As a psychologist, an acupuncturist, and a master addiction counselor, the center of my work is the calling of the psyche, the soul. I draw on the work of CG Jung, existential psychology, Buddhist and Daoist philosophy, and other spiritual, philosophical, and cultural traditions, along with my own intuitive awareness and background as a person in recovery. I incorporate acupuncture, qigong, meditation, and other elements of Chinese medicine where appropriate and if desired. I often work with those who are interested in ‘off the beaten path’ perspectives, those for whom more conventional approaches have been insufficient.

My approach to therapy comes from the belief that within each of us is an inner wisdom, that when accessed will guide us to new insights, answers, relief and even healing from our burdens and struggles. I believe we are all designed to find healing, when we do our own, honest "soul searching" or inner exploration. Richard Schwartz, developer of the Internal Family Systems model, stumbled upon an approach to navigating our internal systems through work with his clients. He discovered that we all possess the positive qualities of calmness, compassion, confidence, courage, etc. when connected to this source of inner wisdom.

Going through the motions and feeling overwhelmed in day to day tasks and relationships can be exhausting. Your ability to be the person you once were can seem out of reach, or never even seems to have existed. The emotions you feel seem to be running the show and you desire change. Hopelessness, worry, and sadness do not have to be your story. You want to feel at peace, empowered, and confident. I can help you identify areas in your life that may be contributing to some of your current stressors, frustrations and relational challenges and how to move forward. I work with adolescents and adult women.

We all have times where we need someone to listen. Sometimes, we don't even know why we feel unsettled. We are not broken or need to be fixed. We have the capacity to heal inside of ourselves. My job is to assist clients to find that voice inside, that "self" leadership that is our best guidance to our authentic self. I believe therapy is a parallel process where I walk next to you and I hold the space for your healing. Our work together is an opportunity for you to find your true north. Our work together will be what you want to accomplish and a deep discussion about your needs, issues and desires.

Healing is possible! From my own personal journey, I've come to understand that healing is not always a straightforward process. It often comes in waves, presenting us with opportunities to revisit past hurts with a newfound sense of insight and understanding. Life is full of challenges, and it takes courage to navigate them. I like to think of it as sailing through storms that come and go. Some storms are worse than others, but eventually, they pass, leaving us knowing we can get through even the worst of times.
