I have worked with hundreds of clients of all ages over the past thirty years, suffering with depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, eating disorders (obesity and the use of bariatric surgery), relationship issues, and major life disappointments. Choosing an ideal therapist is knowing that person is passionate about your well being and will exhaust every avenue to that end. Together we understand you deeply and to validate your best and minimize unnecessary judgments, resulting in an expanded and more satisfying life.

Hello, and thank you for considering working with me. The decision to begin therapy is one that can lead to a greater understanding of yourself and can help you to function better in all areas of your life.

A successful outcome is one in which you leave knowing yourself better and have the ability to lead a more joyous life going forward.

I enjoy following your lead to the topics and concerns that are most pressing for you. I also teach breathing exercises, meditation techniques, visualizations and communication strategies. I use both structured methods like CBT and EMDR and my own intuitive understanding to help you heal. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and grief. For me, therapy is a way of gently holding up a mirror to see our inherent clarity and wisdom that is like the blue sky above the clouds.

Do you ever wonder if there's more to life than just surviving the day to day? Each day feels like a struggle, and you wonder if it will ever get better. You're a strong person, but you're realizing that the trauma you experienced in your childhood is catching up to you. You're triggered by little things that didn't bother you before, and the coping skills you've been using aren't working anymore. You're often so busy caring for everyone else that you forget to take care of your basic needs. You're wondering what plan the universe has for you, but you know there has to be something better than this.

Sometimes we just need a band-aid to get us through a rough patch, and other times a deeper dive into long-standing patterns and struggles is the right focus - both are valid approaches! Choosing the right therapist is an important step, so let's chat about questions you might have and make sure you get the right fit. I work with individuals, couples, and children, and from time to time I also offer group workshops. I have specialized training in EMDR, Play Therapy, and have over a decade of clinical experience.

Trauma-informed care is aligned with my values in a therapeutic relationship, focusing on client empowerment, trustworthiness, safety, and collaboration.
