I offer a holistic, spiritual approach, specializing in working with Empaths/HSP/OSP and C-PTSD, as well as difficulties around nourishing the Self (eating disorder concerns). I am a trauma-focused therapy practitioner, using somatic and holistic modalities including energy therapy, yoga therapy, nature therapy and therapeutic sound. I am skilled in assisting individuals in attuning to both their internal guidance system of intuition, as well as to their body felt sensation and awareness as vehicles for healing. I am also gifted at working with families and in assisting individuals in working through relational difficulties.

I am a Jungian-oriented psychoanalyst in Western NY. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help get to the root of your problems instead of creating temporary fixes. We will use dreams, archetypes and synchronicities in your life to help create your own unique path toward healing. If you have made your life decisions based on what others want for you, that may have lead you astray from your own innate purpose in the world. When we become awakened to this insight, change becomes possible and your symptoms begin to subside.

In the heart of every problem lies its solution. We spend enormous amounts of time and energy searching for answers outside ourselves, when the answers lie within. Heartwork is a creative process, which teaches one to find fundamental solutions to both everyday problems and the more difficult life questions, transforming "problems" into doorways to compassion, insight and joy. My award-winning book, "Heartwork: How To Get What You Really, REALLY Want" gives one my orientation and the primary tools for working through one's issues. The e-book version can be downloaded at my website: www.awakentheheart.org.

I also support clients who are impacted by systemically harmful ideologies, beliefs, and policies in the world. As a client-centered therapist, I provide a warm and engaging space of exploration, learning, and support. I hold the view that we can find greater inner peace and growth when we examine and accept difficult emotions instead of trying to "fix" or remove them. My passion is to empower and uncover intrinsic wholeness through conversation, body awareness, and movement. I am invested in liberation for all across the globe.

This means that I utilize skills from several types of therapy to find the approach that is the best fit for your needs and your strengths.

Maybe you have trouble creating boundaries, default to people-pleasing to avoid conflict, or overthink and question yourself constantly. These are all symptoms of an unbalanced and under-appreciated Self. Just like a fever lets us know we have an infection, life problems let us know something deep within us isn’t right. We don’t blame the fever, we thank it for alerting us to the bigger problem. Using life’s challenges as a guide, we work together to build the foundation of self you need in order to live an enriching and fully human life. This work benefits not only yourself but also your loved ones and the rest of our human family.

A cancer diagnosis is life-changing. It disrupts so many things about our everyday lives. And the stress can be overwhelming for even the most resilient among us. People coping with cancer often experience heightened levels of fear, worry, pain and uncertainty. As the founder of River Birch Therapy, I help children, teens, adults and families coping with cancer to build a life and thrive beyond cancer. During sessions, I work from a whole-person, strengths-based, relational and embodied approach to health.

Often we have little or no say in the difficulties that befall us. We have our own health problems, our relationship troubles, our work demands - as well as those of the people we love. Often we don't know what to do or we can't do what we wish. In spite of not being able to change circumstances, we do have a say in how we relate to these conflicts and transitions. Looking at our own response to crisis, both large and small, is an important part of therapy. In looking at our response, we are on a journey of self discovery and knowledge. Even in hard times there is a kind of joy that comes from self understanding and awareness.

Who am I? What is important to me? What do I believe in? What do I want out of life? I know firsthand what it is like to face these questions, especially when rebuilding after disappointment, trauma, and loss. In my own experience and in my experience working with clients, I have found that the most difficult times of our lives can be the catalyst to our greatest growth, and eventually, a sense of peace we had not thought possible.

Not accepting new clients
Please note that I am currently not able to accept new clients at this time. Therapy, at its core is about self-discovery. Through a process of curious and compassionate inquiry into the truth of our situation, we gain insights that open space to unencumber ourselves. Often, what we had initially seen as problems can dissolve altogether. I like working with people whose lives have reached an impasse where they need to generate new options to untangle their dilemma. What we need to realize is that the predicament is, ultimately, the doorway to a greater understanding and fulfillment of our lives, both inner and outer.
