Therapy can be complex, courageous and a difficult decision, but sometimes we just know when it's time to try something different. While challenging periods in life and relationships can overwhelm, they can also facilitate desired change and deeper connection with self and others. Different kinds of traumatic experiences can cause a disconnect between what our head knows and what our body is telling us We will learn together how to reconnect your mind and body so we can access the inner wisdom and strengths that you already possess. We will grow into integrating these capacities in ways that work for you in your current life.

What is psychotherapy, and why would you want to receive it? For me, psychotherapy is communication. It is a means of reflecting you back to yourself in a way that is instructive, enlightening, and healing. If you are experiencing low self-esteem, depression, thoughts of suicide, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, or fearfulness about the future, you could benefit from psychotherapy.

Are you a caregiver looking for a therapist for your young child between the ages of 3-8 years old who has experienced trauma (e.g., medical-related trauma, injury, auto accident, near death experience, etc.) or the death of a loved one? Or is your child experiencing a change in their life, and you’re noticing they are not acting quite like themselves? I am here to help my young child clients heal from their experiences- working together with their families towards reducing uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and moving forward to feeling better about themselves and their future.

Could you benefit from some extra support so you can get back on track to focus on things that are important, so that you spend less time, energy dealing with STRESS? Do you need a place to process things going on with you without the bias that can occur when talking to friends and family? The therapeutic setting can give you the opportunity to learn and grow. With these paradigm shifts, or new ways of approaching situations, individuals can often experience greater life satisfaction. I would enjoy the opportunity to accompany you on this journey.

I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, and children in individual, couples and family therapy. I primarily use a psychodynamic, interpersonal, and family systems approach. Having been in practice for more than 25 years, I have a well rounded and broad background of experience which includes working with all types of clients of all ages with many varying presenting issues. Clients who are best suited for my practice want to become more aware of their issues as they relate to the underlying patterns and dynamics that replicate again and again and cause dysfunction in their lives.

Warm, heartfelt, and open minded, I love helping people embrace their authenticity and work towards their goals. I believe therapy needs to balance deep introspection with practical solutions, so if you find yourself exploring your identity, your relationships, or your direction in life, let’s have a chat. Maybe its time to retrace your steps, or question the crossroad, or blaze a new trail, or rest a while. Wherever you are in your journey, I'll meet you where you're at.

When painful thoughts and emotions arise, they can make us feel paralyzed and miserable. We think about our painful experiences and feel the same agony over and over again! We worry about the future and feel a sense of dread and fear about things that have not yet happened! We want to get rid of the pain, but if we try to eliminate painful thoughts and feelings, it's like trying to plug a high pressure leak and the water keeps finding a weak spot to burst out again! What else can we do? We can accept feelings with compassion because they show us what's most important. We can observe thoughts, then act from choice instead of fear.
