Cascata Psychotherapy

Navigating the waves of life can be challenging, especially amidst the whirlwind of work, relationships, and an ever-changing world. It's easy to feel off-balance, but with intention and skill, you can reclaim your balance. Individuals come to see me when they sense something missing in their lives, whether it's connection, purpose, or both. They may feel stuck, confused, or struggle with confidence and self-worth. Others may experience depression, anxiety, or feel overwhelmed by grief or anger. I'm here to support you surfing these waves. I work collaboratively with you, integrating various approaches (client-centered, humanistic, gestalt, narrative, mindfulness and Eastern philosophies) to create change. It takes great courage in seeking help and I appreciate you being here. 

 

As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in guiding those who identify as women in various stages of life- from teens to elders- to cultivate a life rich with meaning and joy. Through a trauma-informed and culturally-affirming lens, I empathically address topics like identity exploration, mindfulness, privilege, systems of oppression, self-expression, self-esteem, and complex family dynamics. By fostering compassionate self-awareness and embracing strengths and vulnerabilities, I help you build an empowered, dynamic relationship with yourself, your loved ones, and daily life.

 

My journey has evolved from the creative world to health and healing. I bring a unique blend of experience from art, gallery and museum culture, mindfulness, and spirituality, integrating these elements, along with a bit of humor, into a compassionate, relational, and holistic approach to healing and personal growth. Passionate about social justice and an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, I am here to help clients transform their pain into opportunities for empowerment, self-discovery, and embracing their own mindful cushion.
