As an LCSW therapist, I have greatly improved the lives of children and their families by understanding that each family and child is unique. I believe the success of every child begins within the family unit. Prior to becoming an MSW therapist, I worked for 15+ years as a Montessori teacher guiding the development of children. This experience allows me to address children's academic and emotional needs. Let me help you establish a strong and positive bond with your children.

Living a “life worth living” can seem like a path only others get to travel, while our journey feels unfair, exceedingly difficult, or at times impossible. At times we discover that our struggles are the result of the choices we made, or the choices others have made that affect us. At other times, we unknowingly hold onto faulty beliefs about ourselves or others, living as if they are true or accurate. To cope, we develop strategies to make the journey seem more doable. They can indeed be helpful and carry us toward our goals, or be the very obstacle that prevents us from achieving our potential.

Using a wide range of expertise and training I treat diverse concerns of pre-teen through older adult clients. By varying treatment with a number of approaches, I strive to tailor therapy to the person, not just the problems identified.

Improved emotional health supports our whole-body wellness. My joy in psychotherapy is to accompany people from places of distress to paths of relief, positive change, expanded self-worth, and deeper bonds with the people they love. Worry, anxiety, sadness, and relationship conflict can take a toll on our immune system, confidence, productivity and connection with others. I believe all people are born noble. We all have strengths and inner capacities for growth and healing. Healing is a process--sometimes it is a quick journey, in other instances it may take more time. Therapy can be an important part of that process.

In my approach to therapy, I believe in creating a space where clients can begin to break free from the confines that trauma and mental health challenges often impose. My role is to help them reconnect with their strengths, resilience, and sense of agency. I integrate a combination of strength-focused and solution-based techniques with ample room for emotional processing, always ensuring that each session feels like a place for genuine self-expression. I am particularly focused on supporting individuals who are recovering from complex trauma, including experiences of religious or sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, and ADHD

For 45 years, I have specialized in treating undiagnosed or untreated trauma, loss, grief, chronic illness, addictions and gender and or sexual fluidity. Most clients are externally 'highly functioning' in their day to day life. Their pain is hidden and invisible. I work to gently but directly guide us to discover self created barriers often outside our everyday awareness, to facilitate the process of identifying, acknowledging, grieving and letting go (over and over again!) of those things that interfere with creating a healthier, more contented and meaningful life.
