Clients often experience challenges that manifest in anxiety, depression, substance abuse and relational issues. They need a supportive clinician that can hold space for them to do the self-exploration and reflection needed to experience healing. I find that these issues usually stem from early relational wounds. Understanding the root cause for distress can be the most impactful and sustainable approach to long-term healing. I am passionate about helping my clients establish a greater sense of self so that they can thrive in their relationships and their lives.

If you are in a committed relationship that is stuck in painful patterns, I can help. If you are having sexual problems such as low sexual desire, I have particular experience and training that can help; even when the passion has been dormant for a long time. I have much experience with other relationship challenges as well such as healing after an affair. I love working with couples and look forward to helping them discover inner resources that can help in unexpected ways. Pain or divorce are not your only options. There are ways to be interpersonally creative. In addition, I am a certified EMDR therapist and use it often.

I believe every person has the right to be heard fully and deeply, with understanding and without judgment. Whatever your difficulty, my first step will be to listen until we are both satisfied that I understand you, your problems, and your dreams. As you begin to listen to yourself with this same objectivity and compassion, you may begin to see the solutions on your own. Of course, with a trained ear, I will also be able to contribute insights and perspectives you may not have considered.

I truly enjoy working with women at all stages of life. Whether you are a working professional, pregnant, a parent, and/or a caregiver, I see the complexities that you are navigating, the overlap that can occur in these roles, and the overwhelm that you might be feeling.

My goal is to support women in living a fuller and meaningful life. To feel lighter, acknowledge your strengths, and to find healing and peace. Together, we'll work towards your goals while identifying your own personal values and goals.
