It can be so frustrating when your child is experiencing emotional and behavioral issues. It can often feel like you have tried everything and nothing has worked. I have extensive training and experience with Play Therapy and Family Therapy. This expertise has allowed me to be an integral part of the healing that occurs when both the family and child are given the opportunity to work together on problems in a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering environment.

Are you experiencing grief, a recent life transition, or life crisis? Are you having unresolved conflicts? Through therapy you can process through your emotions, gain greater self-awareness, recognize your resilience, and find inner freedom from your attachment(s). Until our emotions settle, our perception of ourselves, others and life can seem to be distorted or color-blinded. I believe that the core of healing is reconciliation between the different relationship conflicts within ourselves and others. I am here to provide a safe environment to process your struggles, and to help you find your own coping skills to manage your life.

Congratulations on taking this major step towards seeking a higher quality of life, whether for yourself or a loved one! While many people can identify the source(s) of their concerns, others feel a vague, lingering discontent but have difficulty finding the words to describe what they are seeking. Your concerns require a unique, targeted approach to building goals. Areas of focus might be intentional life reconstruction, blended and bi/multi-cultural families, our LGBTQ communities, helping resolve stress related to grief/loss/trauma, multi-generational ripple effects of mental illness and trauma, and concerns specific to aging.

We all have hardship and emotional distress. In such times, it can be difficult to go through it alone. Facing these challenges with someone who guides and supports in a thoughtful way, can help to find deeper understanding. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Once a safe environment is provided, people find strength to realize their possibilities and discover their own solutions. One of the important goals of therapy is to activate your capacity for healing from within.

Life presents obstacles, expected and unexpected. These experiences can be tough, especially if you feel there isn't someone you can share with. Even if we have a solid support network, we can face stigma and personal barriers that prevent us from opening up. Therapy can create a safe space to address internal or external conflict, seek personal growth, and restore balance in our lives. I love working with teens, adults, and senior adults. I am most effective with clients presenting with depression & anxiety, grief, life transitions, and family/relational conflict by prioritizing stabilization, managing symptoms, and building hope.

It takes strength and courage to make this investment and commitment to yourself.

It is also true that this suffering can be transformed and transcended. Through this transformation it is possible to experience a more connected relationship with the world within and around us. I am open to serve those experiencing PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, and spiritual confusion. I am also open to serving those interested in cultivating meditation and other spiritual practices, and generally enhancing quality of life.

Personal discovery and growth is one of life's greatest challenges but also provides one of life's greatest rewards. Through my own healing journey to address childhood trauma, I did many years traditional talk therapy. While I found this to be helpful, it wasn’t until I discovered somatic experiencing (SE) therapy that I began to experience a deep settling in my body and mind in a relatively short period of time. This settling of the nervous system can lead to a newfound sense of feeling present and engaged in life. One gains more capacity to experience positive emotions, tolerate negative emotions without becoming overwhelmed.
