My approach to the therapeutic process integrates several cognitive and behavioral therapies to meet the specific goals that are unique to each client. My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to explore themselves and the concerns that are present in their lives and to work collaboratively to heal and grow through life’s challenges. We all have our own set of values that guide the choices we make in life, and my approach to the healing process includes considering how my clients’ perso...

I specialize in helping teens, adults and families who are struggling in their relationships. You may find the trauma or discord from your past is resulting in unhappy relationships where you feel disconnected or misunderstood. This can include parents feeling frustrated and needing practical strategies, academics navigating a competitive environment, or those overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or low self esteem who are ready to release unhelpful symptoms. I provide tailored strategies to unco...
Welcome. Clients I work best with usually share at least one of the following issues in common: persistent sadness, uncontrollable worry, relationship issues, excessive substance/alcohol use, perfectionism, and/or a traumatic event, such as an assault. I meet with potential clients via a brief, free phone call initially to determine if I am a good fit for their needs. Next steps are an intake session for about 90 minutes, followed by (usually) weekly, hourly sessions, and eventually a step d...
Sometimes we don’t have anyway of knowing what we’ve been through until it’s over. Recognizing things that were harmful to us sometimes cannot happen until we are no longer in survival mode. Dealing with overwhelming thoughts, depression, anxiety, or the overwhelming emotions that can come in waves is a significant thing to have to handle. This can lead to people struggling to handle life, and even consider ending it. At Inverted Dawn, we specifically work with people who’ve reached that point w...

Many of the students I work with look like they’ve got it all together but inside, they’re stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that don’t feel good anymore. Some are juggling school, work, and relationships. Others are navigating anxiety, depression, or coping in ways that aren’t helping. What they share is the desire for change. They want to feel calmer, more confident, and more in control with tools they can actually use in daily life. If this sounds like you, you don’t have to f...

Hey and Welcome! As a therapist, my goal is to create an emotionally safe space, that is intersectional and inclusive, to pursue personal healing and self-discovery. Through our work, we will identify how the experiences you have had in your life have impacted who you are in this world and how you relate to others. We will explore the emotional, mental, and systemic barriers that get in the way of evolving into the person you'd ideally like to be, while simultaneously developing a deep respe...
Welcome! There are times in life where we may find ourselves struggling with current stressors or are experiencing challenges coping with wounds from the past. While seemingly functioning in the day-to-day routines of work, school, home, and within relationships, it becomes increasingly difficult or sometimes even impossible to manage. For many of us, strength is often perceived as “holding it together” while we are painfully bottling up the emotions that we were actually designed to experien...
As solution-focused, person-centered therapists, our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead the life you want. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve your personal challenges. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth longstanding behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Our providers are...
My intent is to offer clients the support, acceptance, insight and guidance needed in order to achieve a healthier and more fulfilling level of functioning in their lives. You may have already identified goals for self-improvement that you’d like to sort through, or maybe you are not yet able to articulate anything beyond your desire to alleviate a general discomfort, soreness, pain or paralyses you feel in one or more areas of your life. It is OK to enter counseling with more questions than ans...

The college and graduate school years can be particularly hard. You may want to start counseling because you're struggling with stress and anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationships, traumatic experiences like sexual assault and emotional abuse, low self-worth, and unresolved family issues. Additionally, the events in our larger world--oppression, politics, the environment, financial instability--may impact your sense of safety and your motivation to keep building a better future.
