You are creative, live life consciously, and have enjoyed success in many areas of life. You juggle your career, family, and friends. But it's not easy, is it?

I work in a relational psychodynamic way, integrating Internal Family Systems and other modalities to work with our complexities.
Sometimes our current way of being ourselves feels stuck. Perhaps something in you feels unhealed, unwell, dead, or disconnected, incapable, or inaccessible. There are innumerable ways to speak of a rich and fulfilling life, but I believe one thing required is a feeling a wholeness and integration in our way of being. Trauma, pain, shame, stuck patterns of disconnection – there can be many obstacles to a thriving way of being ourselves. If you can relate to this, I say with compassion: “Welcome!" I work with individuals and couples who want to cultivate deeper connection and fulfillment in life.

I use Imago, EFT, and Family Systems, to help couples get to the root of their problems.
Are you feeling alone, anxious or depressed? Unsatisfied with your career, have chronic pain or illness? Relationship stress, extended family issues? My clients tell me I'm warm, easy to talk to, and down to earth. I use a variety of treatment approaches: psychodynamic and relational, combined with CBT, EFT, and EMDR. EMDR can help almost any problem resolve more quickly because it allows the brain to make changes on a deeper level than just talking. We still talk plenty though, before, during and after EMDR. My clients find telehealth to be helpful and convenient. I see regular clients occasionally at my home office.

My ideal client would be a person who is ready and willing to explore how their past informs their present, how their internal life (thoughts, emotions, and aspirations) influences their external life (job, family, and friendships), and how their perceptions shape their reality.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring 40 years of counseling experience specializing in intensive couple counseling retreats and online video counseling.
The weekend counseling approach can be more effective than weekly sessions for many couples. The weekend allows a couple to stay focused long enough to make significant progress whatever their challenges may be. It is often just way more convenient when one considers the time it takes getting to and from, time off from work, childcare for weekly sessions.

What is psychotherapy? It is deep listening, empathy, guidance. It is a place where you may bring your troubles and challenges, joys, and accomplishments. When it feels like you are falling apart, you may just need someone who can help you to see how things may be falling together. I can help you sort out feelings of anxiety, depression, loss and transition, as well as help to address issues associated with family and relationship conflicts. Whatever brings you to me, I will be honored to welcome you to a space of healing and growth.

I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, and arts-based interventions.
I integrate my lifelong admiration for the healing power of the mind/body connection throughout my therapeutic practice, and so that connection is where we will begin our work together. While my clinical perspective keeps the interplay of person in environment front and center, I practice with a trauma-informed, non-pathologizing clinical lens that allows me to see the whole person with their strengths and ways of being in the world. I can help with a range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, life stressors and transitions. I offer support for parents and children with therapy and parent coaching.

Hello! I believe that each one of us comes into this world with particular strengths and gifts to offer. Through the turmoil, loss, and pain we face, we often become disconnected from our true and whole self, losing sight of these strengths and gifts. In our work together, my goal is to provide a safe and therapeutic container for you to explore what is blocking you from your joy, supporting and guiding you in reclaiming your whole self.

I understand human development and thriving is difficult in this lifetime. I am here to be of help. This struggle may be found in a past trauma that is sticks out in your heart and mind as a thorn piercing in. Or maybe it's the neurodivergent attributes of yourself you haven't quite understood. Maybe you've been diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and never learned anything about it or how to take care of it other than taking medication - or worse, thinking that you were inadequate. Maybe it's the navigation of unclear waters around your own psyche. May we create clear pathways together!

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
