It is said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Has your journey hit a detour or perhaps a fork-in-the-road? Often, life’s most challenging passages offer us opportunities to feel more alive, present and connected. At the same time, these passages can be difficult to navigate. When feelings of sadness, uncertainty or fear become overwhelming it is helpful to have someone who can help you find your way – to help you get back on your path and discover new possibilities and hope.

I am a Certified Brainspotting Therapist and the focus of my practice is healing trauma. "Trauma results in a fundamental reorganization of the way the mind and brain manage perceptions. It changes not only how we think and what we think about, but also our very capacity to think.” (Bessel van der Kolk). Brainspotting is a gentle, neuro-experiential process that facilitates access to the issues awakened by the trauma in a unique intra-psychic way that enhances processing and allows for meaningful integration of cut-off, frozen parts of self and re-establishes the natural harmony between mind, body and spirit.

It feels like you and your partner are stuck in a cycle, having the same arguments on repeat. Sometimes, you can’t even remember how the fight started. You wish there were a way to instantly fix the communication between you, to go back to when talking was easy and just being around each other felt good. You miss the laughter and the closeness you used to share.
If this rings true, couples therapy might be right for you.

Are you struggling with a transition, experiencing the loss of a loved one or a relationship, or perhaps have lost touch with your own sense of joy and vibrancy? Therapy can help to bring you to a new place of understanding, perspective, inspiration and purpose. I am passionate about supporting individuals to create and live authentic, heart-centered lives. I am a holistically oriented therapist which means I believe in the connection of body, mind, and spirit and emotions.

In my practice, I attempt to address suffering: what makes us suffer, how we suffer, and how suffering can be alleviated. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with life issues and are not afraid to take on the suffering consciously, with my support, in order to transform their lives. I specialize in the treatment of addictions of all kinds, but primarily chemical, co-dependency, sex and romance, and gambling. I also specialize in the treatment of trauma/PTSD, both from current life situations and from childhood experiences.

Are you unsatisfied, tense, restless, or exhausted but can’t figure out what what the real problem is or what to do about it? Do you feel stuck in self destructive patterns or painful emotions but can’t shift those patterns with consistency? Do you feel stressed or overwhelmed in your life and feel unable to truly rest and refresh? Perhaps you are a hard worker, but all your effort has left you feeling heart heavy or exhausted, and fun and joy are too rare. I’d like to help you access your innate healing capacity to find peace and ease in your body, revitalize and come into a fuller and more satisfying expression of yourself.

Congratulations on taking this step, especially at this time of so much distress. We can speak via phone, zoom, or FaceTime. In 40 years of treatment, I have assisted many clients on the spectrum which ranges from: curiosity about past lives, managing minor life changes to more complex issues of depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Unexpected life events, difficult phase-of-life issues, loss, and trauma are often painful and intense. I can help you to explore and to understand the thoughts and feelings which underlie your current concerns, whether they are new or have existed since childhood.

I work with people who have Medicare insurance. My clients come to see me because they are in need to talk to someone about the changes in their lives, as they get older, as well as their feelings and needs around being isolated from the pandemic. As people age and reflect on their lives, some things can come up that need to be discussed or released and my practice offers a safe space to do so. Some people have a need for a therapist who can provide tele-health services over the phone or on a video chat and I offer these options to my clientele.

Life can push us beyond our capacity to manage well. Therapy is a vehicle that can help you find healing and balance. I work with the whole of you. I nurture your spirituality which I believe is the root source of healing. As you more fully embody your integrated self, anxiety and depression can subside. A feeling of well-being arises, you become more open and can engage more authentically in your relationships. I embrace non-dual philosophy affirming our interdependence with the unified field which, when attuned to, naturally generates a deep sense of connectedness. Our work together can bring you to a new paradigm of living.

Most of us seek therapy in crisis: facing divorce, job loss, a cancer diagnosis, etc. This means danger and opportunity. The danger is shutting down (hiding your feelings) or "acting out" (fighting or seeking comfort in affairs, the internet, alcohol/drugs etc.). The opportunity is to learn new ways to connect deeply with yourself and those you love; to accept and express your deepest feelings and needs; and to hear others' feelings with openness. You can create your life anew and authentically. I know this road personally. And I welcome you, as you share your journey from crisis to growth.
