You seek relief from anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma or relationship problems. You’re behaving in ways you know are unhealthy and have tried many things to help but can’t seem to get unstuck. I help you look at unhelpful behaviors with understanding and self-compassion. Together we collaborate to address areas that are out of balance or causing problems. This allows you over time to grow into your authentic self and nurture love and meaning in your life.
I am an experienced therapist with a holistic approach to mind, body and spirit. I listen with an open mind and have an active approach to teaching practical skills. I have special training in treating trauma and often use EMDR. I am gentle yet challenging, with excellent analytical skills to help you identify patterns of behavior and roots of problems.
I’m a former journalist and love to help you tell your story in a new and empowering way. I became a therapist because a therapist helped me change my life at a critical time. I value authenticity and practice the things I teach. In my free time, I love most anything in nature (hiking, backpacking, gardening, or drinking coffee on the patio).

I often use EMDR and mindfulness-based somatic approaches in my practice. In the first few sessions, I help you tell your story and identify clear goals for therapy. Together we decide on the best approach to support your progress. I take an active role in therapy to overcome fears, teach skills, and focus on change that is doable and meaningful.
