I believe we all have multiple aspects to our personalities shaped by our years of living. Together, we look at how past experiences influence one's current choices and feelings. Sometimes it can be difficult to regulate all of these feelings, which can affect relationships, parenting and self esteem. I provide a safe, nurturing therapeutic place to explore these issues, and help restore happiness to one's life.

Every individual is unique, whole and complete. Sometimes we have a hard time acknowledging this part and embracing who we are. Perhaps you need extra support or new tools to help navigate where you are at this moment in life. Part of one's journey is releasing old energies that are holding you back in order to move forward. If you are seeking holistic approaches in your therapy sessions, you've come to the right place. While keeping the traditional foundations of therapy, my focus is more "thinking outside the box" in regards to the individual and empowering you to figure out what works best for you.

I provide guidance towards building trust and balance, by forming a growing alliance with you. Together, we find a pathway to renew your mind/body/spirit connection. We access your inner resources, to create a unified sense of self. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, fear, isolation, anger, trauma, we pay attention to these signals. We meet vulnerability with a gentle rhythm, so the heart can release these emotions. Our intent is to nurture a relationship to yourself, based on self acceptance, honor and respect. Our focus is to create a feeling of safety within yourself, security in the world, and an opening to wholeness.

I am specialized in the treatment of older persons. A major issue in aging is the Life Review, and working with persons involved in a Life Review is a primary focus of treatment with me. Erik Erikson has identified the need to resolve the crisis between having an awareness of having lived a meaningful life versus the sense of despair that comes with the feeling that one's life has been meaningless.

Is your child struggling with too many worries? Is your son or daughter a different kind of learner? Are evening times filled with stressful homework battles? Do you wish you could better understand your child's challenges, find more time to enjoy family, rediscover the best and most creative part of yourself?

I bring over three decades of work with individuals and couples. If you'd like to improve communication skills, rekindle romance and true caring for each other, learn to problem solve as a team, and grow your relationship, I can help. I enjoy helping Individuals with codependency, anger issues, low self esteem, depression, anxiety, parenting, trauma, spiritual crisis. I've also worked with military members and veterans. I have taught classes and groups on varied topics.

We all have the potential to lead a fulfilling life. Difficult challenges may keep us from reaching that potential though, and we can find ourselves stuck in repetitive cycles of suffering. I offer individual psychotherapy and neurofeedback with a focus on the alleviation of symptoms through inner transformation. With close attention to the unresolved emotional pain and nervous system dysregulation that drive symptoms, I help clients find resilience within the difficulties they face. I draw from time-tested and evidence-based approaches suited to each client's unique needs, and offer weekly sessions or longer trauma intensives.

How do you cope with tragedy, trauma or stress? Do you find yourself working as much as possible, maybe even to the point of exhaustion?

I'll be honest it will take hard work but you are worth it.

Life will present us now and then with the unexpected.  This clearly is a time of major change for all of us. Not all of this is new nor is it novel. Even in the most normal of times we often do experience unwelcome events, the loss of a loved one, disability, addiction, economic insecurity, loneliness. To live is perhaps also to suffer. But we need not suffer alone. You will find me to be a compassionate, capable psychotherapist. Working together, I can help you to live a happier, more contented and fulfilling life. So then, where are you now? Where would you like to go from here? Would you like to create a new narrative?

Has your life suffered because of trauma you have experienced? I work with individuals, couples, and families to overcome their challenges related to abuse and trauma as well as anxiety, depression, and interpersonal issues. I have worked with survivors of sexual trauma and domestic violence, the LGBT community and unique concerns within that community, and individuals who struggle with co-occurring mental illness and substance use. I'm also familiar with the struggles you may have in managing a chronic illness, such as ehlers danlos syndrome. I value the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental space to work on yourself.
