Sometimes life can feel like a rollercoaster that we somehow can’t seem to exit, don’t know how we got on it in the first place, and are then having to white knuckle it as best as possible. That is why I went into this field to not only learn tools to help others work through challenges, but also provide a space to feel safe, seen, and fully understood without judgement. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you, help you grow, and help curate security with yourself, your relationships, and feel more emotionally balanced.

When you are struggling it can be hard to know where to begin, and even harder at times to believe that getting what you need is possible. You may have unresolved feelings, situations that you are trying to make sense of, or patterns and behaviors that you feel stuck in.
Your experiences and feelings are worthy of our curiosity and consideration. Through our conversations together, the therapy process can help us get to know you better, and open up possibilities for greater understanding, compassion, connection, and resilience in your life and relationships.

As a mindfulness-based psychologist for over 30 years, I offer a warm and welcoming space for you to explore yourself and your life experience. This is the basis for discovering your own capacity to make meaningful change and growth in your life.
My practice integrates the gentle openness of Eastern wisdom with the active Inquiry of Western psychology, drawn from the fields of Psycho-dynamic Depth Psychology, Mindfulness Based CBT, IFS, and Somatic Therapy.
Our meetings will help you foster the ability to put your insights into action in a sustained and satisfying way. With greater clarity comes a greater capacity for change.

A clear sense of what's bothering you, a persistent feeling that something is off, or simply a desire to understand yourself better: all are a place to begin.
You may find yourself overthinking relationships, worrying about how you’re perceived, struggling to rely on others, or feeling like no amount of achievement is ever enough. Often beneath perfectionism, self-criticism, or overaccommodating is a thoughtful and sensitive person who learned early that vulnerability didn’t feel safe.

You should feel seen, heard and understood. You should never feel judged, and you should always feel welcome. If you choose to spend your time with me, that is what you can expect in therapy. Therapy is at your pace, and it starts with us building a relationship. I listen to your story, get to know you and your goals and learn how to best support you. Together, we look at who you are, what you believe and how you cope with challenges to determine a treatment plan that is right for you.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step so that life may get different for you. The beauty and benefits of re-examining how we can make changes in our lives, continues to fuel my passion for therapeutic dialogue. The integrative nature of my work allows for us to look at family of origin explanations, without blaming, so that you can move toward change. When what feels like roadblocks comes up there are a number of tools that can help, like increasing mindfulness and learning more around boundaries and assertive communication.

No matter what challenges you are facing, I believe everyone has the capacity to make changes in their lives. At times these emotions may feel heavy, but I will do everything in my power to show you that healing is possible.

Would you like to feel more whole, more at ease with yourself, more alive in your life? Coming to psychotherapy, we find we often don't know our hearts and minds, why we suffer, and what will allow change. I offer in-person psychotherapy for adults wanting a depth approach that brings greater understanding of why you think, feel, and behave in particular ways, so that you can renegotiate who you are and become more alive. I'm particularly oriented to helping unravel trauma histories, and supporting those emerging from difficult families of origin where you weren't seen, heard, or given space to become who you truly are.

Whatever you are going through, you shouldn't have to go through it alone. Sometimes, we encounter barriers that can keep us from living the joyous life we deserve. Maybe those barriers include: depression, anxiety, or trauma reactions. Perhaps you need help on building your skills, strengths, resiliency, and emotional awareness to cope with the various challenges throughout life. Or, maybe you want the tools to align your life with your values and vision. Even though painful, difficult experiences are inevitable, that does not mean we can't live our best lives, or be our most authentic and fulfilled selves.

Pain is the best teacher, but often it can be difficult to understand what emotional pain is trying to speak. It may be trying to get your attention through an unwanted behavior, an unbearable feeling, or an unbreakable thought pattern. It may show itself in repeated relational dysfunction, addiction, or disturbances in mood or sleep. I find I work well with people who are exhausted from trying to manage or control emotional pain, and are ready to face it holistically and head-on. I also help people suffering from complicated and acute psychological problems which have not responded well to other therapy treatments.

Many of my clients look successful on the outside but feel stuck. They find themselves overthinking, people-pleasing, and questioning their worth. Many grew up with a parent who was critical or emotionally immature, and now struggle with boundaries, self-trust, and anxiety in relationships. Others are navigating the impact of a more recent event like a difficult breakup, accident, illness, or loss that they just can’t seem to move past. Longing to address these issues, my clients are seeking insight, healing, and empowerment.

You’re tired of being on autopilot, pretending that everything’s fine because you know it’s not. You feel like you’re sinking into quicksand with no way out. You’re overwhelmed, worried, and exhausted. You know that what you’re currently doing isn’t working, but you feel helpless and unsure of what to do differently.

Being a teen, young adult, or parent is tough. There are so many stressors and pressures that can create anxiety, self-doubt, and strained relationships. Feeling alone is a hard space to live, but having a supportive guide along the way can make all the difference- this is my goal in working with you. In my work I support teens, young adults, and parents with anxiety, grief, life transitions and more. I particularly enjoy working with college students and young adults as they navigate the unique stressors of college, first jobs, and forming their identity outside of the family home.

As a naturopathic doctor, I offer a holistic approach to mental health. I work with patients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue, difficulty with concentration and poor memory. Often these symptoms are hand in hand with gastrointestinal issues, headaches, irregular or painful menses, infertility and other hormonal imbalances. By treating the whole person I can get to the root cause of the symptoms, looking at genetic, dietary/lifestyle, and other factors that might be contributing. I do not offer mental health counseling, however I work closely with several therapists to offer collaborative care.

Sometimes the current challenges of our lives, as well as unhealed wounds from the past, impede our ability to live as fully as we aspire. Through creating a safe and compassionate therapeutic space, I strive to work collaboratively with clients to consider a variety of possibilities in how they relate to and meet their unique life challenges. Ultimately, I believe that being understood is a powerful catalyst for change.
