You want to feel confident, calmer and regain control of your life. You’re trying, but you’re stuck. You might be feeling like a fraud, or afraid, depressed, anxious … or struggling with relationships, or questioning your use of alcohol, drugs, sex or other behaviors. Sometimes you feel so alone with all this, like no one wants to hear about it, or it’s just terribly uncomfortable to share. Somewhere deep inside you know there’s more to life. A place where you can feel more comfortable with yourself and in your relationships. My many years of experience has shown me that change is absolutely possible.
I care deeply about my clients. In working with me you’ll find that I am gentle but direct and active. Together we’ll find new ways of approaching problems that have been keeping you stuck. My work is influenced by my continuous study and training in evidence-based, trauma informed modalities such as AEDP, Intersubjective Psychodynamic, and CBT.
I know it can be hard to take that first step but if you’re reading this a part of you is already in motion and the conditions for change are ripe. If you contact me we’ll have a free 15 minute consultation to explore your goals and situation in more depth. From there we can decide if we’re a good fit and if you want to take the next step.

Groups
Depression Therapy Group
Small group forming to meet this very lonely place and facilitate healing. I aim to create an environment where you can feel safe to share your pain, be understood and start to experience change. It is with others that we can be seen, met, learn to take risks and begin to shed the restrictive hold of depression. Together in this dark place there is opportunity for transformation. We can learn to meet some of the scary parts of ourselves with bravery, curiosity and with the newfound support of the group.
