My ideal client feels that things may not be working out in their life and would like to talk about it, work on it, resolve and heal. I'm here to help on that journey. You may be dealing with trauma, bereavement, loss, substance abuse, or sexual and psychological abuse, work or school issues, ADHD, relationship/communication problems. During these difficult times, many have unmet needs and feel lonely, depressed and isolated. Most people want release from their emotional pain and greater joy and love in their lives. "My" client is looking to be heard and seen and taken seriously. You want to matter in the world. I hear that.

Great to meet you! I am a Dance/Movement Psychotherapist, my eyes are trained to see what our words cannot express...and that's where the magic happens. Within sessions, I often use visualization, movement, and explore what our words may not be able to express.

I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist with extensive background and experience in working with families, individuals, adolescents, young adults and groups.

Helping others meet their wellness goals is a passion of mine, and I believe everyone deserves to be heard and valued. Having worked in service fields for most of my adult life, the transition to counseling was a natural progression for me. I am excited to work with individuals in one-on-one counseling as well as in a group setting. Over the last three years I have worked extensively with individuals battling obesity, binge eating disorder and food addiction and something that I have learned is that guilt and shame are roadblocks that prevent us from moving forward.

We all experience times in our lives when what once worked for us no longer does. We may become overwhelmed, anxious, fearful, or angry and are no longer able to ignore those feelings. Instead they get in our way. Talking to someone, especially one who listens to you carefully and joins you in a collaborative and supportive process, is amazingly helpful. People with whom I work note that they begin to feel better and less alone almost immediately.

You or your child/teen have the power to make positive changes in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life. You may be thinking about improving relationships, coping more effectively with daily stress, or becoming more successful academically or in a career. Unfortunately, sometimes stress, anxiety, & depression make it difficult to make the changes you truly want. I aim to empower my clients so that they discover (or re-discover) the inner-strength needed to believe in themselves, learn new coping strategies, & achieve their goals.

The healing process is vulnerable and courageous. Whether you seek healing for yourself or your child, a safe holding space that provides supportive containment and compassion is so vital. I embrace each individual with the knowledge that one is the expert of their own lives. My role is to provide a space to access deeper wisdom and personal expression. I began my career in early childhood education and have brought my knowledge of early childhood development into my work as a therapist, with a focus on attachment, sensory processing and the nervous system constantly informing my work.

My focus in therapy is to help you solve the problems that are getting in your way, so you can once again, feel better. I utilize a strengths perspective, that is, exploring personal strengths and attributes (as well as weaknesses)to enable you to work through your difficulties in a way that reflects who you truly are.

My greatest goal is to provide a caring, supportive, non-judgmental environment for my clients, one that inspires healing. I view counseling as a partnership. I have a strong belief in each individual’s innate capacity to grow and heal. My approach is eclectic, one that is grounded in a person-centered, humanistic philosophy. I am a warm and compassionate counselor, and I strive to provide a safe space where my clients can actualize their amazing capacities to heal and grow. My eclectic approach utilizes various healing strategies and modalities customized for each client.

I am a therapist, focused on women's issues, who can help you bring joy, strength and tranquility into your life. I believe that all women have an enormous amount of inner strength which often gets lost as we take on the roles of mother, wife, caregiver, partner, and provider. As women, we often give so much of ourselves that our spirit and energy can get squashed leaving us feeling depressed and anxious.

My goal, through Source Therapy, is to help you develop an awareness of your unique inner resources - creative, spiritual, intellectual and emotional - to bring your inner life into harmony with your outer world experiences, and to heal psychological wounding.
