I’m a goal-activating expert at helping people let go of emotional baggage and start living the life of their dreams. My priority in session is to make sure you get what you need out of the experience. Period. How do I do that? By providing a judgement free space to openly discuss and explore your “stuff.” And yes, we all have it! This “stuff” includes stress, anxiety, and other emotional roadblocks that are disrupting your life. I will help you identify faulty thinking patterns, confront your fears, and retrain your brain. This process is so powerful and transformative that it almost seems like a short-cut to achieving goals.

Listening to the narrative of every person's life is fascinating to me. I am empathic, interactive and am a firm believer that good therapy brings results that make people feel more comfortable, empowered, and gives you the strength that is needed to grow. Therapy begins with identifying destructive themes that repeatedly arise, and interfere with one's life. I believe that therapy should be transformative, and provide a healing experience. I am particularly skilled in working with panic disorder/, depression, divorce conflict, and trauma, including sexual abuse.

You’re realizing the past still hurts. Painful experiences in your childhood colored your inner world gray... Lingering wounds like childhood trauma, narcissistic parents, enmeshment in your family, and betrayal trauma impact how you see yourself and interact with others. You want to break free of old pain but don’t know where to start. You are not alone. Many high functioning adults deal with the hidden aftereffects of dysfunction in their family of origin. They inhabit roles of perfectionist, people-pleaser, or high achiever attempting to compensate for deeply internalized self-blame, shame, or inadequacy.

Life is filled with challenges. We all need help from time to time yet asking for help may not be easy. Each of us experience life and the world around us through a unique lens. Often what we believe becomes our reality. It is not just what happens to us but how we experience those events personally, based on what is most important to us, that in turn influences how we feel and behave. I love helping people connect the dots between their life experiences and their personal needs and values to understand how to heal from the past and move forward to a brighter, better future.

Do you ever feel like you “should” have everything sorted and things “should” be moving along as planned, but for some reason they are not? You have moments where you feel okay, even some days you feel good, but then even more moments where you feel overwhelmed, anxious and unsure about the future. Do you feel stuck, like you’re not in control of your own story? Are you ready to be more present, to find and cultivate greater levels of joy, peace and balance in a world that seems to be full of uncertainty. Together, I believe we can reach past our old habits and expand our ways of being and experiencing life with courage and grace.

UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME MY SCHEDULE DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO TAKE ON NEW PATIENTS / CLIENTS. I have been a psychotherapist for 40+ years and as of 2005 my practice has focused exclusively on matters of grief and loss. Losing a loved one(s) or anticipating loss can be the most painful experience in our lifetime. Everyone's life story is unique as is one's passage through grief. There is no standard fixed road map to follow but there can be a way to create what will work specifically for you and your needs and desires.
