You've come here looking for change, and you already carry the strength and ability to do it. Our focus in therapy will be to start from the ground up, because strong foundations make rock steady lives, & identifying structures/behaviors/patterns is a great way to focus on personal development & goals. Together, we will work to identify your symptoms & overcome the obstacles in your way. Sometimes an outsider's perspective can be exactly what you need- someone whose opinion you can trust to be objective.

I feel the basis of good therapy is the relationship between the therapist and their client/clients. I seek first to create a trusting safe space for my clients through being present and actively listening. I am eclectic in my counseling and use my intuition and the client’s preferences in choosing a modality. I truly enjoy the art of therapy, and have decided to do what I really love: helping people on their life journey in a creative fun way. I take my client’s emotional life very seriously, but try to approach them with light, creativity, humor, all while teaching real skill building.

Thank you for visiting my page and giving me the opportunity to offer help and healing. I have been a licensed psychotherapist for over 20 years. During my career, I have worked with various populations including adults, children, adolescents, and couples. I have specialized in treating adults with depression, anxiety, childhood and adult trauma, relationship problems, and those experiencing major life changes and losses. I see my purpose as helping an individual feel more in control of their Iife and not allowing the past to control them; to ease anxiety and eliminate depression.

Many clients come to me having felt unseen, unheard, and dismissed in the relationships in their lives. Or have told they're too "emotional" or "sensitive." I'm here to provide a safe, nurturing space to help repair and heal patterns of invalidation. Therapy combining nonjudgmental listening and solid, practical tips can help repair these wounds, improving your relationships and self-esteem. I will give you tools to help balance and make sense of your emotions so you can work with them. I also provide Brainspotting, a method for safely processing traumas, as well as other body-focused therapies, to soothe your nervous system.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 1992. As one can imagine, my treatment approach has changed and evolved during that period of time. I am a depth, existential therapist, and work with adults who are experiencing a life crisis or transitional phase in their lives. My hope is that clients who enter my office will feel a sense of calm and acceptance, and find a place where they can express their deepest truths and concerns without judgement. I incorporate dreamwork in my practice, and have attended Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara furthering my training in dreamwork.

I work with couples and individuals who are struggling with their own life issues. The focus can be on relationships, work, economics, sexuality, children, family, etc. There is often some depression, or anxiety. Changes are addressed easily, naturally with techniques that are easy to use and maintain. My compassionate, caring approach helps you to address your concerns more easily.
I also work with survivors of abuse - sexual abuse, verbal abuse, emotional abuse. Other grief work includes the death of a child, a loved one, a parent.
My years of experience are my best assets for you and your life situations.

Therapy? Who needs therapy? Not you, right? Yeah, that's what I thought too. After all, we should be able to just "handle things" without the help of some head-shrinker, shouldn't we?
The truth is, you probably don't need therapy.
You're not going to stop breathing without it. Another truth is that life is full of pressure and stress, and it's hard for anyone to handle it all alone. Many of us are dealing with childhood or adult traumas, anxiety and depression, and trouble trusting others. We don't always know how to reach out or ask for help.
