It is a privilege to help others who are seeking support on their journey. As a licensed psychologist who enjoys working with adults, children, families, couples, as well as groups, I appreciate a holistic approach to lifestyle changes. It is important to consider physical, mental and emotional health to increase our quality of life. We don’t have control over some circumstances in life, but we can work to optimally navigate what comes our way. Cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, mindfulness for stress reduction, managing occupational strain and psychoeducation are some of the techniques I find helpful.

Our internal worlds are richer than we can imagine. They are home to our most difficult feelings and wounds, as well as our greatest gifts and deepest truths. They hold our keys to healing. Going inside can be challenging, yet incredibly fruitful. A seasoned partner can help make internal work less overwhelming and more empowering. In my experience, exploration of our internal world can help us live more regulated, meaningful, resourced, and authentic lives. I help people engage with their internal selves through a mix of approaches such as somatics, parts work, mindfulness, metaphor/symbolism, and nervous system regulation.

My therapeutic style reflects a client centered approach and a humanist perspective. My experience is that emotional healing is facilitated most readily within the context of a safe, compassionate, responsive and supportive relationship. I tend to work with clients utilizing Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a significant part of my therapeutic framework. I believe that a healthy Self is intrinsic in each of us and that healthy Self can grow and flourish at any age I have extensive experience assisting clients with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, relationship, parenting and attachment issues.

Therapy is a space you carve out with me to reconnect - with yourself, your goals, your life’s meaning, your passion, your creativity, your spiritual path. We all struggle with difficult things at times; they pull us away from who we want to be, or the path we intend to walk in life. I believe relationships are the most important healers we have in our lives – starting with your relationship with yourself! Extending to all your other important and beloved relationships - with family, friends, community, planet, and spirit. No matter where you are, your journey to self-empowerment and joy begins Right Here. I will be there with you.
