Life is hard and life can be beautiful. Your symptoms perfectly reflect your distress. Gentleness, curiosity and developing awareness create a foundation for healing. Life need not be situations and feelings that keep repeating. I work to create positive ways of relating to yourself and others. Real change is possible with respect, courage and an open heart. I am not a managed care therapist - my commitment is to lasting change. I work with heterosexual, non-binary and LGBTQA+ individuals and couples. I also specialize in working with end of life, grief and loss, autism and deaf and hard of hearing issues.

I am a somatic psychotherapist specializing in body-based healing. I enjoy working with clients who want to step out of disempowering narratives and embrace their own capacity. I have 20+ years of experience working with many populations and conditions. Recently I have specialized in couples therapy using the Developmental Model and Attachment work. I only work with a limited number of couples at this time, but these approaches deeply inform my work, even with individuals. I have recently narrowed my practice to focus on clients in acute need or looking to do more focused chapters of work or growth vs ongoing maintenance therapy.

I have 20+ years of experience specializing in working primarily with women on issues like anxiety, depression, loss and general life dissatisfaction/spiritual disconnection.
I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience - and it can be HARD! I would like to offer you a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate space to process your feelings & find meaning in the midst of the struggle. Within the chaos & fear many of us live in, we lose touch with our inner power & our connection to one another & the planet. When anxiety, depression & other emotions show up, they need to be honored & listened to. Based upon your belief system, I would like to help support & guide you out of the darkness & back to your life's purpose - back to a valued and full life.

There are a lot of ways to practice therapy. One crucial aspect of any "good" therapy is that it helps you expand your curiosity and open-mindedness about yourself - who you have been, who you are, and who you would like to be. Towards this aim, I listen with a commitment to my own openness, mindful of our shared humanity. As a clinical social worker and psychoanalyst, I see folks with a range of concerns from diverse cultural backgrounds. I work relationally and think contextually, knowing our social worlds are integral to who we are.

I specialize in counseling young adults (20s and 30s) who want to grow as they go. They want to learn how to live with more calm and confidence - less stress and anxiety. But right now, that probably feels far away. You might be struggling with feeling overwhelmed and behind, with frustration at yourself - feeling like you don't have your shit together. It could be people-pleasing, social anxiety, always second-guessing yourself, or that thing you can’t seem to get over. It’s a lot, and it’s easy to feel anxious and alone. If you’re here, you’re probably feeling ready to take some action and feel different.
