Move toward an authentic, more rewarding, life. Whether you're struggling with the same problems over and over, or just can't shake the feeling that something is missing from your life, my unique blend of supportive and exploratory psychotherapy can help. Uncover and change unconscious patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that may have served you at one time in your life, but now block you from living with spontaneity, creativity, and zest.

My work is based on a positive theoretical orientation which assumes that all individuals possess an innate desire for emotional/mental health. A person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints that are holding them back. I find that each individual needs a slightly different approach in order to accomplish these goals, so I make adjustments in technique for each specific case. I truly enjoy the experience of guiding my clients through this process and consider it a privilege to play such an important role in a person's life.

I believe that we all are doing the best we can with what we have at any given moment. However, even at our best life can be difficult. I am passionate about helping individuals understand themselves and their emotions, believe in their inherent goodness, and work towards cultivating and living life effectively and skillfully. My work includes treating depression and anxiety, processing grief and loss, navigating difficult life transitions, managing difficult emotions, working through unprocessed trauma and unpacking racial and cultural life factors that make life more stressful. I work with teens and adults throughout the lifespan.

In counseling, my passion is to offer support to mothers and parents of any gender in the perinatal period (including trying to conceive, pregnancy & pregnancy challenges/loss, birth & birth loss, postpartum and early parenthood), as well as to those healing from trauma, and exploring aspects of any identity you hold (around sexuality, race, gender, class, ability, etc) that need compassionate witnessing and support. I have worked as a certified domestic violence counselor, and am trained in EMDR through the Institute for Creative Mindfulness. I bring these skills to support our work together.

As a Licensed Psychotherapist I help people with feelings of anxiety, stress, panic, depression and disconnection. You might be struggling with low self worth or a relentless inner critic that affects your relationships, work or school performance.

I believe people are inherently oriented to heal and grow. Sometimes on the healing journey we need support to navigate difficult transitions, especially if old traumas are clouding our current vision. My role as a psychologist is to accompany you on your personal path. I welcome people with all types of concerns. I am especially experienced in treating people struggling with trauma, eating and body image issues, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, life transitions, relationship and parenting issues.

During the past 30 years of working as a psychotherapist, I have helped people with anxiety, depression, loss, relationship and work issues, and often just a general sense that something isn't right. As a Jungian and relational therapist, I am empathic, nonjudgemental, nonpatholgizing, and deeply interested in the uniqueness of each human being who comes to me. Warm and down-to-earth, I enjoy exploring deeper levels of experience but can be practical and provide suggestions and tools when that is what is needed.

When working with clients, I have a warm, collaborative approach that is rooted in an honest, non-judgmental stance. I approach treatment using a Cognitive Behavioral framework while also integrating interventions based on Internal Family Systems and Narrative therapy. With compassion and curiosity, we will explore your story and the core beliefs that shape your experiences.

Don't Give Up Yet! Just because you've tried therapy before, it doesn't mean that you have failed or that you can't have what you really need. Maybe you just haven't found the person who can get you there. Life doesn't have to be about hiding inside scared to go out, or continual overwhelm recovery mode, because you're afraid of being triggered by family, work dynamics, or issues with parents. Would you like to not have to constantly be holding all this stuff inside, exhausted, spinning, or caught in addictive or obsessive cycles? Maybe you're hoping someone can help you see through the noise, and get to the core.

My training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy. However this is only short-hand for working with you in a deep and resonant way. I primarily work with adults and children but also treat dyads (parents and their children, friends, and couples). We will take into account the ways your past has shaped the present. While, at the same time concentrating on how you are living life now in relation to your family, your friends, your workplace, your community, and of course your innermost self.

Being human is hard. We grow up often not taught how to feel, or be in healthy relationship with self and others. The isolation and loneliness make it even harder to process life's hardships. In turn, we develop ways of coping with stress and uncertainty, that become painful and limiting over time. Psychotherapy can be a space to unlearn these ways that are harming you, including systemic ones, dive deep into yourself, to meet all the parts of you, heal past traumas, personal, cultural and intergenerational.

All parts of you are welcome here. My goal in therapy is to meet you exactly where you are and guide you to exactly where you want to be. I believe that you are the expert in your life – even if you feel doubt, stuck, or defeated. Together we can collaborate and grow in that space, by clearing out old patterns that negatively impact your present and hinder your future, so you can look forward with hope and joy. I work with trauma and addiction over all the spectrum, offer gender and sexuality-affirming care, specialize in ENM/non-monogamy/polyamory, and can provide transgender affirming referrals letters.

We learn to survive and cope with our circumstances in the best way we know how at the time. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down and get to know what is really going on inside and to learn to listen to your body's natural wisdom. I am interested in collaborating with you to explore where you're feeling stuck, confused or overwhelmed. I can help guide you to discover new, more effective ways of showing up for yourself and in your relationships. My own love of nature and mindfulness meditation practice informs much of my work with clients.
