I successfully treat relationship breakdowns, alcohol, drug, eating problems, depression, dual-diagnosis, anxiety, trauma, bariatric surgery patients. Individuals and couples address how the misuse of substances impacts their lives in negative and unproductive ways. We seek solutions together to more satisfying lifestyles and relationships. I work with couples and individuals having difficulties in relationships, wanting to resolve problems rather than separating or divorcing as their only solution. I work to separate past hurts from present reality. As an Equine Therapist, I use horses and exotic farm animals as requested.

The work of being human is hard. It takes many forms for all of us, but no one escapes pain, loneliness, confusion, and chaos. There are seasons of these experiences, as well as fulfilling and joyful ones for us all. I am interested in bringing fierce curiosity to your experience and what these moments look like and mean. After a decade of leading a company as CEO I am very aligned with other leaders and undoing the loneliness experienced by these roles. I have training in couples therapy that I also bring into cofounder and co-worker dynamics. Pressure, anxiety, performance "impostor's syndrome" are my specialties.

I offer psychotherapy through the life cycle and I believe that each of us brings our unique history and experience to each relationship, with our partner, our children, our colleagues, friends and families. Through dialogue and learning deep empathy and understanding of ourselves as well as our partners, we can learn to trust, heal old wounds and love more deeply, and find deep satisfaction within ourselves and in our relationships.

I specialize in working with bright, motivated clients who are professionally driven. I bring a social and racial justice lens to therapy, exploring the impact of immigration, ethnic & racial identity, and cultural issues that impact client's personal and professional lives. Life transitions, relationship challenges, experiences of loss, issues around acculturation, & family difficulties can lead to a sense of isolation and unrest. Whether these experiences happen in childhood or adulthood, their impact can be difficult to shake. They leave an influence on how we view ourselves, others, and our approach to new situations.

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! I appreciate your courage in seeking therapy. This can feel like a huge step, but it's really like having skilled companionship on a safe, self-paced journey, customized specifically for you. Problems can feel overwhelming and that's when concentrated focus is important for relief. Sometimes just a "tune-up" is nice. Either way, you'll find me client-centered, compassionate, and non-judgemental. I'm a trauma recovery specialist (single incident or complex). I'm skilled in helping clients overcome depression, anxiety, grief, loss, relationship/parenting conflict, life transitions, & more.

Hi, thanks for checking out my profile. Many of my clients are creative types, animal lovers, adventurers, and wild hares. In session we talk about issues like life goals & transitions, relationship ups & downs, emotions & expression, and self esteem. At times I suggest homework assignments like journaling or creating a collage that represents the current issues you are struggling with. Other times we just talk about what you have going on in your life, both the good and the bad stuff. It's nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of and to help you tap into your inner knowing and intuition. How do you find the right path for you?

Being a human is complex. While some times allow for us to experience joy, pleasure, and fulfillment, other times may leave us feeling stuck, entrenched in patterns, disconnected from ourselves and others, or find it challenging to navigate the obstacles ahead. My role is to support clients in deepening their understanding of how they got to where they are, process experiences that influence present day reactivity and relationship patterns, shed feelings of inadequacy, reclaim their sense of agency, and re-author the narratives that bind them to create room to lead a more meaningful, fulfilling and satisfying life.

How is everybody doing? If you are feeling overwhelmed, confused, or exhausted, I assure you, you are not alone. We are living in extraordinary times. Times that require we change. But how and to what? My areas of expertise include grief and loss, trauma, and transitions across the life span. I came to my work as a psychotherapist by first working through the body where I found a deep body/mind connection I could not ignore. Throughout my work in this field, I have facilitated psychoeducation and support groups in diverse contexts, including as an adjunct professor developing courses in a counseling psychology graduate program.
