I was blessed with talented trainers, gifted post-grad supervisors and diverse work experiences ranging from adoption, substance abuse, hospitals, the elderly and folks with the inevitable problems life presents.
My goal is to provide a comfortable environment to help people "Say Everything". My special talent is helping people talk freely. I encourage humor and sometimes even fun: it can make the seemingly intolerable more easily managed. I have a genuine respect for my patients. This work is an honor. My training as a psychotherapist began as a child, listening as my parents and their friends talked about jobs; marriage, children, aging parents, etc. This has led to a lifelong fascination with human relationships and the workings of individual minds and hearts. Home visits available when necessary.

Beginning therapy can feel like a challenging process, so I am happy to help ease the process in any way that I can. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adult clients to feel more comfortable accessing and working through their emotional and cognitive processing in hopes of strengthening coping skills and practicing authentic self-reflection. My therapeutic and humanistic approach focuses on encouraging agency, supporting goals, and facilitating healing. I believe that a thoughtful and psychodynamic process of individualized or group art therapy creates a space for safe emotional and creative exploration.

I believe that true emotional healing comes through holistically tending to the body, mind and spirit. I offer full range psychotherapy services that I combine with several Somatic or body-based techniques. As a registered Yoga Teacher, I have been known to incorporate meditation, breathing or physical postures in my sessions. The research shows that trauma, grief and the after effects of some of our experiences are stored in our bodies. What better way to heal or release them from our bodies than to intentionally use body exercises to move this harmful trauma energy out for good. I work with new mothers, children and families.

Immediate Availability! Yung Pueblo, one of my favorite writers says, "Personal transformation is not easy. Healing yourself takes time. Letting go can sometimes feel overwhelming. Building new habits can seem like an uphill battle. Even with all of these challenges, inner work is worth it. This active form of self-love can radically change your life." Growth isn't just about being in full bloom; it's the process by which you get there...and how you continue to thrive after all the messiness from that growth. But often, you can't do this alone or without the right tools, support, and encouragement. That's what I'm here for!

Adoption Therapists
Does my adopted child need therapy?
Not every adopted child needs therapy. However, many can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss surrounding their birth parents, or find it difficult to establish an identity, a challenge that often becomes most apparent during adolescence.
When should adoptive parents seek therapy?
Prospective parents can benefit from therapy even before an adoption—for example, to voice worries and fears; to reconcile infertility struggles, if relevant; or simply to prepare themselves for parenthood. After the adoption, parents who are struggling to bond with their child; are unsure how to talk about adoption or related issues, such as race; or whose child is dealing with developmental, behavioral, or psychiatric concerns can address these and other issues with the help of an adoption-competent therapist.
Is family therapy appropriate for adoptive families?
Family therapy can be invaluable for strengthening the bond between adoptive parents and children, helping the latter feel more secure in their place in the family. Family therapy can also help adoptive families navigate complex communication issues—for example, parents who feel uncomfortable discussing race with their child, who in turn feels invalidated by their silence, or a child who has questions about his birth parents but avoids asking them out of fear of hurting his adoptive parents’ feelings.
What therapy is not appropriate for adoption issues?
A discredited therapy known as “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy” or “rebirthing therapy”) should not be used to treat adopted and foster children, though it was largely designed for this population. Attachment therapy involves restraining, coercing, and punishing the child in order for them to “release” negative emotions and attach to their new caregivers—techniques that are abusive and dangerous and have even proven fatal in some cases.
