To all the self-proclaimed perfectionists & people-pleasers out there: No, life does not have to be this hard. Let me paint you a picture: You are overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, but you do everything you can to appear perfectly fine in front of other people. You feel really alone, but you’re afraid to burden others with your pain. You feel like you’re constantly running on empty, but you don’t know how to get back to feeling like yourself again. To make matters worse, that voice in your head...
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed and disconnected. Perhaps your relationship is stuck in a negative cycle and you can't find the way out. Maybe you are going through a difficult transition and could use support. At some point we all need help dealing with the changes, or lack of change in our lives. Therapy can be a wonderful place to work out how to take the next steps and find relief. As a liberation focused therapist, I understand the impact oppressive structures have on our mental...

Are you feeling overwhelmed under the pressures of facing adulthood, career choice, independence, success/failure, and the "future," particularly in these stressful times?

I promise, I really get all that you may be struggling with and can help. I strive to provide a relaxed, supportive, and completely judgment-free space for all clients to help them figure it...

You want to "feel more like yourself" at school, at work, in your intimate relationships. You want to love freely, find balance, or prepare for a change. We can explore the WHYs or focus on the HOWs. I can help you understand in consultation, coaching, or psychotherapy the repeating patterns that impact your wellbeing and gain new skills to create and discover choices. We will talk about relationships, intimacy, sexuality to understand how you relate and connect (family, friends, colleagues, pa...
I am an avid believer in counseling for everyone. I first went to counseling when I was in college and it was during that time that I realized the importance and impact it had in my own life. I believe in the connection between physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health and investing in the connection between all four. My heart as a counselor is to create a safe and caring environment for my clients where they feel accepted and can begin healing. In creating that environment, I hope t...

Life feels so lonely. Sometimes wherever you look, no one seems to be there even when you are surrounded by people. You feel like it’s time to get help, to see if this pain can go away once and for all. Your decision to pursue counseling can be the most rewarding but intimidating. Stepping out to share your most sacred and deep thoughts takes courage. By taking that first step of growth, you are saying “I cannot keep struggling and doing life alone.” We are meant for relationships, to feel suppo...

I remember life on campus being hugely enjoyable when I was a student. Freedom and independence, at last! At times, there were also procrastination, concentration problems, lack of self-organization, pressure to perform and the agonizing fear to fail. On my campus, there was not an easy access to counseling/psychotherapy. In my private practice, I focus on counseling and treatment of problems and conditions related to ADHD, anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive behavior as well as coupl...
