Greetings! I have had the privilege of practicing the art of psychotherapy for 47 yrs. and utilize a number of modalities: family of origin, shame reduction, enneagram, mindfulness, dream interpretation, cognitive therapy and DBT. The entry point to authentic healing and lasting growth, is the development of self awareness and self compassion. I guide my clients to realize their capacity to welcome current challenges, feelings and thoughts without judgment but with acceptance and curiosity. My approach is eclectic, respectful, highly interactive, compassionate and sometimes challenging. I suggest homework between sessions.

Don't you wish there was an on and off switch for our thoughts? Are you exhausted of over-worrying and wondering if people are judging you? I truly understand how distressing our mind can be and the tricks it can play on us. Anxiety is a response to stress or uncertainty, but when it starts to interfere with your daily life, it can be tough to manage on your own. We can work together to explore what triggers your anxiety, how it affects you, and find strategies that help you cope in a way that feels manageable and safe for you by understanding your thought processes, enhancing confidence, self-compassion, and understanding.

One crucial part of the therapeutic process is having a strong connection.

Everyone has their own unique story and I strive to help you heal and allow for you to share your story the way YOU want to. I hope to offer the comfortability in being able to work towards your goals and enhancing the quality of life for yourself. I have experience working with adults, with a trauma focused & informed approach, targeting depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

I believe that the courageous step of exploring therapy can lead to healing, growth, and a changed life. I have a passion for bearing witness to each individual’s unique story. My work as a trauma therapist has sparked a passion in me to create safety when a client has been completely robbed of their sense of security. I feel especially passionate working with those who identify with having trauma and clients that are navigating adolescence.
