"Over the past 20 years I have supported clients in overcoming challenges and empowering their authentic selves. Through counseling, coaching, and group work, I've helped them activate their inner resources and realize their inherent potential. I believe growth is served by identifying and integrating core material which obstructs access to essence, passion, and life purpose. Enhancing self-awareness, employing mindfulness and nonviolence, I help clients listen to their Body's Intelligence ©, connect to inner wisdom, and take courageous action.

In-person and telehealth available. I work with adolescents, adults and couples. We all experience anxiety, depression, anger, stress and sometimes the trauma that can occur in our families, our relationships, our friendships, our workplaces and our everyday lives. Some of these stressors are triggered when we break-up, begin a new relationship, start a new job, start at a new school etc. Some individuals need to be sat with and have a space held for them, some are looking for collaborative support and guidance on their life's struggles.

If you don't have another diet in you I understand. Diets may seem punitive and restrictive, and often cause feelings of failure and guilt. Thankfully, there is another way! By working with me, you will (safely) take a "deep dive" into the underlying emotions, which cause you to reach for food when you aren't physically hungry. Together we will explore new healthy rituals, which will replace the powerful (and proven) ritual of eating instead of feeling. My treatment model is strongly rooted in self-compassion, mindfulness and positive psychology principles. The therapeutic goal is to find peace with food and your body.

I’ve been working with children across the developmental spectrum for 15 years now through my various roles in schools, childcare, and now as a therapist. I strongly believe each child’s needs are unique. What works for one child or family, doesn't necessarily work for the next. Some children’s behaviors are more difficult to understand. Some children feel deeply in ways that their peers do not. I’m here to offer you a non-judgmental space to explore the current dynamics of your family and explore which changes can help create a more harmonious and enjoyable household.

You have likely arrived here today because you feel powerless and utterly overwhelmed. After hitting the snooze button for the fourth time this morning you awoke with a gnawing sense of despair and dread about the problems that wait for you. The incessant barrage of distressing thoughts and turbulent waves of emotions have made your mind feel like an altogether hostile environment which many times you would like to escape from. At this point you may be unsure of where else to turn for support and part of you may very well be questioning whether you will ever find relief from the constant emotional turmoil you are facing.

Are you feeling anxious or stressed and find it hard to get out of your head? Do you feel consumed with worry? Perhaps you feel stuck in a sad place from a past loss or a present difficulty or feel little hope for the future. These feelings can cause us to isolate and feel misunderstood by others. Many times, people feel beaten down by the world and end up turning their experiences inward, feeding a harsh self-critic who makes us doubt or judge ourselves, taking us away from the power of our inner resources. When we feel disconnected to ourselves, it is harder to build trust to connect to others and the larger world.

Many of us struggle in our lives unconsciously stuck with a perspective that has helped us survive our past, but is no longer serving us in the present. I use an integrative approach drawing from Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Theory and combine them with teaching new coping skills and mindfulness tools to support my clients in finding hope, peace, and healing. I help my clients explore the underlying thoughts & beliefs that may be contributing to feeling stuck in their lives. By helping release from these unhealthy patterns I hope to guide clients to better and more fulfilling lives.
