Together we can work to identify obstacles and formulate strategies to help you unlock your full potential, pursue your goals, and make the changes you are seeking.

Do you need support finding your life’s purpose? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you find it difficult to feel pain and face your shadows? While considering the whole person- heart, soul, mind and body, I trust that you enter therapy having the insight you need to navigate your distress. I use the term "depth emergence" to explain my orientation and approach. It stems from depth psychology, which emphasizes gaining access to the unconscious and bringing it into consciousness. While increasing awareness we derive meaning, evolve, and transform.

Wounds, whether they are physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, inflicted in the early stages of life can live on and be present in the daily moment to moment life experience. Children and adults alike can have difficulty moving on and developing optimally in life after experiencing adverse or traumatic events. In many cases issues such as depression, anxiety, panic, fear and other debilitating mental and/or emotional challenges may be related to such experiences. I offer support to those who have experienced intentional or unintentional pain or abuse heal and recover from those memories, and issues unrelated to early life.
