I respect the courage it takes to begin psychotherapy and choose the path of healing. Most important is the building of trust. My presence is kind and authentic, with healthy boundaries. An experienced Individual and Couples therapist, I teach relational skill-building, personally and inter-personally. I'm comfortable with all kinds of trauma, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, addiction, loss & grief, spiritual, medical or psychiatric issues. I encourage clients to identify and move closer to what is really important in their lives. I've witnessed lasting change as clients become more secure, creative & alive.

Are you feeling alone, struggling with limiting core beliefs, wounding or trauma? I can help! As a seasoned, skilled and caring practitioner I help unpack psychological issues, emotional needs, spiritual unfolding, early childhood neglect and issues of death and dying? In an atmosphere of safety and compassion we can address your life transition, relationship pain and suffering, compromised health, grieving, loss of purpose or spiritual confusion? I'm here to listen, navigate, transform and rewire the agony, hurt and aloneness that's running your life. It's possible to open your heart, trust and find your inner voice & purpose now!

Many challenges we experience in daily life relate to conflict between parts of ourselves. Each part reflects our body’s own loving attempts to care for us in the ways it knows. When we shift one part of the feedback loop, the whole system rearranges - in our bodies, & in our relationships. My approach to individual & couples therapy is holistic, somatic & client-centered. I start with creating a non-judgmental, inclusive space for you to come as you are. As we form & reach for your goals, our work may include movement, developmental psychology, trauma work, regulation practices, behavior/communication coaching, & creative guidance.

Whether your child or teenager is facing challenges that you are not sure how to handle, or you are a young adult facing the complexities of life and feeling overwhelmed, I believe counseling can help. I have a passion for helping children, teens, and young adults grow their skills and confidence so they can live a life where they feel they can thrive.
