Most of our struggles are relational in nature. As a relationship expert, I will guide you toward healing your relational wounds; to step into the self-actualized, meaningful, joyful life you dream of. We all sustain traumas which shape our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. When we understand our protective strategies we can then update our narratives, unburden our traumatized parts, heal attachment wounds, and make room to relate through our highest self. We can learn new skills in communication, somatic regulation, mindfulness, self-awareness, and more fully build the life which best serves our continual growth.

If eating disorders, like binge eating, anorexia, bulimia or dieting and worrying about food, weight & shape feel like they have taken over your life, I can help you regain a sense of balance and peace. There are many unhealthy messages about how our bodies "should" look or what we "should" or "shouldn't" eat. It is my goal to help guide you back to the inner wisdom of your own body, so that eating begins to feel like a nourishing, and even joyful, experience. In addition to therapy for eating disorders, I also enjoy working with clients who need help with anxiety, depression, stress, or life transitions.

In private practice I do work with people in a traditional therapeutic setting, but I offer other methods that have been effective with clients who have not been receptive to other treatment.

Do you find yourself stuck, anxious, and unable to navigate life? Recognizing this is one of the first step towards healing. My main goal is to provide an affirming, safe space for marginalized communities to express themselves and feel heard. Thoughts, emotions, perceptions and environmental factors can interfere with our ability to reach our full potential. I view our work together as a shared journey toward your ideal self. You are the architect of what is possible in therapy. Together, we can create a path towards a journey of greater fulfillment and possibilities. Change can be scary, but you're already taking the first step.

I've been working with children, adolescents, and families for 25 years. As a parent myself, I'm familiar with the growing pains of raising a family. Each new day can be an adventure, whether we want it to be or not. I can assist you as you navigate the ups and downs of family life and parenting. I believe it's 'easier to build a child than to repair an adult.' Building a resilient, happy child begins at birth. Fostering resilience in your children through effective parenting and a supportive "village" is a gift they will have the rest of their lives.

I have been a clinical social worker for over 40 years. My training has taken me from psychoanalytic training to the more recent trends of mindfulness.
My passion has always been to help clients reach their optimum potential---to unlock the courage to resolve their conflicts.
As I work with families that have been involved in high conflict divorce, I strive to bring balance as the families adjust to their new configuration.
I believe the ideal situation for children of divorce is to have parents who encourage and continue to support positive, nurturing relationships with each other.
