Life is complicated. Our history, experiences and trauma affect not only who we are but also how we interact with the world. Whether you are struggling with childhood memories, recent trauma or simply trying to find solutions to balance out life, we can process them together. Therapy is about going deep, processing the wounds that affect us and integrating them into our current selves in order to live productively and meaningfully in the world.

Do you want to wake up? Do you see that our thinking is conditioned and can never be the self? We are born into a dysfunctional culture that conditions us to suffer individually and collectively. This imprisons our minds into a certain way of thinking. As we see in our society, this thinking creates conflict and division within ourselves and others. Do you want to WAKE UP and break free of the conditions of the mind? Are you willing to question and dig underneath to discover the quiet essence that is you? No matter your age, I would love to guide you on your journey of letting go, Waking up, and living in joy, not sorrow.

Sometimes life has a way of throwing us challenges and we get stuck feeling like we are surviving day to day. These challenges can have profound impacts on our life. Being open to adopting the right mindset to how we navigate life situations that test our resolve and patience can help provide us with stability and grounding in light of these challenges.

I provide interactive tools to help you resolve personal struggles that commonly manifest as anxiety, panic, confusion, fear, depression, worry or relationship problems. By accompanying you in conversation about your problems, strengths, achievements and values; or through play, drawing or dream recall I help you identify the relationship between your feelings and needs. Understanding this relationship is vital for resolving problems with peaceful and direct communication and cultivates self-compassion. My aim is to provide a therapeutic process that is supportive, relieving, exciting, appropriately challenging, and rewarding.

I am a Licensed Psychologist Master with over thirty years experience in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse and neglect. Depression, anxiety, or just a sense of life feeling less than what it could be, may be signs of childhood abuse or neglect. I help people navigate the sometimes choppy waters from their past in order to be fully living in the present. I am trained by Pia Melody in Post Induction Therapy for addressing the effects of codependence: low self esteem, impaired boundaries, knowing who you are , and difficulties with self care. Trauma creates addictions creates relational problems.

My work's passion lies in my belief that the body and mind are deeply connected; therefore, the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of each individual need to be balanced for growth and healing to occur.

I acknowledge and respect that your search for health and balance in your life is unique.

Different problems force us to take stock in who we are and how we are living. We struggle through anxiety, sadness, trauma, loneliness; some of us have used unhealthy coping mechanisms to get by. Eventually, we come to learn that asking for help is one of the most powerful actions we can take.

I work with adolescents and adults who are interested in exploring and engaging their innate healing abilities, offering a safe and accepting space, a gentle approach for trust to form, and support to recover from grief, trauma, life transitions, and other life circumstances, toward experiencing greater life satisfaction.

For over 30 years, I've worked with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, and grief. My practice is guided by a deep appreciation for psychoanalytic thought and its clinical influence, effecting meaningful shifts in a person's internal and external life. I listen carefully, and while respecting the importance of confidentiality, as well as using empathy, honesty and sometimes humor, I encourage the exploration of conscious and unconscious thoughts/feelings. We explore the influence of unconscious wishes, fears and inhibitions which are often expressed in dreams, life choices or physical symptoms.

I believe that all people have the potential to be happy in their lives, regardless of what they have suffered. In therapy we develop self-awareness to clarify what is truly important to the person's life and whether they are living their life in accord with those values. Happiness also includes learning to have the right relation to negativity - to "compost" difficult emotions and situations to transform them into strength and resilence. I help the client use mindfulness/meditation practices to help encourage gratitude, which in turn dispels self-critical thinking that leads to depression and anxiety.

Change is possible. If we believe the research, therapy works regardless of the modal of therapy. Some of my clients value mind-body techniques, including Trauma Releasing Exercises®, Chinese Medicine, EMDR, and Emmett Techniques, to help change happen. Sometimes the most challenging part is starting.

The brain has an immense capacity to change and grow over a lifetime. Clinical research demonstrates even a few months of mindfulness practice can be effective in treating chronic stress, depression, anxiety, addictions, pain, illness, and can boost performance under pressure, enhance relationships, and improve enjoyment of work. I use my professional counseling training, teaching experience, and knowledge of neuroscience to develop with you a set of practical skills you can use daily. I will help you use your strengths to harness the power of your mind and develop skills to uncover more peace, joy, and freedom in your life!

I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is the greatest agent of change in therapy. Through cultivated trust, I support clients to explore darkness in order to find what brings them light and joy. I offer an approach focused on the needs, wants, and hopes of the person or couple in the room, which means that my approach varies on a client by client basis.

A compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can reflect, discuss and learn about your reactions, choices, unconscious beliefs, and challenges can lead to increased well-being. I bring an attitude of kind presence, safety, and respect to the journey of discovery, supporting you to transform disharmony and stagnation into clarity. You’ll gain skills, support, and strength to recognize triggers to anxiety, worry, stress, sadness, relationship and work issues, or other life challenges. You’ll also gain insight into your strengths and gifts, clarify priorities, and open paths that allow for wise action.
