Stress is a part of all our lives and manifests in a variety of ways. I provide stress reduction and other counseling modalities for individuals, couples and families. For over 30 years, I have worked in a neurological clinic, medical emergency rooms, hospitals, and psychiatric settings. I have a great deal of confidence working in these settings and in physicians and nurse practitioners. With this experience, I have a lot to offer the people who see me. You are welcome to call for a free consultation.

Many of the people who come to see me feel a sense that something essential is missing, muted, or under pressure beneath the surface. I work with thoughtful, creative, over-functioning adults who look capable on the outside but feel internally strained, restless, or disconnected from themselves. People often reach out when insight alone hasn’t brought the relief they hoped for, or when they are tired of performing competence while feeling privately overwhelmed, stuck, or depleted.

My approach is warm, direct, and holistically based. I recognize and honor the inner workings of the mind, body, and soul. As Ram Dass says, "We are all just walking each other home." I believe my approach to therapy is just that. I recognize the wholeness and specialness of each person that I work with. While also lovingly holding the space to challenge and bring to light where protective patterns, old narratives, and adaptive strategies may not be working anymore.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate relational transitions—whether you’re letting go of a relationship, rebuilding after one ends, grieving the death of someone dear, or growing into a version of yourself that your old relationships can no longer hold. My work draws on depth psychology and attachment theory to integrate the unconscious patterns shaping your relationships and your capacity for secure connection. Ultimately, this work is an invitation to individuate—to shed the relational dynamics that have kept you small and step into who you are truly becoming.

My therapeutic skills allow me to offer you much more than mere coping strategies. I don't want to help you cope with anxiety, depression, PTSD etc. I want them to disappear. You were not born with symptoms, believe me. They exist because they are emotional artifacts of events from your life that were then stored in your nervous system & memory. When you get in situations that remind you of these events, you get plunged back into exactly what it felt like to you. For 23 years I have been using a technique that resolves these memories and their symptoms, and as a result restores the full expression of self that went missing.

Are you looking for an embodied, creative, collaborative, and deeply transformative approach to navigating your life's challenges? My clients are soulful individuals and couples who are serious about healing the root causes of pain and conflict. This journey means connecting with the deep wisdom of your psyche and becoming more courageous, vulnerable, empathic, and accountable in all areas of your life. Many of my clients describe themselves as people for whom talk therapy "hit a wall," and who are looking for a therapist who can help integrate the spiritual process of "waking up" with the emotional process of "growing up."

I specialize in working with developmental trauma, complex PTSD, attachment disorders, OCD, co-dependence, anxiety, and depression. Feeling trapped, experiencing obsessive worry, the voice of the inner critic, or that sense of doom, can leave us feeling fragmented, split off, and dysregulated on the inside. Restoring emotional regulation, healing negative thought patterns, and improving healthy boundaries are often a focus of treatment. I believe the foundation of effective psychotherapy lies in a trusting relationship to foster and support growth and change.

I love working with couples as well as individuals interested in hike or nature-based therapy. From our very first session you will take home practical tools for both communication and relaxation. In moments of stress, you will have less blaming ways to express what you need to keep things from escalating. For those times when you do lose your cool, you will know more about calming yourself down before saying something you regret. I'll help you learn to be kinder to yourself, to be aware of how you talk to yourself. For starters, don't believe everything you think!

It takes a village...Navigating through the transitions and challenges in our lives is meant to be a collaboration with family, friends, elders, wise women and men. However, in the times of instant change and mobility, some may find themselves lost and alone, far from those they confide in and look up to. Sometimes they isolate for fear of vulnerability and the pressure to appear "to have it together". When this self-judgement and drive to be “perfect” eventally takes its toll, one can be left feeling bereft of deep connection to self and others. Finding a therapist you can trust and confide in, can help you find your way.

You’ve been told you’re too much, but often feel like you aren’t enough. You know what you need to do, but you can't seem to make meaningful change. Many of my clients struggle with things like anxiety, shame, attachment wounds, trauma, or the aftershocks of complex relationships. I work with clients of all ages: younger ones who need extra space for big feelings, adolescents navigating the turbulence of the teenage years, and adults exploring past and current patterns to understand, heal, and grow. I help clients address their current mental health concerns while developing a deeper understanding of themself.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially if you've been carrying anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, or difficult life experiences for a long time. My goal is to create a space where you don't have to navigate those experiences alone. I believe healing happens through a relationship built on safety, curiosity, and compassion, allowing you to reconnect with yourself at a pace that feels right for your nervous system. My approach is grounded in Somatic Experiencing, Relational Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, while integrating parts work, mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches when useful.
