The hope and goal I have for my clients is to assist them in enhancing personal and familial relationships. As a social worker, I have had the wonderful opportunity to witness many positive changes in the lives of my clients. These positive changes include how my clients have relationships with others and how they come to view themselves. These components are an integral part of the therapeutic process and journey.

I work with clients who are struggling to function fully and effectively in some or all aspects of their lives. This struggle might arise from chemical dependency, mental health challenges, stage of life transitions, grief/loss, or the patterns that arise from early challenges, such as childhood trauma. My goal is to "tune in" to where you are and what you are needing in your life today, to be responsive to the particular needs of the individual, as a support, witness and guide.

I work with individuals, adolescents, families, and couples experiencing depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, anger, relationship issues, as well as those wishing to improve their life satisfaction and communication. From a psychodynamic lens, I create a supportive environment for my clients based on trust and connection. Growth becomes possible when we have the opportunity to reflect and gain insight in a non-judgmental setting. From this space we can begin to integrate aspects of ourselves that have been neglected due to challenging or painful experiences.

I aim to be a catalyst for creating hope, purpose, and meaning in a person's life. I help people to seek wholeness through integration of mind, body and soul (spirit) in order to expand their consciousness, so they can build the capacity to live more meaningfully.

There are times in our lives when we are presented with challenging circumstances. These experiences can be enormously difficult yet they also provide an opportunity for tremendous growth. The guidance and support of a trusted professional can be vital in regaining a sense of balance and ability to move forward in a positive way. What I have come to understand from my own life and education is that our suffering is often caused by losing connection to ourselves and others. With care and curiosity we can rebuild this sense of connection and foster the change necessary to create a healthy and meaningful life.

In my practice I blend together the art and science of psychotherapy with a strong focus on global change. My intention is to help you thrive. I use a comprehensive approach with a strong mind-body focus and integrate psychoanalysis with neuroscience. This helps to interpret properly and work more efficiently toward transforming maladaptive mechanisms that stifle your life. Often I use Neurofeedback, Biofeedback, and Photobiomodulation and work directly and noninvasively with the brain and the nervous system. This helps you self-regulate and embody change quicker, with less distress. In most cases the results are permanent.

My work as a therapist is to meet each individual in her own process with understanding and compassion. My background is in family systems, Jungian psychology, art, and Buddhist practice. I specialize in treating clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and/or trauma and those who may have suffered for some time without relief. Depth therapy often includes work with dreams, EMDR, art, and sand tray. I enjoy working with people from diverse cultures and orientations. As a supervisor for 25 years, I also enjoy working with interns on their way to licensure. Buddhist mindfulness practice informs my life and work.

To be happy and free of suffering ... this is the experience of effective therapy. When we're witnessed, deeply understood and guided to our true self, the challenges of being human can become magical. Blending multiple clinical orientations I work with the client's whole being - mind, body & spirit - to discover his/her own unique truths and capacities. Because so much of who we are is a function of our relationships, I gravitate toward couples, families and groups, teaching people how to relate to themselves and each other with refreshing honesty and authenticity.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a comfortable setting that allows you to get the greatest benefit from our work together. In addition to traditional office sessions, I offer flexible solutions including phone, teletherapy, or home visits. Emotional issues can trigger or make a significant contribution to anxiety, skin conditions, skin picking issues and hair pulling (trichotillomania) issues. Relaxation, visualizations, and a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy and body-focused psychotherapy can make the difference. You can take more control by discovering how to manage your emotional triggers and by developing strategies to alleviate anxiety, skin issues, skin picking, and hair pulling.

I help people struggling in relationships. I work well with insight-oriented individuals who want to explore their lives on a deep level and explore pathways for growth and change. I specialize in diagnosing and healing relational trauma from Narcissistic and Borderline abuse and helping clients create new narratives about who they are and how they want their lives to be. I believe we can rewrite our story and choose our own ending. My work is depth-oriented and psychodynamic, and I blend insight and intellect with humor (I've found a little lightness can create buoyancy as we navigate dark places).

We are living in very stressful times that challenge us to find meaning. Often the very painful issues that bring people to therapy -- anxiety and/or depression, difficulty with relationships, life-cycle transitions, trauma, illness, aging, lack of purpose and belonging -- present a wonderful opportunity for exploration, growth, and development. I especially enjoy working with individuals in transition, whether in early adulthood, mid-life, or the "third chapter" of older age and have a special place in my heart for those who struggle with feelings of not fitting in, living non-traditional lives or in non-traditional relationships.

Whatever your problems are - be they a longstanding sense of feeling "off" (anxiety or depression), struggles in important relationships, or a lack of meaning in work, you are looking for ways to move forward in your life. I offer psychodynamic therapy - an immersive and depth-oriented form of therapy that aims beyond symptom reduction to facilitate enhanced quality of life, a more vitalized sense of aliveness. I believe effective psychotherapy blends support and skillful challenge, and I am best suited to clients who are open, curious about themselves, and motivated to challenge old patterns and ways of relating to self and others.
