Many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unable to cope in today's world. Seeking support is the first step on a heaing journey. For over 25 years I've worked with clients who have been experiencing a variety of challenges. My primary focus has been with people who have substance abuse problems or their loved ones.Most have underlying trauma expressing itself in a multitude of ways; anxiety, depression, body image, substance abuse, & self harm. Trauma and loss have increased in our current world. As a response, I've expanded my client base to address the myriad losses, and the resulting trauma many people are facing today.

My service – Jungian analysis – covers your concerns about mood, relationships, sex and sexuality, creativity issues, compulsions, coping with change or loss, lack of passion, disorganization, or effects of neglect, abuse or trauma. Whereas counseling covers such concerns by aiming at rehabilitation, improved coping or solving problems in functioning, my service goes deeper, aiming at self-acceptance, clarity, balance and authenticity. We would boldly explore dreams, fantasies or whatever else your soul expresses, sensitive to cruel injustice within society, your work setting, your relationships and especially within your psyche.

I'm glad you've found yourself here. Acknowledging that you need support right now is a tough but necessary first step. Life and relationships can be complex and I find that it is often helpful have a neutral person to offer a listening ear, guidance, and to facilitate a process of gaining more insight about who you are and what you need. My role would be to help you work towards your goals, which may include building self-compassion, identifying and regulating uncomfortable emotions, processing old traumas, changing negative thoughts and patterns, overcoming challenges, strengthening relationships, implementing new coping skills.

I believe that healing starts with a strong therapeutic relationship and focus on establishing an accepting, warm environment filled with trust and free of judgement. This foundational relationship and your courage and willingness allow for deep exploration into your inner world. As a client, you will take an active role in the therapeutic process and together, we'll awaken the autopilot that many of us default to and move towards living life more intentionally and authentically. Through compassionate and curious exploration, we will bring awareness to patterns that may be interfering with your life.

It is easy to become overwhelmed by the sadness, anger, or anxiety we experience. During these times we often feel uncertain and insecure. My goal is to help you find balance and to restore a sense of control and inner strength. I believe it is important to listen and to be supportive as well as to provide guidance as you explore where you have been, where you are and where you hope to go. I believe it is important for you to set realistic and reasonable expectations of yourself as well as others. And to develop the communication skills that will allow you to share your thoughts and feelings in healthy and appropriate ways.

Are you tired of the cascading “I should be’s” or “I’m not enough’s?” Maybe you're not connecting in your relationships the way you want to be. A part of you wants to change but you don't know how or where to start. Luckily, we were never designed to go through it alone. I frequently work with adults and college students ages 18+ who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, perfectionism, and distress related to family and life transitions. I work with adults of all genders, sexualities, and socioeconomic, racial, and cultural backgrounds via virtual, office, and walk and talk sessions.

We will use our therapeutic relationship to gain insight into difficult relational patterns in your life and develop new ways of being in relationship.

You feel stuck. At this point in your life, you thought you’d have relationships down - your marriage or partnership would feel meaningful, hard but fulfilling. Instead your interactions with your partner, and perhaps your family, friends, or coworkers. leave you feeling misunderstood, frustrated and alone. How the hell are other people able to “click”? This wasn’t how you envisioned how love would feel in your life.

My practice is rooted in a core belief in the power and purpose of all human emotions. Our emotions are some of our most important tools for navigating the world. As children, we learn to adapt to our environments by finding resourceful ways of managing emotions that don’t feel safe. But sometimes, as adults, the same strategies that helped us in the past can actually contribute to our feeling stuck, empty, out of control, hopeless, or alone. I practice a kind of therapy called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), which helps clients heal from emotional pain and recover their innate sense of agency and vitality.

Do you struggle with self esteem issues? Feel like you can’t ever relax? Struggle to get out of bed? These issues can take a toll on your mental health without you realizing, which is why taking the first step to talk to someone about can be so powerful. I offer a safe space for those who want to explore the best way to express feelings that may seem impossible to get off your chest. I’m open to seeing anyone who falls under the teenager, young adult, and adult age range. I value the therapeutic relationship as the main way to work through the biggest struggles of maintaining your mental health.
