Counseling is a challenging avenue to pursue. Usually at moments of confusion, loss, even desperation. Having been in the field for over 20 years, I can admit I don't have 1 answer. However, having that amount of professional (and considerable personal) experience, I've accumulated quite a tool box. It may not guide you to immediate enlightenment, but it will help with the journey. I hope to hear from you.

Seeking counseling is a responsible way to take care of what matters most. As Toni Morrison told us, "It's good when you've got a woman who is a friend of your mind." I welcome diverse clients navigating many situations and specialize in recovery and post-traumatic growth from narcissistic abuse, misuse, and relational or social trauma. I also focus on loss, grief, anxiety, depression, adjustments to changes, life stages, and the promises and pitfalls of pursuing an authentic creative life.

Life satisfaction is mostly about relationship, don't you agree? I help people have emotionally open and compassionate relationships both with themselves and with others. I work with individuals and couples on this. Individually, so much of life satisfaction and personal effectiveness is based on how well you understand yourself (mindfulness), how you treat yourself (compassion), and how you advocate for your desires. With others, relationships are built through mutually respectful listening and co-creating mutually delightful interactions. I see relationship as a spiritual path.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or low self esteem? Do you have unresolved traumas, big or little T? Do you wish you had a better body image, or could control emotional eating? Have difficulty setting boundaries and find yourself resentful because of it? Many people who didn't get their needs met in the past struggle to be truly kind to themselves and need a compassionate witness in that process. These are some of the issues I work with on a regular basis in my practice. I see people new to therapy, as well as those who are continuing their journey towards greater authenticity, healing, and meaning.

Remembering what your last therapist told you, “diets don’t work” interrupts your cycling thoughts that you should skip a meal today. No matter how little you have eaten or how much you have exercised, you never felt thin enough to fit into those expensive designer jeans saved for when you lose a little weight. You’ve already tried everything from restricting the kinds of food you eat by cutting out carbs and sugar to going paleo. Since you grew up watching your mom diet and make negative comments about her body, it makes sense that you have imagined that eating "clean" or "healthy" would give you a sense of security.

I am passionate about supporting adults getting unstuck from their inner burdens so they can 'live their why' more fully and thrive. I often support clients working in health & helping professions to release feeling overburdened and to grow self-compassion. Many of us are coping with inner struggles while caring for our world and working for good causes. Together, we can build strategies to cope with stress now while also growing understanding of how old dynamics may still be influencing your present difficulties. This helps release the past and empower you with the tools to create a purposeful future.

My clients are busy professionals who don't have time for therapy but would benefit from the relief it can provide. If your schedule is demanding and finding time every week to go to therapy seems impossible, working in an intensive format can be a much more efficient and effective approach. I specialize in anxiety, trauma and preverbal (early childhood) trauma, addictions, and performance, and frequently work with other health care professionals and folks in high stress, high demand positions. Because EMDR intensive sessions are not billed to insurance, no diagnosis is necessary.

Compassion and curiosity are the starting place for our exploration. Life is inherently challenging and difficult, and we all suffer from hurts large and small, past and present. And most of us are plagued by a strong inner critic who thinks they are helping but often shames and limits us. I feel honored to work with people who are deeply examining the relationship they have to themselves and to the world. With a passion for inspiring individuals to claim their own personal excellence, my expertise is in understanding interpersonal dynamics, and successfully counseling individuals and groups into reaching their highest self.

I see the imagination as a powerful tool for transformation.
Life doesn't come with a road map for success. Therapy is like a compass to help navigate the twists and turns along the way. If you are seeking change, are ready to take responsibility for the road ahead, and are prepared to meet the heights and depths of transformation, I can offer insight and new ways to consciously take the reins. You may find hidden treasures within that were buried and forgotten and learn how they influence your thinking and ways of being. I offer experience and training in a spectrum of modalities to teach new practices that open to fresh perspectives that may lead to growth for lasting change.
