You are here because you are hurting and want to heal. Healing is possible and you deserve love and acceptance for just being you- your full authentic self. I have been treating anxiety, depression, identity, codependency, eating disorders, low self esteem and relationships issues in children, teens and adults since 2007. My therapeutic style is often more directive, as I see myself as a part of your therapeutic process-not a quiet observer. I use a balance of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and exploring how your childhood shaped your current thoughts and behaviors.

I offer Sandplay therapy for adults and children, which is a powerful tool for processing big, often painful feelings without the expectation for having to articulate the feeling.
I work with women - mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters, and children, to help facilitate and enjoy healthy, loving relationships. Together we develop the insight and skills necessary to experience the pleasure of love. We may explore trauma, loss, grief, anger, repressed desire, lack of vitality, and current challenging relationships. My orientation is analytical, depth/archetypal, and feminist. I take into consideration the presence and power of the unconscious, and how it works to encourage our growth and renewal. I am committed to supporting women and women's empowerment, self-esteem, and capacity for love, peace, and ease.

Each challenge has the potential to spark profound personal development and transformation.
