Aging can be difficult--whether your own or in people you love. You might be grieving the loss of treasured relationships, frustrated with declining health, struggling with caregiving and changing roles ... or simply wanting to age gracefully. Many people experience worry, depression, and anger at times like this; others feel tired or overwhelmed; few know where to turn for information and guidance you can trust, from people who might understand. Aging is my specialty, and I would like the chance to help you reach some peace with your midlife crisis, life transition, grief or pain, caregiving, ... your life.

Do you sometimes feel like you can't get beyond events that have happened in your life? Do you feel troubled or haunted by them despite your best efforts to move on?

You may be facing one of the biggest challenges of your life: a serious illness, significant loss or life change, anxiety or depression. I use both brief and long-term methods, including hypnosis, so that we can make progress quickly and then sustain it. As we work toward a greater understanding and clarity, I will help you to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and sensations; accompanying you through the fear and sadness, the pain and loneliness. My goal is for you to end up feeling stronger and more capable.

Together, we move at a pace that's right for you - rooted in trust, compassion, and the understanding that healing is collaborative.

Today's children are faced with many pressures. Kids worry about lots of things-from being accepted by their peers and parents to worrying about academic pressures, ADHD, divorce, crime, drugs and illness.
We understand these issues must be treated with great sensitivity-especially when working with children and adolescents. And that it is important that the therapeutic process be a positive experience in which young people feel safe and nurtured. Our goal is to help young people trust this process and understand that we're on "their team" as we help them successfully manage their world.

You might be struggling with a painful relationship right now, feeling alternately drawn to and pulled apart from a particular someone. It may be a spouse, parent, sibling, child, friend, even co-worker. Or you might be involved in the often-difficult process of individuation, "growing up," sorting through who you are and who you want to be in the world, distinct from your roles as daughter/son, spouse, parent. My family-therapy skills have proven useful in healing relationship traumas such as abuse, affairs, or divorce, as well as with more general complaints of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and anger.

You might be questioning your direction, feeling disconnected from yourself, or trying to understand why things feel heavier than they should. Maybe your relationship with food or your body feels tangled, or past family dynamics still shape how safe, seen, or grounded you feel. Many of my clients from high school through adulthood are trying to make sense of who they are, where they belong, and what they want their life to look like. You want a space to reflect, grow, and reconnect with a clearer sense of purpose.

You care deeply about your family, and you want to feel close and connected, but instead you may be feeling lonely, frustrated, or confused. You want to be a good parent, but it can be hard if you didn’t have good enough parents. But I believe you can learn to be a nurturing parent and attentive partner.
New parents often experience fatigue, disconnection, or resentment in their relationship. You’ll begin exploring what it means to be a parent, how you were raised, and whether you want to repeat those patterns. Maybe your parents frequently made you feel unsafe, unloved, or worthless.
