Since September of 2016 I've had a private psychotherapy practice in which I help adults from all walks of life get to know themselves better, because you cannot love what you do not know, and love must be present for any other lasting changes to happen. My motto is, "You don't need to be fixed; you just need to be found." Talking to a professional listener gives you a chance to hear out loud what you really think and feel. I've heard countless people surprise themselves. Talking freely provides the kind of clarity that is essential for emotional, psychological, relational, and spiritual growth.

I have been passionate about the care and wellness of adult women since I began practicing in the early 1990's. I have worked in a variety of settings that have given me helpful experience in treating issues that women commonly face such as body shame, unhealthy eating patterns, unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic and verbal abuse. I follow the latest research findings related to the neurological basis behind therapeutic change and make it a point to empower my clients by teaching them everything that I have learned about healthy change and skills that have been shown to nurture a sense of peace and wellbeing.

You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, and frustration or find yourself turning to unhealthy behaviors for relief and escape from uncomfortable feelings. You may also be struggling to be free of the devestating effects of past trauma. Or you may have a knowing that there is a freer, stronger, and more joyful you that has just seemed to remain out of reach, despite your good efforts. Through mindfulness attention and somaticwareness, that which was previously "in the way" becomes our doorway to healing, clarity, peace, joy, and the ability to realize our personal and life goals.

Do you want to deepen your sense of self and build stronger relationships? Are you working to recover from the impacts of personal trauma, or trying to interrupt generational and collective trauma patterns? Working on finding better ways to move through anxiety and depression, and strengthen your ability to navigate the state of the world while still finding joy, ease, love, belonging, and meaningful resistance to harmful systems? Feeling disconnected from one’s sense of self and body, from others, from community, can lead us to feel empty, aching and traumatized. Repairing connections can help create healing and a sense of safety.
