Is it impossible to leave "work" at work? Does it feel as though you will never catch up and relax? Are you going over things in your mind over and over again even during those precious times you have carved out for your “so-called” weekend? Career burnout is real. People-pleasing and perfectionism can keep you in a spiral of shame and constant doomscrolling as you try to escape and do anything to just feel better. You don't have to feel bad - even if your inbox isn't at zero!

Whether you’re a person struggling to meet your full potential, a parent hoping to see your child thrive, or a family working to repair broken relationships, good therapy can result in growth and lasting change. It takes courage to be willing to honestly look at ourselves. It takes a safe, open and non-judgmental space, as well as an experienced therapist to make that work possible. As a licensed professional counselor this is the work I do. My approach is open and straightforward. I use scientifically-based methods, years of experience and customized techniques, to match your specific needs.

Welcome! As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I’m passionate about supporting individuals in reconnecting with their most essential sense of self, cultivating a life that feels aligned with their values, grounded in presence, and connected to a deeper sense of belonging and peace. I hold a special resonance for working with those who have experienced early trauma, neglect, or attachment wounds, experiences that can leave lasting imprints in the form of low self-worth, limiting beliefs, nervous system dysregulation, and relational difficulties.

For over 20 years I have been using a new type of psychotherapy called lifespan Integration. High levels of efficacy are achieved. It can pull people out of depression & anxiety in only several sessions. It not only works quickly but very deeply. The ultimate goal of the therapy is the integration of the damaged 'selves' to allow the emergence of a more coherent experience. By working with these 'states' of self, isolated in memory, we are able to find, access and heal each representative self that was hurt. We can even work with memories of infancy where the earliest programming occurs ie. wounds from a narcissistic parent.

My approach is rooted in gentle curiosity and respect for the simultaneous presence of pattern and individual difference at play in your life and sensibility.

This commitment to you as a vast and multifaceted being welcomes the unpredictable, ineffable, conflictual, and symptomatic.

As a Jungian analyst I have had the privilege of assisting adults in their healing processes. Healing and true psychological change come from finding one's own truth and true nature. Whether your symptoms take the form of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-destructive behaviors or problems within your family, breakthroughs can take place in a safe, confidential, and trusting environment. "If you give a person a fish they eat a meal; if you teach them to fish they eat for a lifetime." Understanding that Jungian analysis is a long process I offer a fee based on the individual's ability to pay and sustain the work.

The therapeutic alliance or the relational 'good fit' stands out as the fundamental factor in effective treatment. I am interested in developmental issues in adults and addressing repetitive patterns that stand in the way of growth. My approach is psychoanalytic psychotherapy including attachment , mentalization and creativity based treatments.
