Are you anxiously waiting for the other shoe to drop and can’t let yourself feel at ease? Maybe relationships feel fragile, so you overextend yourself so as not to disappoint others. If you struggle to ask for what you want/need, I can help you change these deeply ingrained patterns. In therapy we will focus on building a trusting relationship so we can explore the underlying causes for your emotional suffering, which are often unconscious. Common issues I work with are anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, codependency, grief, trauma, and depression. Relief is possible and you don't have do this alone!

I focus on helping people separate their preferences from their problems, identify values that are most important to them, and determine the actions that will best express those values. I work collaboratively with people to detail their future hopes and honor the histories that inform their current experiences and relationships. "Therapeutic conversations help us navigate the limitations and dilemmas we all face. We each have ongoing stories about our lives, which are written by multiple authors: ourselves, our families, community, culture, and society. Some of these stories empower and embolden while others constrain and limit."

With over fifty years of experience I've grown to utilize that experience and awareness to connect with you in such a way that you might expand your understanding of yourself in the world and expand the quality of your self and your relationships. Empathy, insight, education, positive regard, mindfulness, and gentle confrontation are all tools for each of us to utilize.

Healing is a delicate and powerful process of transformation that involves the emergence of an authentic autonomous self in the presence of an empathic other. Our work together will focus on the areas of your life that are inhibiting the power of your full potential. We all need our pain witnessed in an effort to move beyond where we feel stuck. Through compassion, active listening, challenging explorations and a space where vulnerability can be safe, I support my clients growth in an encouraging and straightforward approach.

My therapeutic practice involves a gentle, safe and collaborative approach in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and early relational wounds. We accomplish this process through psychodynamic theory and body oriented methods such as Somatic Experiencing which integrates neuroscience, mindfulness, and attachment theory. The nervous system is the pathway between the mind and the body where many of our past experiences and feelings are stored and often "stuck" causing emotional and physical pain. The goal of therapy is to release these unaccessed areas and strengthen one's sense of self, find resiliency and tolerance and have the capacity to build solid interpersonal relationships.
