Hi there, I am here to help you. I work with individuals, couples, and families with struggles ranging from current life issues, relationship struggles, and issues that have been a lifelong battle. Clients often come to me because they have hit the lowest point and have never felt more alone, even after trying therapy countless times before. Many clients have left counseling finding resolution and a drive to live their life to the fullest. My clients have expressed finding healing, feeling equipped to manage life, and having healthier relationships and connections with others that they previously thought weren't possible.

Are you struggling with obsessive thoughts about food and body size? Do you feel guilty every night when you go to sleep? Overcoming disordered eating can be a daunting task on your own. I am here to help you challenge these obsessive thought patterns and live a life free from body shame and work towards normalizing food patterns. You don’t have to fight the fight alone.

I specialize in anxiety related disorders. When you finally have time to yourself, do you struggle with being able to turn your brain off? You kick your feet up and try to alleviate stress but find that instead you’re thinking about the tasks you have to do tomorrow, what you said at work today, and that thing you have next week. You feel like you spread yourself thin, juggle a lot at once, and that you have to do everything to the absolute BEST of your ability. Maybe you can also start to be hard on yourself because you think you could do more/better/etc. At the end of the day you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated.

Have open availability for in-person and virtual sessions. Sliding scale and some insurance; can be weekly or every other week sessions. My goals are to give clients and their families tools, and offer genuine support in daily and/or lifelong struggles. My belief is that change is possible for anyone, but the client and their loved ones need to have an open mind, and believe in love and support. Getting out of your comfort zone is a guarantee, and therapy is the first step. Therapy helps us make changes that lead to lifelong healthy habits of self care and thriving personal relationships.

My goal is to help an individual or family get past the feelings of anxiety, depression, frustration, aggravation, and the complexities in life that are holding them back from living longer and more meaningful lives. This could be accomplished by either resolving the problem or issue that is tormenting the person or family, or finding out better ways to live with it. Although there cannot always be total resolution over life’s problems or issues, given the right treatment plan we have worked on together, inner peace can be achieved.

It's getting harder and harder not to argue in front of the kids. Or, not to argue at all. You are feeling resentful and annoyed with your partner and your negative reactions happen faster than ever before. Plus, you don't want to rock the boat and almost any conversation you have right now turns into an argument. It feels like the person lying next to you in bed is only a roommate and you are lonely. You thought things were getting better but then one more fight sent you back to square-one of feeling alone and distant from each other. You are no longer playing the waiting/hoping game and are looking for change.

I work with individuals who are navigating grief and loss, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions and identity development. In therapy, I balance addressing symptoms and looking beyond the surface to address the underlying emotions driving behavioral and interpersonal patterns. By learning new adaptive coping strategies and gaining insight into the early development of current emotional wounds or maladaptive behaviors, clients can feel empowered to create positive change.

I work with individuals with a variety of mental health diagnosis and concerns. Some people come to counseling to process a traumatic event, some come to talk about the stress they're experiencing at their job, and some come just to learn about why they haven't been feeling their best emotionally lately. If you feel like you could even pinpoint exactly why you feel how you do, but it just doesn't make it better, I'm the counselor for you. I don't just help you figure out why, I help you DO something with what you learn about yourself so you can move past any barriers you have.

I have a few areas I'm really passionate about - OCD and anxiety disorders, perinatal mental health and trauma. I'm a graduate of the International OCD Foundation's Behavior Therapy Training Institute and seek ongoing training and consultation around OCD and anxiety disorders as it's something I love continuing to learn about. I have extensive training in the treatment of trauma (including EMDR) and I also completed Postpartum Support International's certification course. I'm also a native Spanish speaker and enjoy working with immigrant clients.

Life is difficult. You can be coasting along, only to wake up and find you just don’t have the same kind of joy and excitement that you used to. Activities and being with people you used to enjoy now just feel dull and lifeless or fill you with anxiety and, no matter what you do, nothing changes. You have difficulty falling asleep and, when you finally do, you wake up feeling exhausted and unrested. Your relationships may often be defined by constant fighting, insecurity, or lack of connection and excitement. Issues of sexual integrity fill you with shame, and, no matter what you do, you continue to struggle.

Let's start here: you are not broken, and nothing is wrong with you. But if you have felt disconnected from your own sexuality or like there's a canyon of space between you and your partner, I can help. Many barriers in the way of our sexual thriving are outdated or inaccurate cultural, societal, and internal core messages that block us up. Sex is supposed to be free, playful, and uninhibited. If that sounds like a completely foreign world, it may be time to reexamine your own relationship to eroticism.

I have been personally affected by a high risk pregnancy, a traumatic birth and a NICU stay. That is what has led me to this work. For the past thirteen years, my work has been with perinatal mental health; specifically working with women with high risk pregnancies due to a congenital anomaly identified in their baby during pregnancy. I am here to help anyone that is struggling with feelings of angst and unrest about those unexpected challenges that are thrown your way. I have worked a great deal with perinatal and infant loss as well. I have a growing passion for helping women, specifically focusing on maternal mental health.
