I've been a therapist since 2004 and I still feel truly blessed to do the work that I love. I believe that people have the capability to create change, adjust to adverse experiences, and overcome hardships. I also believe in the resiliency, hope, and power in people to learn from mistakes, build skills, formulate positive perceptions, create healthy relationships, develop a sense of security, heal, grow, and be happy. In our work together, you can expect a safe and supportive therapeutic space and process. My style is open, strengths-based, and collaborative. I am also direct with humor and compassion.

Do you sense your life has become unmanageable? Do you feel there are roadblocks in your relationships? The journey of life can become bumpy. I offer a safe place to walk alongside you while facing distress, anxiety, heartbreak, or other disappointments life can bring. I will help to guide you toward healthier relationships. I address parental relationships with children, couples relationships (both premarital and couples counseling). I also work with individuals in gaining insight into interpersonal conflicts. I work with parents and children struggling with finding the joy in raising kids including families facing the challenge of disabilities.

Maybe you've tried talk therapy, medications and other approaches that haven't worked and aren’t sure where to turn. Or, this is your first foray into working with someone. As a holistic relational therapist, I utilize somatic (body) and IFS approaches to help you heal behaviors, limiting beliefs, triggers that once helped or even saved you, but are no longer serving you today. Compassion, collaboration, acceptance and pacing are key elements of my approach.

Accessing hope, grounding, greater energy, and newfound peace are my specialities and passion, and I assist the patient to take charge in finding harmony and illuminating a vibrant life. Working creatively and eclectically I assess the unique strengths and needs of each adult who calls. My goal is to assist clients to become more masterful in their lives at every age. Using the lens of in-depth traditional psychotherapeutic knowledge, empowered with neurofeedback brain training, I aim for faster outcomes than those possible with “talk therapy” alone.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been a therapist for 26 years. I worked in residential treatment, medical social work, outpatient therapy and private practice. I am someone who listens closely to your story and current needs to find solutions to ultimately help you achieve a healthy mental state. Each session will be directed by you to tackle long term issues or problems that come up each week. I have many different treatment approaches to help you see why you are experiencing difficulty in your life.

Are you working towards a more fulfilling life but continue to find areas where you get stuck or become overwhelmed? Are you hurting inside and unsure of where to turn? Many of our struggles stem from our relationships with others and we often need tools for navigating them, help with setting boundaries, and support in healing the wounds that might arise. Clinicians at Embodied Life Therapy Center bring a wealth of knowledge, training, and experience in working with relationship issues and the impact on our lives as a result.

My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

I believe there is hope for you, no matter what you are struggling with, or how intense your suffering is. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and evidenced-based treatments that empower people to learn, grow, and heal. I value psychotherapy that addresses the whole person. My goal is to help people overcome difficulties, reach their potential, and effect real and lasting change.

Regretfully, I am currently NOT accepting new clients. After 40 years of practice, I find that while theoretical frameworks are useful, much more significant is the relationship that the client and therapist develop. It is in this relational container that the most important relationship is forged and manifested; that of the client to themself. My style is dynamic, directive, and intuitive.My sense of humor is pretty good too. I have great respect for my clients' intelligence, time and resources and don't want to waste them.

Currently Accepting New Clients. Are you feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed by traumatic experiences, work-related stress, problems in relationship or concerns about your future? Are you needing to adjust to an unexpected change, or feel confused about your identity or path in life? Maybe you just need someone to talk through things with you, someone safe to confide in, or to learn some new skills. Why struggle alone when affordable help is available?
