Greetings, I am a Licensed psychotherapist with a holistic approach specializing in trauma and women's issues . As a registered yoga and meditation teacher and dance movement therapist I weave these creative healing arts modalities into my practice as needed and requested by my clients. As a dance movement therapist I realize and understand the importance of releasing traumatic experiences not only in talk therapy but also on a body level. I encorporate the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda medicine , and aromatherapy oils. As a practioner I believe in empowering women of all ages to step into their self worth and live their best life possible!

I consider myself to be a warm, genuine therapist and have experience treating anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma, substance abuse and relationship issues. I have worked with individuals throughout the life span but particularly enjoy adults and couples. I come from a psychodynamic perspective and also include cognitive-behavioral as well as solution focused therapies in my treatment. Entering therapy is not always an easy step to make, but it can change your life.

You wish things were better in your relationship, but you feel so stuck and don't know how to make change happen. You wonder why you keep repeating the same mistakes or can't turn things around. A good therapist can assist you in making the changes you want, and in turn help you find more meaning, joy and fulfillment in your life and in your relationships.

From conducting psychiatric evaluations in area emergency departments, assessing clients in crisis, to working across all levels of the public school system, I bring multiple perspectives for parents struggling to support children with emotional/behavioral dysregulation.

I encourage and help all my clients to utilize effective stress management strategies, including mindfulness meditation.

Trauma happens at a particular or multiple moments of time, but its effects reach into the present. Memories of past hurts keep coming up. You wish you could just forget those painful experiences and move on, except every day comes with triggers that remind you of the past. It is hard to get through each day. The feelings of sadness and hopelessness come and go, but it doesn't seem to get any better. Anxiety and nervousness get in the way of work, relationships and having fun. With all the struggles, healing is possible!

I've been described by clients as a therapist who uses warmth and humor to empathically challenge and precipitate change. In my view, therapy is a safe place to explore your experiences with an objective and empathic professional. Therapy is useful when you feel "stuck" and when self-image, relationships, and success in school or work are compromised. Present-focused strategies may help you to become "unstuck". Delving into history, thereby gaining insight into the origins of your struggles may precipitate further development. As a therapist, I collaborate with my client to create a process that is healing and promotes development.
