anger. As an experienced psychotherapist, I specialize in guiding people through these emotions with care and understanding, while also helping them navigate other challenging conflicts in their life. I do this through a psychoanalytic approach, a therapy that fosters long-term emotional growth by exploring and understanding unconscious thoughts and feelings that may cause issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. In terms of my experience, I've had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances, which has provided me with invaluable experience and empathy. For me, ethics and understanding serve as the utmost guiding tools in therapy. Thus, I consider ongoing training, professional development, and consultation to be vital. I understand how important it is to consider therapy, and I appreciate your step towards it. To determine if this type of therapy is right for you, I encourage you to schedule a free consultation. It's an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore how I can assist you.

My clients are individuals and couples who find themselves at a point in life where they may feel "stuck," or saying, "I've tried everything and nothing is working." Regardless of one's age, the feeling of being stuck is a common and universal experience. Entering into therapy is not a way to fix things, but rather a time to discover new opportunities for change and growth. It is through those times that the feeling of being stuck can evolve into positive movement and renewed energy. I work with all who are interested in creating their best life; however, I specialize in working with individuals and couples. I practice present-centered therapy; helping individuals make connections between their present concerns, prior experiences, and future goals. I work to help individuals integrate their emotional, behavioral, cognitive, spiritual, and physical selves to achieve holistic health.

Through my clinical experience I have noticed that societal pressures, peer pressure and unhealthy dynamics with others in the home, community and school settings have caused youth to rebel, often both internally and externally. Consequences of these behaviors can lead to impaired critical thinking skills, irregulated emotions and a lack of optimism of one’s ability to overcome barriers to a successful future. I utilize therapeutic interventions to empower clients and encourage them to recognize their untapped potential. I have knowledge and experience working with youth and young adults in various of settings. These settings include school, home, community, groups homes, residential centers and juvenile detention centers. I specialize in providing individual and family therapy for client’s between the ages of 8-21. Youth therapy is a collaborative process where all parties who want to be involved in the therapy process will work together on developing a individualized plan to help the youth work through their emotional or behavioral problems.

The challenges of life offer us incredible opportunities for healing and growth. I want to create a safe space to explore the depths of unresolved life experiences. I work with women and treat depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma-related issues. Throughout our lives, many of us develop defenses and behaviors to survive. We may find in time that these ways of survival no longer serve us but instead keep us feeling trapped. Our once understandable attempts to avoid pain may have left us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Your true self is not your survival strategies.

Are you open and curious about how to create more ease in your life? Much of our stress, anxiety and depression is the result of our natural reaction to perceived emotional and physical threats. You may have heard fight, flight or freeze responses. We were born with these natural reactions and they helped us survive. Mindfulness based counseling along with cutting edge techniques can help you develop more awareness and with a little practice and a sense of humor you can calm and nurture the too easily frightened part of us. Overtime awareness, practice and brain plasticity can create authentic change within. Living in the present rather than in the future or past allows us to live more content and healthy lives emotionally, physically & relationally. Awareness practices, somatic experiencing, IFS, cognitive therapy, AEDP and even ‘The Tools’ are all resources in my tool box. We will gather supplies then explore and discover what works well for you. You are not alone. We are all learning how to navigate life’s challenging terrain. The practice and art of living mindfully is like learning how to skillfully ride a surf board on the open ocean. With time and practice you will learn to ride all the natural waves of life.
