I am very comfortable working with individuals in life-rocking transitions, including trauma, grief/loss, and stress relate...
College is hard! I remember how hard it was in so many ways. I'm honored to be a support to you through this important time in your life. I specialize in anxiety. I also work on post-trauma growth for those with a history of trauma. My approach is both "bottom up" (focusing on how your body/biology is responding to stress) and "top down" (working with your thoughts and mind to better manage the way you are feeling/thinking). I am heavily influenced by my studies in mindfulness medita...

If you do not want medication, that is fine. We incorporate therapy, functional psychiatry, complementary/alternative treatment in our ...
MY APPROACH TO HELPING I help people who struggle with adult parent-child relationships. I help stop the vicious cycle of guilt, shame, and overly controlled behavior. My clients struggle as you do. My clients report a parent who ignored them literally. They tried everything they could to please the parent and get the parent to see them, but they never did. The feeling that they aren’t good enough is pervasive. Even in areas where they earn awards and respect, they worry that they will hear the...

I provide a systemic approach to the treatment of couples, adolescents, and families to help foster emotional health and connection. I received ...
