I believe that healing starts with a strong therapeutic relationship and focus on establishing an accepting, warm environment filled with trust and free of judgement. This foundational relationship and your courage and willingness allow for deep exploration into your inner world. As a client, you will take an active role in the therapeutic process and together, we'll aim to awaken the autopilot that many of us default to and move towards living life more intentionally and authentically. Through compassionate and curious exploration, we will bring mindful awareness to patterns that may be interfering with your life.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the person you want to be? You don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with adults, adolescents, and parents who are high-functioning and simultaneously struggle internally with stress, hopelessness, perfectionism, obsessive thinking, relationship challenges, and mood fluctuations. Together, we’ll build greater balance, emotional flexibility, and a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling. As a team, we will look at your thoughts and behaviors, to identify patterns to emotions and enlist new coping skills to empower you to make the changes you want.

My service – Jungian analysis – covers your concerns about mood, relationships, sex and sexuality, creativity issues, compulsions, coping with change or loss, lack of passion, disorganization, or effects of neglect, abuse or trauma. Whereas counseling covers such concerns by aiming at rehabilitation, improved coping or solving problems in functioning, my service goes deeper, aiming at self-acceptance, clarity, balance and authenticity. We would boldly explore dreams, fantasies or whatever else your soul expresses, sensitive to cruel injustice within society, your work setting, your relationships and especially within your psyche.

You do not have to deal with issues alone. Speaking with someone can be relieving if you allow the experience to be. To be aware is to be alive, you don't have to control your thoughts, you just have to stop letting your thoughts control you.

Anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma are some of the most challenging issues to live with. In my work with couples, families, and individuals I've had the opportunity to help guide my clients through these struggles and begin experiencing more fulfilling lives. I also have experience working with individual clients on body-image related issues and deconstructing the standard idea of beauty. If these issues are relatable to you, please know you are not alone. It is extremely courageous to take this first step to seek help and guidance.

We may wisely withdraw, or hold, around moments of threat and overwhelm. But if holding becomes our automatic way of being, even as circumstances change, we may feel increasingly disconnected and less alive. By slowing down, giving ourselves time to notice changes in our experience, we can explore different responses. As we make space in our immediate (experience, relationship and environment) for what is happening now, we can experiment with holding less. And, as we engage our bodies without as much holding, our possibilities for moving, breathing, feeling alive and in relationship to what is beyond us - widen.
