You need someone who listens very carefully. We all need to feel safe and supported. We need to talk to someone who can connect the dots and always give clear and honest feedback. We want to feel validated and empowered by your own strengths. Sometimes we need help fighting our demons. This may come from a history of abuse/trauma. From this abuse we may have anger and/or anxiety and depression or addiction. Our addictions could include Drugs and Alcohol, or Food. For some of us we may need help to understand how to communicate wisely in our relationships or we may need to help dealing with our loneliness, isolation and grief.

All of us are confronted with challenges on multiple levels during the difficult times in our lives. Maybe there's a feeling of being stuck, of not living in the flow of your life, difficulty making decisions, not getting restful sleep or feeling misunderstood. You might be having difficulty feeling compassion towards others or yourself. Maybe you are experiencing emotional anguish, grief or loss. During times of challenge we are called to live our lives with increased self-awareness and confidence, creativity and optimism.

You may be noticing that you don't feel like yourself and wondering if there's something wrong with you. Your relationship has changed, it's hard to get any work done or focus. You dread getting out of bed, which leaves you feeling guilty and stuck. Or maybe you just worry about everything. You want to connect more deeply with your friends, or to experience the love in your relationship that you used to feel. You want more excitement and meaning. And on top of it all, you feel that no one understands what you go through or you have no one to talk to about it: you feel alone.

Life can push us beyond our capacity to manage well. Therapy is a vehicle that can help you find healing and balance. I work with the whole of you. I nurture your spirituality which I believe is the root source of healing. As you more fully embody your integrated self, anxiety and depression can subside. A feeling of well-being arises, you become more open and can engage more authentically in your relationships. I embrace non-dual philosophy affirming our interdependence with the unified field which, when attuned to, naturally generates a deep sense of connectedness. Our work together can bring you to a new paradigm of living.

I believe that each individual already possesses the solutions to the challenges they face. My role as a counselor and a healer is to be a companion in the discovery of those solutions. I am a reliable guide with over 25 years of experience working with people of all ages. I specialize in helping people during major life transitions, times of grief & loss, and with trauma recovery. During my 11 years in Hospice, I learned how to help people navigate the many challenges that come with grief and loss. As a long time meditation instructor, one of the hallmarks of my practice is the use of meditation as a tool for healing.

My therapeutic approach is strengths-based and client-centered: I view therapy as a co-creative process in which we collaborate to meet your goals. I believe you already have the internal resources you need to heal and grow, and I am a guide. In addition to talk therapy, I utilize mind-body processes to draw out your inner strengths and resources, and to release stuck patterns that no longer serve you. My clinical interests are working with life transitions, decision-making, changing habit patterns, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, parenting challenges, couples communication, and personal and spiritual growth.

I enjoy working with clients who want to improve the quality of their relationships. As part of supporting clients in addressing relationship issues, my work can involve working with clients on individual issues such as reducing depression and anxiety. I assist clients in exploring and processing feelings that contribute to depression and anxiety with the goal of promoting individual well-being which, in turn, contributes to improvement in relationships. I utilize a collaborative approach that involves supporting clients in understanding how past life experiences and current life issues are impacting their lives. Connecting clients with strengths is a primary treatment goal.
