Psychotherapy is the practice of talking things through with a skilled and trusted professional. Conversation lays out a frame of reference for solving problems in one's personal life and eases emotional pain. For anyone who seeks therapy, there is a desire to improve communication, to be better understood and connect with others. Finding the courage to change the way to communicate more effectively can be difficult. Unavoidably, there are times when we lose our way, have misunderstandings, or struggle with doubts about our own capabilities. An experienced therapist can help us find solutions to problems and relief from pain in a nonjudgmental atmosphere.

I see the human hunger for self-acceptance in my work with adults; the frustration of trying to make changes while barely keeping up.
I offer an environment where you may start from where you are. Pause. Breath. Return to the curiosity present before self-doubt emerged. One achievable step at a time.
I use a Systems-oriented approach, which is an active, alive means of strengthening the connections between our "logical" left or cognitive brain; and our more sensate, creative right aspects. I see my anxious, depressed, stuck, or confused clients access personal common sense.

My passion is supporting women as they navigate their multiple roles both at work and in relationships. One of my special interests is working with women who want to change their relationship with alcohol. In my experience, women often experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and burn out if healthy boundaries are not set to manage the never ending demands of life. I help clients develop boundaries, coping skills, and nervous system regulation strategies to create a life they are excited to live. I am trained in EMDR, the industry standard in treating trauma, as well as CBT, DBT and IFS.

This understanding can help you engage more actively with yourself and enriches your interpersonal relationships.
