I work with those currently in a relationship--and those who would like to be in one--but who've found that road is a bit rocky. If you're a couple stuck in painful patterns, if your communication isn't working--or if you're single and attracted to the wrong kind of partner, or find that you tend to "settle" when you're lonely or discouraged--I can offer you a personalized, effective, satisfying approach to resolve your challenges, a way to stay true to yourself and yet be vibrantly open to the loving intimacy you seek.

In our sessions, I will provide a comfortable environment where we can explore what may be weighing you down. Are you having a hard time feeling good about who you are, your relationships, or difficult life events? I can provide you a safe setting to speak from your heart, figure out what things in your life you need to shift, and learn how to get the life you deserve. I can help to empower you and help you manage uncomfortable feelings. I offer an empathetic and strength-based approach through exploring past experiences and giving suggestions to help you move toward the life you want.

You are a parent seeking care for your child, or maybe you have a specific goal in mind for yourself like emotion regulation or relief from depressive symptoms. Perhaps you just feel stuck in the ever moving matrix of dissatisfaction and dysfunction. Whether you seek deep psychological growth or relief and understanding of a specific symptom, we will work together to help you become more aware of and relate differently to your experiences. We will compassionately explore any barriers to your healing including those often perpetuated through habits, narratives, and ways of relating to ourselves and others that no longer serve us.

I am an experienced clinician and gauge our work by the progress you are making towards your treatment goals. I have supervised and trained clinicians in treatment settings ranging from the counselor's office to acute mental health facilities. I also have a professional background in the arts and work with self defined meaning, identity and creative processes. Symptoms are quite manageable, but often get in the way of the quality of life if left untreated. I provide a safe and dynamic space in which we can effectively together target your goals. My work specifically is in Lacanalysis and I am in ongoing formation as such.

Anxiety is a universal and painful experience. Its causes are legion: abandonment, fear of failure (or success), transitions, traumas, aging and death. Supporting you in transforming your anxiety into positive growth will be our goal. Transpersonal hypnotherapy is invaluable in addressing grief, death and dying. In dealing with loss, we will create connections through hypnosis to address what remains incomplete. As my essential paradigm is empowerment, I serve as your guide, facilitating experiences in a grounded, safe way with your full participation. Hypnotherapy, free of the constraints of adult language patterns, offers a primary road to healing your deepest self.

I know how important relationships are, and how little we are taught about how to do them! I work with women who are feeling disconnected from themselves. Women who are struggling with body image issues, eating disorders, trauma, boundaries and relationship issues. I'm here to help facilitate a relationship between you and all parts of you. I believe there is creativity, reflection and expression inside of everyone and it can be easier to communicate without words. I bring warmth and energy to the room, my laugh is infectious. I bring levity to situations that can sometimes feel overwhelming and heavy.

Anyone who is contemplating a desire for self exploration.

I'm curious about people: how our unique histories have shaped us, how we relate to each other & what motivates our behavior in relationships. I specialize in processing relationships with couples & individuals struggling with codependency, communication, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem & identity. We often get stuck in repetitive behavioral/thinking patterns that block us from living the lives we yearn for. We may feel misunderstood or disconnected in our relationships. We may avoid intimacy because we don’t want to get hurt again. We may have a harsh inner critic & lack self-love. Do you experience this in your life?

How would life be if you felt nourished inside and out? Perhaps you've never known true inner ease, or perhaps only now life is throwing chaos at you in ways you didn't ask for.
