Sadness, anger, joy, fear are all welcome here. When we do the work of really trying to understand ourselves fully, we learn how to respect ourselves and teach others to do the same. It is my desire to help you discover who you are, sort through hurts / traumas that continue to affect you in the present, and learn to live in alignment with your values and priorities so that you can flourish personally and relationally.

I am unfortunately not taking new clients at this time*** I strongly believe that whether someone is simply going through some uncomfortable stress, or enduring a very painful transition in life, together we can find answers that will renew hope and help you feel empowered to change your life. I practice Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and recognize that the patient is the expert in their own life. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to find unique solutions to complex problems. I believe focusing on patient strengths, not weaknesses, elicits hope and leaves room for meaningful and long lasting change.

I anticipate being able to begin accepting new patients in December 2024. Change can be scary. It can also be beautiful, and, we know that change is inevitable. If you've found yourself considering some potential changes for your life, or are in the midst of navigating an unexpected change, I'd be happy to support you. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to process thoughts and feelings, to help us gain insight about ourselves, or to create meaning out of difficult experiences. Whatever the circumstance may be - you don't have to figure it out on your own.

As a mother, grandmother, teacher and former family and divorce mediator, I am sensitive to finding the right words to soothe, comfort and connect with others so that each person feels heard, understood and valued. In therapy I will help you recognize, accept, investigate and nurture your feelings. From this connected place your interactions with others will reflect your heart instead of your threatened brain. My approach is based on the science of neurobiology, the wisdom of Buddhist philosophy, a dose of humor, and the warmth we generate together.
