Life is not easy. We inevitably experience obstacles that interfere with relationships and ability to take care of our responsibilities. At these times, it can be tremendously valuable to find a safe place to ally in self-exploration with a trusted individual who can offer new perspectives. The right therapeutic relationship built on mutual trust and transparency is powerfully transformative. This takes courage, and I honor your willingness to take this step.

I became a therapist after years of working in the performing arts in New York City. My work continues to be influenced by my trainings in dance and somatic modalities from that time. I describe my therapy style as warm, direct, and open, all housed within a creative sensibility. Folks I work with hold a variety of intersecting identities and bring a wide variety of concerns, stressors, and challenges into session. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns and more.

We are all capable of learning to better navigate life's challenges. During these unprecedented times of stress and uncertainty, relational therapy can help. I believe in your capacity to set goals, improve coping skills, feel more secure in relationships, and process trauma. Therapy helps us learn to uncover strengths and regulate emotions so that life feels more manageable. I utilize training in Brainspotting and Mindful Awareness in Body-Oriented Therapy. Techniques in session support healing through trauma-informed interventions that center on mindful co-regulation, narrative therapy, and internal family systems work.

We all get caught in suffering sometimes. We all lose our way and struggle with finding the next step. If you relate to that, I can help provide support and shine a light on the places that can change. I can help you reprocess trauma, navigate difficult relationships, and deal with Codependency, especially through EMDR and Mindfulness. We can also work to address the resulting depression and anxiety you face. Life invites us to move through the old, open up, and learn new ways of stepping into this present moment with increased strength and empowerment.

I think most of us realize that it is an understatement that life can be challenging working through the trauma(s) large or small that we may have experienced throughout our lives, and dealing with our relationships with family (partners, our children, parents other family members) friends and our jobs. My approach to therapy has been based the belief that that we each have an ability to heal, and that we each have an inner wisdom and intuition to know what we each need to work on and to know when we are ready to work on particular issues.

I help people learn to practice self compassion. Past experiences can cause us to think negatively about ourselves and the world around us. We can improve our mental health and our relationships with others by understanding who we truly are and why we think the way we do.

My view is that all people are capable of finding their own answers within and are already whole and complete. But sometimes hurts in life, trauma, mental health challenges or relational conflicts can keep a person stuck. I know that therapy is a process that facilitates change and walking along side with a person in their journey of personal growth has been a privilege for me for over 10 years. I have experience in working with trauma and PTSD, Anxiety disorders, depression, relationship problems, substance abuse, difficulties with emotional regulation, and Eating disorders.

I am a psychologist experienced in helping children, teens and adults. My experiences in the mental health field began in 1981 and include working with the seriously mentally ill, treating traumatized children, and working with the oppressed. These experiences have taught me the importance of maintaining compassion for others even when they are in extreme states or are easily wounded. Working with different cultures has taught me to respect the world view and values of others. My background helps me to understand struggles of all types with a greater depth and sensitivity. All problems, worries and concerns are significant and deserving of a serious approach.
