It is my belief that even though people seem to differ in their inborn ability to handle life's stresses, their resiliency and sense of mastery can be cultivated. My therapeutic approach is to help my clients live a more hopeful and meaningful life. Being the oldest child of a Dutch family of Holocaust survivors, I "learned" how trauma and resiliency gets transmitted from one generation to the next. My fascination of learning how the body keeps the score, my interest in helping people be securely attached and engaged with each other all brought me to this exciting calling.

Do you sometimes feel lonely, frustrated, or unsure about how to parent your child (neurotypical, neurodiverse, highly sensitive, biological, foster, adopted, step-child or inner child)? Has your child received a recent diagnosis and you are wondering what it means and how to start helping them? Is your family experiencing high parental conflict or has been through a recent life transition and needs guidance and support? Or, perhaps, raising your child has caused you to re-examine your own childhood and relationships with members of your family of origin? If so, I would love to be on your "team".

I help people access their strengths, find clarity within, understand mind-body signals and enjoy an improved sense of fulfillment in life - even in hard times. We look at how individual well-being exists within extensive structures beyond the self. My therapeutic style aligns well with people who are struggling with the overwhelming state of the world, feeling out of touch with their deepest dreams and values, and dealing with stressful life transitions in relationships, work, and beyond. The above scenarios may manifest internally in the form of depression, anxiety, grief, burnout and feeling disconnected from yourself and others.

I will work with you to attend to your mind, body, & spirit. It is common for people who have experienced significant life changes, challenging relationship dynamics, or trauma to feel a sense of disconnection from their inner self, their bodies, & their relationships. It often feels as if the weight of your experiences are blocking you from fully engaging in your present life. I specialize in helping you heal these barriers to growth & building unity within yourself & your relationships. My approach is grounded in anti-oppression, queer, feminist, & consent theories and is poly, kink, sex-worker, & gender-identity affirming.

Couples who are in a life transition or going through changes may be facing new and different challenges. They benefit from having in-depth discussions around issues to gain more clarity, relief, and solidify their foundation so that they can be a stronger partner for one another. When they work together to improve communication and better conflict resolution, they are more equipped to create more intimacy, understanding, and a general sense of collaboration in the relationship. Individuals are also able to benefit from 1:1 support to better their interpersonal relationships.

Becoming a parent is life-changing in many ways. Some we can prepare for, but many we cannot. I have a special interest in working with mothers struggling with anxiety or depression related to pregnancy, adjustment to becoming a parent, traumatic birth experience, infant or child hospitalization, or having difficulty with breast or bottle feeding. I also have a passion for helping youth who have experienced trauma and can help decrease symptoms of depression, anxiety, behavior problems, sexualized behaviors, and trauma-related shame, while improving social competence and trust. I am trained in CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT and Mindfulness.

Life is a journey! Do you feel overwhelmed, distressed, disconnected or lost, is your life hard to navigate. I believe that compassionate, reflective therapy can help restore vitality and renew hope. Individuals, couples, children/families, experience emotional struggles and challenging behaviors because of the impact of a variety of past and present variables, not because of weakness. Symptoms/Behaviors are simply indicators of need, and actually illuminate innate strength that guides healing. I'mabout collaborating with you to build strengths, explore barriers to enjoyment of life, and create a joyful resilience.

My passion is to work with BIPOC women and families surrounding issues involving disabilities, trauma, relationship struggles, blended families, and the military. It is important for us to discuss values that you may hold closely so we can work toward aligning those values with your therapeutic goals. I want to support your healing process and help you tap into your inner self. I will challenge you and encourage you to dig deep during our time together. I don’t think that therapy has to be serious all the time; I believe that therapy is something where you should laugh, cry, yell, and feel all of the feelings!
