Have the conditions of the world pushed you to your edge? Are you glued to the media wondering what atrocity will be reported next? Are you worried, anxious, can't sleep? Do the smallest of tasks feel like giant mountains to climb? Wondering where to turn? We understand! Life sometimes feels like a fight you can't win. But there is hope. You don't have to do it alone.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for 18 years, working with clients from 17-70+ years of age: individuals, families, couples (including same sex couples), those from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, as well as parents and their adult children seeking to heal old wounds, re-establish connection, and improve their relationship. Whatever your objectives (even when these are not clearly identified), whether it is to identify and change limiting beliefs, thoughts and behaviors, work through deep grief buried long before it was possible to understand or process, or having problems with relationships. I can help you..

As a somatically oriented psychotherapist, I work with the body, mind and spirit and bring hope, love and a deep curiosity to each encounter. I work with adolescents through seniors to heal and transform suffering and revive aliveness. I honor our deep human need for connection, understanding and joy by being fully present with whatever arises in the present moment.

My job as your therapist is to help you connect to and listen to your own wisdom for navigating what troubles you, using my 10+ years of clinical experience, and my personal values of openness, non-judgment & compassion.

Hello! I’ve been working with children, teens and adults in a therapeutic context, for over 13 years. I offer emotional, psychological and spiritual support through eco-therapy practices, somatic and transpersonal techniques. I have additional training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy, & Plant Spirit Healing. I'm interested in guiding one through a transformative experience while cultivating their present moment awareness in order to emerge and align with one's Higher Self and life purpose.

I love working with clients who are motivated to make change in their lives. I understand that it takes courage to enter therapy and share your closest secrets with a stranger. With a BA in Women's Studies and a PhD in clinical psychology, I am trained as a scientist-practitioner and have taught college-level psychology classes for over a decade. I draw on the latest research to guide my interventions. I see therapy as a collaborative process: You bring the expertise about yourself, I provide the training and scientific knowledge to help you clarify and reach your goals. I want to help you become your best version of yourself!

Children, adolescents, adults and couples: I am trained in EMDR - a Cognitive Behavioral approach to help relieve past trauma and current issues. I have a Masters in Drama therapy which allows for exploration of parts of yourself through movement, sound and role play!. I offer an empowering, client-centered approach to therapy that is tailored to meet the needs of each individual. Feel more confident and positive about current life experiences and day to day stressors, as well as, be able to cope and make change more effectively.

Are you struggling to find your footing in this difficult new world of ours? The pandemic has changed our lives and its up to each of us to regroup. Most of us had challenges to deal with before COVID-19 became a thing. I work with clients who are overwhelmed by the demands on their lives from work, school, relationships, or life itself. I see children who have difficulty focusing in school, performing their best, or getting along with others. When children have problems, parents need support too! Families improve when children and parents work together. I also see adults with trouble sleeping, thinking clearly, or reaching goals.

I'm the therapist and coach that individuals discover after having gone through the gamut of various self-help strategies and to no avail you are still feeling stuck, lost and trapped in dysfunctional patterns. You've read every self-help book under the sun, tried medication, you've been to therapy....a lot, and maybe even a few ayahuasca ceremonies. You went gluten-free, keto? No sex… for a year? yet you still sabotage your intimacy, achievements & motivation. Your past and your trauma is still clearly running the show; and you're tired, worn down and ready to flip the script towards complete transformation and permanent change.

Are you looking for some good counsel? Someone who listens well and can help you feel more connected to yourself? Are you struggling in your relationships? Have you suffered a major loss? Are you being hard on yourself, feeling unappreciated, depressed, or anxious? These are all signs that you could use some emotional support. Therapy is a safe place to slow down, turn your attention inward and learn to "say what you mean and mean what you say." With practice, you will gain clarity, self-compassion and a sense of empowerment.

Hi! ****I'M NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**** Are you needing support and guidance through this challenging time right now? Are you looking to find peace and clarity? Could you use some help navigating a divorce or break-up? Are there parenting issues that need to be worked through? Is there a part of you that really needs some attention and counseling but is scared to reach out? Please call me directly for a free phone consultation. Let's see if we are a good fit...

You are not stuck; you are not truly limited. You are only limited by your current thoughts, past conditioning, and the harm and distortion that has created. Those limiting beliefs disrupt your wellbeing in ways that look like stress and anxiety, frustration, anger and depression, addictive self-soothing behavior, and conflict in interpersonal relationships. And much more. They inhibit and damage your ability to find and live into your calm and confidence, your limitless potential.
