Life can be wonderful, but it can also be messy and difficult at times. I work with people who face a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, life changes, and concern over climate change. I believe that every person is unique, and I bring respect for that uniqueness into the therapeutic relationship. I am continually fascinated at the complexity, creativity, and resiliency of people. It is my hope that my clients feel genuinely valued and gain further understanding of themselves and their behaviors through the collaborative exploratory work we do together. Then a new way of living becomes possible.

Life sometimes presents challenges that can overwhelm and disconnect us from ourselves and leave us feeling lost and alone. Whether we are adults or children, we can develop patterns that do not serve us well, as we struggle to cope. I help clients (individuals and couples) examine rather than run from their anxiety, depression, or uncomfortable feelings arising from change, whether at work, in school or at home. I believe that we all have strengths and the potential for well-being. Together we will reduce conflict and stress in your life, improve performance and seek better health.

I connect easily with clients to feel lighter and clearer in their minds, body, and Spirit. I work with people with stressful careers in medicine, law, finance, and small businesses. Knowing the necessity of keeping a clear head and calm body, yet have been struggling with heartbreak, anxiety, fears, loss and grief that has created overwhelming stress and expectations that limits functioning. It is a challenging balancing act with career, family, relationships, along with finding some quiet time to relax. I help you master these challenges with a very confidential, (no insurance or electronic records) safe, and caring environment.

I am passionate about supporting individuals who identify as women as they navigate the challenges of life. Addiction and recovery, relationship issues/co-dependence, chronic mental and physical dis-ease, and pregnancy/postpartum and parenting can bring us to places of deep loneliness, suffering and desperation. Past experiences have shaped our path and our behaviors. Brilliant strategies that enabled us to survive through trauma and adversity no longer serve us. It IS possible to shift those patterns. With loving connection and non-judgment I create a safe space for individuals to do the deep work that results in real life change.

You are allowed to be a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time - Sophia Bush. Are you at war with your emotions, food, or your body? Well, that's just the tip of the iceberg, and I invite you to take you on a journey below the surface. I am a DBT-certified, trauma-certified, and Intuitive Eating certified therapist and I see therapy as a journey we take together; you’re the driver and I'm the helpful passenger :) I have been a licensed therapist for 17 years, supporting people with eating disorders, issues with emotion regulation, body image issues, and borderline personality disorder. You're never "too much" for me.

If you are having the same arguments over and over again, you are not alone. I will be with you every step of the way. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples to interrupt repetitive Cycles where one person reaches out in frustration, causing their partner to withdraw and hide out. Couple Therapy doesn't have to be torture, and there doesn't have to be a "bad guy". I have helped couples with a range of issues from Domestic Abuse to infidelity to communication issues. I even use humor sometimes, but we don't waste a moment! I welcome couples who have been in couple therapy before and have almost given up.

Sometimes it feels like no matter what we do or how hard we try, we are treading water just to keep our head above the surface. We get stuck in patterns of behaving, thinking, relating, and coping that no longer serve us. We feel hopelessness, shame, fear, and self-doubt, keeping us from the things we need most- connection, vulnerability, and meaning. In this place, it is hard to see a way out and we feel helpless to make a change. We lose sight of who we are, what we value, and what brings us joy and contentment. My goal is to help you get “unstuck” so that you can engage more fully in your life.

You've been through hell, and you've been masking your true self for so long you're not even sure who you are anymore! On top that, you're facing the onslaught of anxiety, overwhelm, the angry voices of inner critics, and are struggling to gain any traction towards your goals. Everyday life can be so damn hard. Maybe you're ready to open up and experience a new way of living, but you're also unsure. You can't bear sitting across from an aloof therapist, coldly taking notes and repetitively asking how you feel. You want a real connection with a real person. Maybe you've finally found a therapist as unique and QUIRKY as you are!

Cue the anti depressant commercial with the cartoon figure, the tiny rain cloud, and the narration 'feeling sad, lost, lonely, trouble sleeping, anxious, etc etc?' ..But for real, life can be a real ass kicker sometimes. Or maybe it's been so long, you can't remember the last time you weren't feeling overwhelmed or empty. Either way, whatever your struggles, you don't have to do it alone. And I'm glad you're looking for someone to help you.
