TransformationalChoices

I believe the first and most important step is to create a nonjudgmental space to process what is on your mind. I am here to empower you to become your own therapist in the end, by giving you tools for coping and by helping you learn and let go of what is not serving you. I will meet you where you’re at--you do not have to feel ‘prepared’ for therapy sessions. We will be able to genuinely explore your feelings and inner dialogue together, even if that’s not something you would normally consider.

Together, we can improve your current state of being, whether that involves strategies for making important decisions, or how to go through a change or loss, coping techniques for depression, feelings of hopelessness, struggles with PTSD, addictive behaviors, obsessive thoughts or actions, worry, insomnia, your relationship with food, your relationship with sex and others, concerns with relating to your family of origin or family of creation, or talks about your general wellbeing. I’m here for you, and I look forward to our first session together. Stay strong, as storms never last.

My services are designed to work with individuals, couples or groups, along with their therapist in order to set and achieve specific goals.  Together we will overcome obstacles and increase your focus on goal attainment.  We will break down your goals into manageable steps so you can accomplish your goal and present your best self.  These services are designed to help in your career development, focus on your well being, or increase your leadership skill set.

Hello and welcome! I'm so glad you are here. My goal is to provide an understanding and nonjudgmental space to explore the many dimensions of life. I aim to help clients learn coping skills, build self-compassion, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves using a trauma-informed, relational perspective.

I specialize in working with women and birthing persons in the perinatal/postpartum period and individuals experiencing fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and pregnancy termination. The decision and process of building a family and adjusting to major life transitions is rarely easy. Further challenges such as birth trauma, loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and intrusive thoughts can further complicate this already stressful time. My goal is to provide an informed, compassionate space to explore and process life changes, role transitions, grief and loss, stress, and changed relationships. I am also a certified clinical trauma professional and work with individuals to heal attachment wounds. I use a variety of modalities including mindfulness, IFS (internal family systems), and parts work. If you find yourself struggling or needing support as you navigate postpartum life or a reproductive transition, you are not alone. I'm here to help you find the support you need.

I am a disability-informed practitioner, and am experienced in empowering individuals to explore strategies to fully engage in their communities, and grow in their identities.  I also have significant experience supporting people through career challenges and life transitions.

I utilize a number of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. I recognize that oppressive systems contribute to mental health disparities among marginalized groups, and work from a strengths-based, feminist, anti-racist perspective.

My person-centered approach will respect you as the expert in your own lived experience as we set and achieve specific goals together. 

My therapeutic approach is unique to each person to center their own experiences, as you are the expert of your life. I focus on building trust through empathy and compassion. My background is in Infant Mental Health working with caregivers and young children (ages 0-6), and focusing on attachment and bonding. I am passionate about helping children and adolescents, and I work closely with families and support systems to gain a holistic view of your experiences. My approach is child-led and child-centered, and I provide my clients the opportunity to express themselves in creative and unique ways.

My goal is to create a welcoming environment for everyone I work with and to provide a safe, comfortable space to help you grow. Every individual is unique in their own way and requires their own personalized plan, as a result, I utilize a variety of therapy methods depending on what works best for the client. You and I will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan around your specific needs and goals. Together, we can work to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression, process trauma, adjust to major life changes, increase overall wellbeing, and/or work through anything else that is causing distress in your life. I am also a sex-positive, kink-aware therapist who is ready to work with you to treat any difficulties associated with sexual functioning. I look forward to helping you work toward accomplishing your goals.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the next step in your healing journey! Change is not always easy but with holistic, compassionate support, change is doable. I would consider it an honor to walk alongside as you embark on the road to rediscovering your authentic self. Together we can address depression, anxiety, trauma, CPTSD, grief and loss, and relational issues. I am passionate about working with caregivers but I invite adult individuals from all backgrounds. I approach person-centered therapy from the perspective that values free will, the uniqueness of each individual, and the strengths each individual possesses to affect life changes.  I use a mix of techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, as well as other evidenced-based interventions/activities to shape an adaptable mental health wellness plan specific to your needs. I wish you success on your journey to wholeness.

I will collaborate with you in building skills to help you reach your goals. I’m here to listen and create a safe space grounded in a trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective to help you find a balance in life and feel more at ease. I specialize in helping adults and teenagers cope with burnout which can manifest in symptoms of anxiety and/or mood disorders or substance use. I use various techniques based on your needs, such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.  I also use a warm, culturally conscious approach that allows you to understand how to create more self-compassion in your life.

My approach to counseling is founded on my belief that a safe and comfortable environment is necessary in order for it to be effective. Together we can discover the tools you need to achieve your goals and develop a lifestyle conducive to healing and self-actualization.

I employ a trauma-informed approach along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and person-centered therapy to shape interventions and treatment goals. I look forward to walking with you on this journey of discovery and growth, as we explore potential paths that will lead to long-lasting, positive change.

Seeking a supportive space to feel heard and understood? Whatever you are dealing with, you can expect a collaborative, accepting environment that focuses on your strengths and provides a place for processing. Driven by your goals and needs, our work together can lead to a renewed sense of self, build confidence, and develop skills for navigating difficult situations.

I offer holistic, individual counseling and use an eclectic approach that incorporates techniques from Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Adventure therapies within a strengths-based, empowerment framework. I practice from a client-centered, trauma informed, and anti-oppression perspective.

James Baldwin said, “Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.” This work is hard but important, and I hope we can face it together.

Hello there! I am a therapist with a passion for working with individuals from a client-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive approach. I believe any and all mental health concerns are a normal part of the human experience, and often an expected part of today’s complicated society. I have a passion for working with young adults, students, individuals from BIPOC communities, and much more! I aim to create a space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self, working collaboratively with you to explore whatever you need in order to rebuild or heal.

Oftentimes, the organizational structures and culture of society can have a significant effect on an individual or communities wellbeing. As a therapist, I recognize these effects and I aim to make space for clients to communicate these things. I look forward to working alongside you, being a small part in your journey.
