Well-being involves having awareness of and connection to your self plus good connections with others. If you have struggled with distracting from your own experience, are lost in negative self evaluation, or if you have lost your curiousity about the world, face roadblocks or obstacles to your creativity and want to get relief, reclaim a sense of aliveness, vitality, presence, purpose or optimism - then I can be of help to you. I developed Emotional Pilates - the focus is on helping you build your core emotional strength, balance, flexibility and resilience, including learning how to speak your true experience.

Psychotherapy is a sacred trust. The feelings and issues that bring you to therapy can be seen as messages from deep inside, urging you to grow, to heal, and to achieve your true potential. How you form a relationship with your therapist and with yourself inaugurates a process that can change your life. Having been a therapist for over 40 years, I deeply value honesty, authenticity, and the power of embodied presence. Together, we blend compassion and insight, challenge and support, and always respect your own inner wisdom as a guiding light for the healing of body, mind, heart and spirit.

I recognize how challenging it can be to make sure our basic needs are met without neglecting our mental health. I applaud your bravery in taking the first big step towards a happier and healthier version of yourself. I understand that the healing process is never a straight line. Some days look and feel great, while other days seem impossible to get through. My goal isn’t to provide you the “perfect” life, instead I wish to assist you in garnering the tools necessary to approach difficulties and challenges in a healthy and productive way.

Choosing new possibilities is a courageous act. If you’ve found your way here, you may be feeling deep sadness, loneliness, anxiety, a sense of frustration or just simply exhausted. Perhaps you're curious to discover and create a new relationship with yourself, your partner(s), or the work that you do in the world. When it comes to sexuality, love, or our work, many of us are carrying around old stories, misinformation, and the pain of difficult experiences that we want to be free of. If you are wrestling with love/sexuality or feeling drained by work that once felt exciting and no longer does, I can help.

The challenges of growing up in today's rapidly changing society are enormous. Children need to be equipped with skills for survival and growth that were never before imagined. I focus on teaching self-healing and self-control techniques that empower youth to develop the emotional skills necessary for a happy and successful life and realize their potential throughout their lifetime.
Using the positive power of their imagination, children learn to reduce stress, deal effectively with anger and frustration, reduce stomachaches, headaches, and tics, cope with divorce and death, reduce parental and sibling conflicts, increase concentration, sleep peacefully, and more.

At time we can find ourselves trapped in a repetitive cycle that brings us down and leaves us feeling hopeless. I've been there before. In these times, it's common to experience a sense of "being stuck" or "lost". My aim is to assist individuals in navigating through these challenges by empowering them to confront their anxiety head-on and cultivate a life characterized by resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth. My expertise is in working alongside young adults, fostering their self-esteem and guiding them in transforming negative thought and behavior patterns.

Feel empowered now. It's hard to know when to look for help. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, relationship difficulties, or persistent feelings of sadness and anxiety, sometimes it can be too much. As a therapist, I've worked collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families for over a decade to explore current problems and develop solutions.

I am dedicated to helping children, teenagers, and adults through individual psychotherapy, play therapy, parent coaching, parent-child work, and couples therapy. In my work with children and teens, I integrate playful techniques to create a safe and engaging environment. Play is not just fun-it's a powerful tool for expression and understanding, helping young clients articulate emotions and experiences they might not yet have the words for. With adults, my approach remains insight-driven and reflective. Together, we will explore past experiences and current patterns to gain a deeper understanding of your internal landscape.
