I would like to to let my future clients know that for over thirty years I have offered compassionate, solution focused therapy to individuals, couples and families who are changing their lives. Many experienced trauma, a painful loss or difficulty in becoming true to themselves. For some, anxiety, depression or debilitating anger create roadblocks to happiness and connection. Others may be managing health issues, having problems with communication, intimacy, gender identification or sexual behavior concerns. It continues to be a privilege and an honor to be asked to walk with them through to happier, more fulfilled lives.

My ideal client is someone who understands that the process of digging deep into the issues takes time, patience, courage and curiosity. These insights and truths are like buried treasure that are uniquely ours to uncover and reclaim. It is not an easy process to deconstruct the deep conditioning that has been thrust upon us by nearly every social institution but I have found no work more creative or empowering. I find nothing more satisfying than creating an environment that facilitates, questioning and engaging in critical thinking.

It is essential that therapists are competent and have evidence-based ideas on how to get from A to B, but therapy at its best is a collaborative relationship. A safe space of non-judgment and curiosity. My stance is non-pathologizing. One of profound respect for every person and a belief that they already hold, and have always held, the key to their own growth and well-being. Personal experience with non-ordinary states and Internal Family Systems therapy has deepened my commitment to assist my clients in accessing this intrinsic inner-healing wisdom and ultimately live more courageously and authentically.

Steps to feeling better includes engaging in a process of self-discovery, learning and growing. Negative patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving are changeable. Some patterns are counter intuitive to living a healthy and happy life. I enjoy guiding clients in their own journey of self-discovery, via identifying barriers and opportunities in reaching personal goals. The therapeutic process is not always a linear path, there are twists and turns. However, there are evidenced-based strategies that can help you. My goal is to present them to you, show you how to use them until one or several provide meaningful results.

I work with my clients with an understanding that an individual's lived experience, within a cultural context, is primary to finding tools and solutions that can support a person in their growth. I am client centered and humanistic in my orientation. I work with individuals, couples and families with an understanding of how childhood developmental trauma influences how one engages in relationships to self and with others. I support individuals, couples and families with relational challenges, issues inherent in recovery and provide families with safe containment to explore family dynamics within a Family Systems framework.

My treatment philosophy focuses on identifying a client’s strengths, support systems and resources, interests and abilities -to shore up the foundation upon which strategies and skills can be built to improve a person’s sense of self and confidence to work towards achieving their goals.

My work is focused on helping individuals become skilled in the things they struggle with: Relationships, Self-esteem, Anxiety, Boundaries, Grief, Identity, Stage of Life Changes etc.
You’re good at so many things, but you struggle in relationships, with confidence in who you are, or managing grief. Therapy will help you tap into your natural ability for deep connection, inner strength, and healing. Perhaps in Relationships- you struggle with communication, boundaries, or you keep getting stuck in the same patterns? In Identity- you know your worth, but have trouble with your self-esteem? In Grief- you get overwhelmed, and don’t know where to start to feel better? You're ready to master relationships, heal, and be unapologetically yourself.

Private pay, superbills available. I offer EMDR weekly or Intensive sessions for the treatment of trauma symptoms. Unprocessed traumatic memories can become stuck in the body, leading to distress and dysregulation in many forms: panic, anxiety, depression, irritability, flash anger, numbness, loss of connection with others. Neurological research show that the rhythmic horizontal eye movements used in EMDR reduce the activity in the brain's fear circuits, allowing allowing our brain and our nervous system to do the healing work they are capable of. Wondering if this is for you or if your story "counts" as trauma? Let's connect.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
