Everyone has within themselves the resources they need to feel better, function better, and engage in more rewarding relationships. But it doesn't always feel that way. My work is to help you clear the barriers to engaging with your inner strengths. No matter what you're struggling with, I'll help you focus on ways to know yourself better, honor your needs, communicate more productively, navigate conflicts more successfully, and manage times of transition with greater clarity, perspective, and hope. Learn how to better tolerate and even grow from your most unsettled parts as you develop trust and confidence in your inner wisdom.
I've been working as a therapist for over 30 years and supervising mental health clinicians nearly as long. I specialize in relationships, including your relationship with yourself. I draw from strength-based approaches including IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help individuals, couples, parents & teens, & organizations attain more satisfying results.
Facing a time of transition? I enjoy aiding those changing careers, considering retirement, or making any shift in role, status, or environment. With mindfulness tools, arts approaches, reading materials, and providing a safe space for reflection, I can help you embrace change with a sense of inner harmony and clear intention. Contact me to discuss further.

Groups
Midlife Transitions
Our identities are often caught up with work and parenting roles. At midlife or later, those roles change, some by choice, some involuntarily. This group addresses questions which surface when considering or trying out a time of scaled back demands. Who am I apart from my job? Is it ok to step back? What brings meaning? What are the implications for my relationships? What do I actually want? How do I make the changes I'm wishing for? This group addresses challenges and opportunities that arise as one clears space to create a satisfying midlife or later life experience.
