My goal is to help you achieve your goals. Having done this work for 35 years the issues that have sadly remained consistent are the high levels of child sexual abuse and adult sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. A significant number of people will have an assault in their lifetime, so you are not alone. My doc dissertation was on sexual trauma, resilience (surviving), & posttraumatic growth (thriving).

After 14 years of higher education in psychology, I use a variety of evidence-based methods to address a broad spectrum of challenges for adults and teens from diverse backgrounds. Some people require a more structured approach with homework and skill-based work to enact change. Others require a more fluid and exploratory approach to develop insights used to improve outcomes. We usually need a combination of both. Regardless of the course of treatment, I am active and engaged in your process and always adapt my approach to you. I am outcome focused and work diligently along side you to grow and meet your goals in a timely way.

You are good at your job. You hold yourself to a high standard. You are excellent at managing other people's problems. Perhaps everything is still working, at least on paper, but something seems off. Maybe it's your relationship, or how you feel about your work, or a distance has grown between you and the people you care about. It feels like you have been managing it mostly alone, and you are starting to wonder how long that is sustainable. I work with individuals and couples who are under real pressure and are ready to think carefully about what is not working and why.

On the surface, you seem put together. But beneath that, you’re exhausted from holding it all in. You overanalyze everything, struggle to relax, and feel like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough. I help high-achieving, self-doubting individuals move beyond perfectionism, overthinking, and people-pleasing.
In our collaborative work, we'll delve into your inner life, unravel limiting patterns and beliefs, and foster a mind-body connection. From this more present, embodied space, life's challenges evolve into opportunities for growth and transformation. Together, we'll work towards a new vision of your life.

I work with high-potential, creative and sensitive beings, who may feel stuck and burned out. I've discovered personally how somatic therapy revitalizes the organism and resolves psychological and health issues at the source. In particular it can shift anxiety, chronic pain, depression, loneliness, and imposter syndrome. It works to restore the nervous system to a state of healthy regulation, energy, flow and feeling at home in your body. This provides a foundation of authentic self-esteem that becomes the basis for a meaningful career and a network of healthy relationships—a life that feels great on the inside.

Do you ever get to work and realize you don’t remember the drive? Does life feel like too much, but you don’t have anyone to talk to? Do you keep your feelings inside, hoping they’ll just go away?
Sometimes, life can feel like a shaken soda bottle. Things get turned upside down, and you might feel like you’re about to burst. But everyone "explodes" in different ways—some get angry, some shut down, others just feel stuck.
As your therapist, I want to help you turn those hard moments into something more manageable. Like a soda, we’ll work on slowly letting out the pressure carefully, and in a way that helps you feel more in control.
