A loss of balance that requires wanting to find answers out of the ordinary paths, leading to the gate of desire where unprecedented and unexpected changes may occur.
In a world where social links are easier than never, individuals may still feel disconnected and alone. For adults, this loneliness may stem from lacking the answers to fundamental questions such as "why am I suffering?" or "what would it take to live a more significant life?" For children, this alienation may provoke suffering from a human experience too premature to comprehend. Psychoanalysis provides a unique space, where stigmatization and standardization is lifted to give a new meaning to what constitute a fulfilled existence.

Let's get to the heart of these matters: anxiety, abuse, sexual assault, trauma, low self-esteem, wobbly boundaries, codependency, spirituality, grief, transitions, parenting, polyamory, ACOA issues, and quitting smoking.
Accurate support is about exquisite attention to what is needed so you can make your way back to the freedom of your natural flow. It’s about deep listening, presence and compassion as you press onward, with great care, into the discomfort where the healing lies. You show yourself that you matter by engaging with accurate support. Being true to yourself is a bold act of love and a demonstration of strength. It's possible to learn how to stop judging yourself, make choices that align with your insides, successfully navigate relationships, trust yourself and move into a heart-centered, peaceful life.

I have counseling experience working with adolescents, couples, individuals, and families struggling with a variety of emotional, psychological, and spiritual concerns, including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, couple stress and difficulty, grief and loss, adolescent issues, sexual pain and difficulties, life transitions, and self esteem issues.
Life is hard, and most of us experience symptoms of sadness and stress at some point in our lives. It can be overwhelming trying to understand the source of our pain and determine the best path for healing. It is my belief that relationships are both the cause and the context of healing for many of our difficulties. Unfortunately, many of us struggle in our relationships and find that they contribute stress and tremendous pain to our lives. I am passionate about offering support for the relationships in your life and helping them become a source of connection and trust.

My sincere apologies, I am not taking new clients at this time. I wish you the best in finding a good fit therapist. You may be looking for a therapist because of a crisis of some kind; a depression, a loss, anxiety, or trauma symptoms. I see crisis as an opportunity for growth and love being there for people in their time of greatest need. Crisis can be seen as an invitation to go inward and reflect on what is not working. As a trauma informed psychotherapist with a relational approach, I work collaboratively with clients to identify what is keeping you from living more fully so you can live a more integrated and healthier life.

My clients are often looking for something beyond skills, strategies and a diagnosis. I work best with people who are looking to really sort out what's going on in their lives, and who are interested in potent and lasting change. As an avid climber, skier fisherman, I frequently work with individuals from the climbing, skiing, mountaineering and other outdoor recreation communities. See my "groups" page to learn about my mountain grief group. I also work with people who are increasingly concerned about environmental issues or experience climate anxiety, grief or other feelings associated with environmental issues

Whether you are looking for an empathic ear or concrete coping strategies for yourself or your child, I use a strength-based and person-centered approach to psychotherapy. Please note that I do not accept any insurance payments, but instead accept cash, checks or digital currency (Venmo, e.g.).

In the therapeutic relationship, the psyche is held secure while debilitating emotions such as grief, depression, or anxiety are processed and transformed.
There are times when we need a caring professional to come alongside us like Virgil with Dante as we find our way through traumatic Infernos. Finding purpose and meaning in our troubles is impossible to do alone. Our soul suffers for lack of meaning -- something to fill the hollowness inside, besides material possessions and allusions of success. We long for something to bring light to the darkness of our mere existence. I would be honored to accompany you through your personal Infernos into the unfolding of your truer whole self.

Often the transitions in life offer the biggest opportunities for growth and emotional development - getting married, having children or not being able to have children, ending a marriage or partnership, empty nesting and the loss of a loved one.
We all get scared sometimes - scared things will change, scared things won’t change, scared of who we truly are or who we might become. Life can really throw us for a loop. It takes real bravery to face the things that scare us. And only through that bravery can we actually accept ourselves for who we are, what we truly want and what part we’ve had in creating the thing that scares us. Once we can accept this, we can begin to create a life reflecting truth, authenticity and integrity.
