Therapy is a joint, collaborative process. In my experience, people begin to feel better when we unite in carefully exploring whatever the problem(s) may be. This takes time. If you are in a hurry or looking for a quick fix, I am probably not your person. I've spent over three decades researching, teaching and supporting psychological health, and one thing I am certain about is that deep, lasting change takes time. Many clients come with one pressing problem, and as we resolve that, other issues arise that merit attention.

I work with all types of clients, from "Type A" women who are intensely driven, but often feel exhausted from perfectionism-to individuals who have gone or are going through infertility and feel a loss of control-to postpartum women who are experiencing depression and/or anxiety.

They are interested in how their past traumas show up in their bodies and want to mobilize their pain, so that they can create new narratives and harness their innate power.

Currently accepting new clients aged 12 years and older.
