I believe we all have the ability to live meaningful lives. And that we all have the potential to heal past traumas, develop new strategies for coping, and grow into the people we want to be. As a therapist, I meet you where you are and, without judgment, maintain a deep sense of curiosity about you and where you want to go. Therapy can play a critical role in unearthing patterns and fully exploring the path that led you to this moment. It can also help you map the way forward through understanding, discovery and clarity. I consider it a privilege to help you along this journey.

Full, no waitlist, unfortunately. Please check here again, I update this listing when I have openings. I specialize in supporting those who may be creative, intuitive, neurodivergent , or “outside the box” thinkers. Your strengths and interests can be such powerful resources for healing and understanding yourself. Trauma, shame, anxiety, depression, and other challenges can make it really hard to find direction for ourselves, and can impact our relationships.

Life is difficult to navigate in the best of circumstances. We often carry with us a past that influences how we interact with others, our perception of the way others interact with us, and the patterns we form in our relationships. You do not have to navigate these waters alone. Therapy can help support your individual, family and relationship goals. I understand it takes courage to ask for help and I want to make the process easy for you.

I am currently accepting new clients! Lately, it seems the intimate spark between you and your partner is dim at best. Connecting positively has been tacked onto the long list of chores to do rather than being part of your relationship that fuels the fire. Maybe you're struggling with conflict, balancing life, knowing each of your needs, or a sex life that feels pleasurable. At best, you find yourself in an unsatisfying status quo. At worst, you find shame, anger, guilt, or sadness fighting over who takes center stage between the two of you. Regardless, you and your partner can no longer find each other in your intimate moments.

I believe that in times of profound suffering, we search for meaning and purpose. After loss, we may need specialized support to navigate what is for many of us a forever changed landscape. It is natural to feel stuck and alone, lost, anxious or depressed. In therapy, we will explore and be with your grief in no predetermined format, while also reorienting to possibilities, new paths forward, and values. I truly believe that we can learn to survive traumatic losses and to experience joy and the richness of the present again while investing deeply in relationships. I am honored to witness your philosophical and spiritual journeys!

We are meant to share life's hardships with others, rather than be alone with our pain. So much suffering today stems from a sense of isolation and disconnection within our lives. I offer a therapeutic relationship based on unconditional acceptance and compassion; where you can feel support in creating healthier relationships, evaluate what you seek in life, and diminish pressures that hinder your growth and happiness. We live in a stressful, anxiety-provoking time. When we slow down and look at our own core values and how we would like to inhabit our lives, we give ourselves permission to make mistakes and grow.

Many eating problems were initiated by dieting and became an illness when the body's evolutionary defenses against starvation fought back leading to anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder. Our fat-phobic culture preaches limitless perfectibility and a duplicitous diet industry claims that permanent loss is possible and healthy.

I believe there is already more right with you than wrong with you. When you believe this as well, watch out, for the world will begin to reflect the new perspectives and energy you create. With good reason you arrived at a disbelief in your goodness, uniqueness and personal power to create a better life. Core beliefs are adopted early in life from challenge and trauma. They reside deep in the subconscious where they can be difficult to rewrite. I can help you replace old ways of thinking, feeling and acting with those that support growth, expansion and attainment of goals that lie beyond your current limiting beliefs.
