It is uncommon for people to willingly seek therapy. Misinformation, fear of stigma, prejudices abound. How unfortunate! By the time someone reaches out it is often because they are at a point of desperation; this is when the work can begin. My philosophy and approach have been formed through many years of working as a clinical social worker. Though trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I am much more eclectic in my approach and attuned to client needs. I see therapy as a tool. It is hard work. There is a saying that "only the brave go to therapy.

With twenty years in private practice, I’ve honed my ability to attune to a person’s unique lens and her lived experience.

Having lived through and healed from those challenges, my connection to women and mothering is intuitive. Drawing upon mindfulness and somatic (body-focused) training, I offer wellness skills for building trauma resilience, practicing mindful self-compassion, and managing the cumulative stress of womanhood and motherhood.
