It’s time to step into a life of wholeness. Whether the past keeps you from moving forward or the thought of the future makes you fearful, you can begin to heal and grow as you resolve the effects of challenges that have kept you from living a fulfilling life. I specialize in promoting healing in the counseling process through addressing the whole person, spirit, mind, and body. Behavioral patterns and negative beliefs and perceptions may be preventing you from experiencing a life with hope and meaning.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe in treating the whole person, and I work closely with other professionals as needed in order to help clients with difficulties in both mind (motivation, depression, stress management, anxiety, learning disabilities) and body (autoimmune disorders, chronic/complex pain, cancer). I am particularly interested in helping clients who are coping with multiple stressors (e.g., relationship problems, career issues, health concerns, trauma). I believe it is essential that each client's treatment strategy is tailored specifically to his or her needs, style of interaction, and ability to work toward specific goals.

STAR is a 9 day/9 night healing retreat. We do four retreats per year. Our retreats are based on Pre and Perinatal Psychology. We provide an emotionally safe and supportive environment in which a participant can begin to drop his or her mask and defenses, reconnect to his heart and feelings, and get back in touch with her authentic self and essence. The STAR process works with grief, anger issues, anxiety, depression, and other issues that can benefit from reconnecting experientially with one's heart and essence.

With over 30 years experience in individual and couple psychotherapy, I learned to tailor my treatment to the SPECIFIC needs of each person or couple. I help patients identify dynamics that hold them back and keep them isolated and unfulfilled. With couples, I identify deep core issues that maintain disconnection and conflict, leading to improved understanding, empathy and renewed love for each other. Changes brought about by this treatment are not meant to be temporary but long lasting as people learn skills and make use of tools that will continue to be available to them well after treatment is over.

My goal is to provide a safe trusting environment to empower & motivate clients to explore issues in their lives that have contributed to the development of maladaptive thinking & behavior patterns. These patterns are often not recognized as problematic and can contribute to making "poor decisions" such as substance abuse, overeating, blaming, relationship problems etc.... By resolving these issues and changing these patterns clients can discover personal growth, happiness & improved satisfaction with their lives.

I specialize in the care of both adolescents and adults. I am passionate about maternal mental health, and have a highly successful record in treating anxiety & depression. I love trauma recovery, building self-esteem and preferred futures. In addition, grief & loss issues are very close to my heart, having lost both parents within 4 months of each other. For this reason also, I am eager to offer home visits to the elderly, especially those with limited mobility, understanding all too well, the lonely price of lost love and empathetic to life imposed limitations. My clients seek and gain personal insight and life lasting tools.

I love walking alongside women in midlife and supporting them in being who they most desire to be. Midlife is a time where our childhood wounds may resurface. Even though it can be painful, this allows us to heal the wounds of our past, and create a more fulfilling second half of our life. These wounds can be triggered by changes in life such as divorce, death, children leaving home etc. This can be a time to heal yourself and while doing so, you may also be healing your relationships.
