I believe everyone has the capacity and ability to change and improve their life and it's my privilege to help guide people along the way in therapy. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for all my clients to explore, share, and discuss anything, to work together to find new ways to be in this world, and work on healing the past. We all have messaging we tell ourselves and so often it is unhealthy and can lead to negative self-talk, lower self-esteem, and stop us from living our best life. I work with each client to help uncover their roadblocks and find new ways forward.

I bring curiosity, warmth, and humor to my relationships with clients in therapy. I enjoy working with teenagers and adults who are looking for support through times of growth and change. These periods can be catalysts to cultivating a deeper understanding of who we are. I use a holistic approach, drawing from a variety of theories and modalities, to provide a wide array of emotional and behavioral tools. I look forward to helping you work toward specific goals, or provide support on an ongoing basis.

Working with clients has taught me each client, couple, and/or family is unique and deserves a treatment plan that is formulated to their needs. I have discovered that my job is to meet the client where they are and to utilize a modality or set of modalities that best serves my clients. I have learned to help clients peel back the layers so you can address what brought you into therapy. I am happy working with individuals as well as people in relationships, couples, and people with open and polyamorous relationship styles. My goal is to help give you the tools to improve all the relationships in your life.

Are you struggling to make meaning of your life? Have you lost connection to your true nature? Perhaps you are no longer experiencing a sense of belonging? Therapy is a bridge that leads you to understand more about yourself and realize that you have choices and untapped resources within you. It can be difficult to call a therapist, however, I encourage you to take the first step to cross over that bridge. What waits on the other side is enhanced awareness of your relationships, insight into the roots of your problems, and ultimately a feeling of inner peace and harmony.

If you’ve been trying to change thoughts, feelings, actions, and reactions without success, it’s not your fault. You’ve been trying to change unconscious, root beliefs with conscious processes. Talking about it, feeling bad about it, journaling, reading books, and other typical “therapy” approaches do not usually shift what is going on below the level of consciousness.

When you're focused on upholding responsibilities and maintaining an image of strength, it can be incredibly difficult to acknowledge your own deeper needs. The pressure to appear capable and composed leaves little room for vulnerability, making it challenging to seek help, or even recognize that you need it. Over time, this can lead to feeling isolated, burned out, and disconnected from what really matters to you, as the demands of daily life take center stage.

Your teen is under intense academic pressure, whether from high school demands or the overwhelming transition to college. The stress of grades, exams, and future decisions has led to anxiety, overwhelm, and deep self-doubt. They may feel lost, unsure of who they are or what they want, with expectations from themselves and others only adding to their burden. Technology and social media, once sources of escape, now fuel feelings of isolation, comparison, and inadequacy. You know it's a pivotal moment in their life, and it breaks your heart to see them struggle. You wish you had the right tools to guide them through these challenges.

For over 30 years, I have specialized in working with individuals and couples who are looking for a deep, transformative experience in therapy that resolves core issues and not just symptoms. I help my clients heal life long attachment wounds and change deep seated negative patterns, facilitating a greater capacity for intimacy, joy, inner peace, and confidence. I draw upon several approaches including EMDR for the resolution of past trauma and addictions, psychodynamic (childhood issues), Couples Systems, Jungian dream analysis, meditative practices, somatic focused therapy, and techniques from the latest neuroscience research.
