Please email only, easiest to reach me. I’m offering telehealth only at this time. I have been working with individuals and families for two decades. My current specialties include individuals and elders. My training is primarily attachment-based, relational, and emotionally focused therapy as well as jungian focus. And I am fascinated with how we are going to all age well in this culture, so I very much enjoy working with people adjusting to later life. I have also learned since a fairly young age that there is a ton of grief we all need to attend to, I appreciate offering support while people are dealing with pain.

My counseling style is eclectic and client focused with a systems perspective. I have experience working with children, adolescents, individuals, families and couples. I believe that people act or behave with the intent of feeling good, but often develop coping behavior along the path of life that no longer serves them. I assist clients in identifying and connecting with the positive intent behind "dysfunctional behavior", and discovering new methods of coping that lead to a more balanced and joyful journey through life.

I'm an out-of-network provider offering superbills. Pain without meaning is chaos. Where does it hurt and what does that pain need to say? What needs to be different? Do you feel stuck in a painful past of childhood trauma, sadness, anger, overwhelm, heartbreak, or grief? Is it all too much and you just need to talk to start? We may not figure out every 'why'; it's about not being alone with that pain and changing your relationship with it. My hope is you emerge empowered, connected, brave, and clear about who you are and what you need. How can I help while we're on this weird, little wet rock?

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 to accomplish these goals, so I make technique adjustments for each case. I genuinely 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.

At our core, I believe we are all uniquely perfect. There may be things that get in the way of our realizing our wonderfulness and potential such as trauma, grief, crisis, old ideas, habits, negative patterns of thinking about ourselves, others or our lives. We all need support, new information or skill building at times in life. I bring fresh perspectives and serve as a positive guide and collaborator to people who wish to grow and change. Developing an authentic, trusting rapport, rich in empathy and acceptance are the foundation upon which functional, joyous, harmonious and fulfilling lives can evolve.

One of the hardest things I have ever done, was asking for help while in the midst of personal crisis. While on our journey through life, loss and change are inevitable. The most challenging moments, although difficult, are also opportunities for growth and self-examination. I would be honored to be part of your journey.
