I work with Older Millennial/Xennial/Gen X’ers who are spiritual seekers, ready to reclaim more of themselves and their power in mid-life so they can have deeper presence, joy, aliveness & connection. I also hold space for psychedelic journeys for people who want to go deep into consciousness to better understand themselves and life’s great mysteries (ind/grp/couples.) In addition, I teach and mentor other therapists and wellness practitioners on how to bring energy work into their practices to better support themselves and their clients so they can experience feeling more energized and inspired as they share their wisdom and gifts.

It takes courage to discover personal insight, to address current challenges, and/or to heal past wounds. And, we arrive to therapy for various reasons. Sometimes, we come as individuals, sometimes as a couple or a family. Together, we address your goals so that you can gain a better understanding of what may need to transform in order to live your best life-- whether it's a life transition, such as divorce or career change, the desire for different coping skills, addressing compulsions or addictions, experiencing loss and moving through the grief process, identifying a sense of purpose, or making sense of a traumatic experience.

Why can't you just listen? You just don't understand me! Despite your best efforts, it seems like you're always getting rejected or upsetting your loved ones. It's a battle that you shouldn't be fighting. You have the best of intentions, and don't want to cause pain but something always seems to go awry. The attempt to share how you feel ends up in a blow out, spiraling out of control. Trying to understand your loved ones results in disconnection. Peace, connection, warmth, love - these are the things you seek and miss the most. You're anxious to find a way to exist with others in an authentic way, but keep coming up short.

I specialize in addiction therapy with a particular expertise in working with adolescents, young adults, and families. My approach is tailored to the unique challenges and dynamics present within these age groups and family systems. I offer an alternative to traditional addiction treatment programs, focusing on understanding the root causes of addiction rather than solely addressing substance use. Through a collaborative and judgment-free therapeutic process, I work with clients to set goals and facilitate a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships

At times in our lives, we might find ourselves feeling stuck or stagnant. Self-limiting thoughts and beliefs or fears about the future can often create a struggle within our minds. Our mind is a powerful tool that can sometimes trick us into thinking we can only go so far or do so much. But here’s a little secret, we are actually more in control than we think.

Do you get stuck in cycles of negative thinking? Does it sometimes feel like your mind is working against you? Do you find it tough to turn off damaging self-talk and self-blame? This perpetual self-punishment can give rise to and worsen already challenging conditions like depression and anxiety, as well as sustain the effects of trauma. Wouldn’t it be a relief to break these patterns of destructive thinking? To improve self-esteem? To feel confident and worthy of engaging with others? I can help.

Hey! Whether you are new to therapy or not, I commend you for the bravery it takes to start searching. I hope that you will find I could be of service to you. In both my professional and personal journey, I have sought to learn how to find more peace, happiness, and fulfillment. As a therapist, my goal is to learn what that might look like for you, and explore how we get there. I want my clients to crave insight, and question "Why are things the way they are?" I work best with clients who are willing to consider alternative perspectives, experiment with change, and remains persistent despite obstacles or failures.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. Maybe you're feeling stuck, anxious, alone, in pain, or have the sense that something is missing. Many of my clients have childhood experiences of neglect or abuse, difficult attachment experiences, trauma, and other histories that continue to affect the present. Together we will collaborate to create a safe, compassionate space where all parts of you can be seen without judgement. We will explore the past, identify and transform old patterns, and develop a present that supports deeper connection to self and others. We'll even find moments of humor and joy.

As a therapist, I call upon a variety of practices to nurture each individual’s or couple’s personal process. With a background in movement, music, art and drama, I approach therapy as a creative pursuit rooted in clinical analysis. I have a trauma-informed approach, allowing space for the many layers of stress that our culture can bring about in an individual or within a couple. I draw on traditional psychodynamic, Gestalt, Emotionally Focused Couples therapy, and relational methodologies, while incorporating eastern philosophies, symbolism, somatics, and creative or spiritual practices.
