In my practice, I believe we have two types of relationships: the relationship we have with ourselves, and the relationships we have with others. When you have been hurt by others, it may become more challenging to love yourself. You begin to think, “ What did I do wrong?”, or “They didn’t want me, so I’m not worth loving”. When you struggle to love yourself, it further negatively impacts your relationships (also known as “emotional baggage”) and a cycle begins.

It takes a lot of courage to take that step forward and seek help. At some point, the pain of staying where you are can become overwhelming, and you're ready for something to change. You are not alone! I will work to hold a safe space for you and walk beside you as we explore both your strengths and your long-standing behavior and thought patterns that have supported you in the past but maybe aren't serving you anymore.

I have been working with adolescents, adults and couples for over 30 years. I do both traditional "talk therapy" as well as expressive arts therapy in my fully equipped studio (on site). I specialize in helping people with life transitions (separation, divorce ) and provide Co-parenting mediation services for families living in bi-nuclear households. I have extensive training in trauma resolution, the Enneagram, current brain science, Gestalt therapy and process work. I have had the honor of working with many individuals and families over the years and I have a strong commitment to improving my skills and techniques every year.

My ideal clients are adults and couples who are navigating life’s challenges, whether they are facing overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others.

They may be seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, improved communication with a partner, or relief from persistent emotional struggles. Their goal is to restore balance, regain control over their lives, and create stronger, more meaningful connections with their loved ones and within themselves.

Life is difficult to navigate alone. Together, we can explore and focus on how you would like to live your life, rather than focusing on how you lived your life so far. My expertise is in helping individuals and couples cope with life's various challenges. Throughout the years of my helping profession, I have worked with clients from 0 to 110 years old of diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds! I have experiences providing intensive case management services to caregivers/families and elderly residents, particularly family members of dementia patients in convalescent facility settings.

First, I want to honor and acknowledge your courage in seeking therapy. I believe that all individuals have the ability to seek growth, connect to their values, and are generally trying to do their best with the cards that life has dealt them. My hope as a therapist is that I can provide you with an authentic and safe connection that provides a space for you to tap into your ability to heal. In therapy I will work as your ally from a non judgmental stance and respect your own individual sense of agency.

I know that we are living in unique and challenging times. It can sometimes be difficult to navigate the life stressors that come our way, especially when those stressors lead to disruptions in our ability to cope and function the way we wish to. I understand the importance we place on developing and maintaining strong and supportive interpersonal relationships with our families, our children, our partners, and our communities. I also am a strong believer in the need to have a therapist who can listen, support, and offer you real tools to manage stressors and mental health issues.

People come to see me to talk about what's going on in their minds, their spirits, their lives. I work with people on whatever level they wish. For some of you, this is about finding a way to communicate with other people. For some, this is about managing your own emotions such as anger or fear or sadness, or dreams or nightmares, or traumatic stress, or cravings and triggers. Some people want to develop pathways to successful personal change. Some want to dig deeply into their minds, even into their consciousnesses. I can walk with you on your journey into yourself.

I help folks who grew up in highly stressed, conflictual, or dysfunctional families of origin, who didn’t receive emotional attunement from their parent(s), who were abandoned, neglected, excessively criticized, and/ or abused - due to unresolved parental trauma, narcissism, substance abuse, and/or mental illness. I offer support with grieving that experience, managing anxiety, growing self-worth and confidence. I’ll coach you in recognizing and honoring your feelings, finding your voice, setting boundaries, and asserting your needs in relationships.
