I specialize in trauma-informed treatment & psycho-analytical therapy with adults in transition/change, mental health disturbance & past or current trauma. My practice includes counseling young & older adults, couples with marriage stress, anger management, substance abuse & recovery, women and men leaving domestic violence situations, LGBTQ, and those living with personal challenges where they find themselves ‘stuck’ in ideas and behaviors that no longer work for them. Approaches include Analytical Psychology, Narrative and CBT, MI, Feminist Therapy, Multi-Culturalism, Trauma-Informed Treatment & somatic healing.

I provide a calm and supportive environment for clients to be heard, validated and understood. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, having relationship difficulties, or want to improve your mindset, I can help. Together we'll find threads of hope and resilience. I use a positive, collaborative and strength-based approach to therapy. Through treatment, clients can find clarity and peace while creating more organization and balance in their life.

Living life on purpose requires clarity of mission, awareness of strengths and the ability to overcome the obstacles that undermine our fulfillment. Supporting people in their pursuit of a fulfilling life is my passion. Anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts all sabotage a meaningful life. My goal is to provide clients with the insights, skills and motivation to live life on purpose.

Clients wanting to optimize their potential and willing to explore effective solutions from Western and Eastern wisdom traditions are my specialty. During my forty plus years working in psychiatric hospitals, leading residential treatment programs, teaching relationship courses for couples and presenting Mind, Body and Spirit healing seminars, helping others heal the core of their issue is my passion. I work with adolescents, adults, families and couples from every orientation. Of course, the LBGT community is welcome. Respectful of every religious orientation, I love working with anyone wanting to unite their physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects of their being.

Are you having difficulties with stress or life's challenges? Do you feel stuck and unsure how to move forward? You are not alone in your experience, everyone goes through overwhelming times. Seeking counseling is a courageous and can be a difficult step. Congratulations for taking this step. Let me help. I provide a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment to explore life's challenges. Together we will find solutions to your problems, allowing you to move towards a more fulfilling life. We will collaborate on treatment goals and devise a plan to achieve these goals.

I bring to my work a lifetime of experience with many different people in many different circumstances. My early life experience as a registered nurse enriches me as a psychologist and provides me with a unique perspective in navigating the path towards healing. I believe that the psyche holds within itself the power to heal, but our egos often get in the way. Through the struggles of life, we can lose contact with our own deep well of inner wisdom. My focus is on helping individuals develop the tools to re-connect with their true vital selves and restore balance.

The decision to begin therapy can be a difficult one that carries many emotions. I strive to be an open-minded and active listener for clients who find themselves embarking on this experience. I find that a non-judgmental, conversational style of therapy helps clients to feel more comfortable, while allowing them to address the needs that have brought them to this point. As a therapist my goal is to help clients gain a better understanding of their mental health, while providing them with the tools they need in order to cope with the ups and downs of life in the healthiest way possible.

Is your life, your child's life, family, or your marriage having challenges? My practice centers on helping people reach and maintain emotional health. Those who can achieve and maintain emotional health are better able to reach goals, learn their true potential, and live a balanced and fulfilling life. Even those who are emotionally healthy experience challenges in life - those sudden, unexpected events that seem to throw life off course. Whether it is a traumatic experience, a loss of a loved one, or a life transition, my extensive experience can help you through the challenge being faced and leave you feeling more content and confident.

If you are looking at this, chances are that you will need support for you and/or your loved one. I am a licensed practicing therapist and I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and family issues. I have been working all of my career trying to help cultivate that "family environment" that we all strive for. I work with parents and children to help change the entire environment to nurture maximum growth in the person as well as in the relationships that the person has. I am highly qualified to work with you and your family.

If you are seeking lasting behavior change, spiritual growth, improved relationships, emotional healing, adaptation to health challenges or access to the power of your subconscious mind, we may be a good match. I enjoy collaborating with those who've had less than satisfactory experiences with traditional therapy. My approach is highly intuitive and focused on engaging your subconscious resources, which are the primary source of insight, sound decision-making and sustained behavior change. In addition to applying these methods, I strive to be a compassionate, empathic partner in addressing your challenges.

I enjoy working with people of all ages, races, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, and cultural backgrounds. I am committed to helping you to discover new things about yourself and work towards your overall well-being, regardless of where you come from. I believe everyone is the expert on their own life and hold the keys to success within themselves and I am here to help them access those keys.

Do others take so much of you that you’ve run out of pieces of yourself? While you’re taking care of work, family, or school expectations, how would you have time to even notice your own needs? I work with so many women, from college students to busy professional moms, who know this feeling. It seems we’re taught that our self-worth is rooted in other people’s opinions, instead of how we see ourselves. That can leave us dealing with stress, low self-esteem, weight frustrations, and more. In my 25 years of experience, I’ve never met a woman who wasn’t strong, resilient, and much more than how she sees herself.

Life not going quite as smoothly as you hoped? Relationship not as fulfilling as it was in the early days? Struggling with past hurts and trauma? Or feeling less motivated or more anxious? My passion to explore, learn, and help others, motivates me to find the best ways to help you become a better, happier, more fulfilled you. Truly, I believe transformation and change is possible through your own self-discovery and connection with others. I combine my humor and straight forward approach with a safe and encouraging environment. Together we work on goals and a plan for you to move forward to great opportunities for change!

Greetings! I specialize in getting you to specialize in you! I work from a client-oriented perspective. I can easily adapt and help you to work on everything from developing a safety plan to creating a self-love/self-care plan to developing healthy coping mechanisms to career counseling. I am here to help:)

I have always enjoyed getting to know the depths of what is going on inside of people. My favorite clients have been hurt and have kept masks on for a while. Their intuition tells them that coming to life means revealing their truth and becoming present with what's going on inside of them. My therapy is not designed to be a one size fits all and I appreciate those who are motivated to grow, even if they're not sure exactly the direction. I am also a yoga therapist and help folks heal through working with their bodies. I enjoy working with: men, anyone overcoming trauma, and anyone looking for a big permanent change in their life.

Don't you wish life came with an instruction manual? Sadly, it does not. Do you want or need to make a change in your life, but do not know where to start, or feel hopeless because you have tried and failed before? Do you want to gain the insights necessary to make lasting changes in your life? If so, I would love to help you find your way through life. Each client is unique, has a unique journey, which is I meet each client where they are when they start counseling.
