I have over 40 years of experience helping people face challenges in their lives including loss, adoption related issues, addiction, relationships/couples, life threatening illness, chronic pain, anxiety, mood and bipolar disorder, PTSD, complex trauma, divorce, and other life transitions.
I have extensive experience with couples and can help bring a sense of intimacy and depth back into your relationship. I work to break the cycle of blame that can become a pattern with conflict, increase clear communication for better understanding and increase the capacity for compassion towards one another.

I am passionate about supporting adolescents and adults of all life stages navigating grief and loss, trauma-related symptoms, relationship and family-of-origin issues, identity exploration, and attachment-related concerns.
I utilize a blend of psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based modalities, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma. EMDR is an experiential psychotherapy treatment designed to alleviate psychological and physiological symptoms associated with traumatic memories through the use of bilateral stimulation.

My practice embraces a diverse range of psychological challenges, including anxiety, grief and loss, major life transitions, trauma, relationship and identity issues, severe and persistent mental illnesses, caregiver fatigue, and addiction.
As a relational psychotherapist, I guide my clients—adolescents, adults, and couples—towards their inner worlds to unearth the solutions and healing they seek. The struggles people face today often stem from unresolved emotions, psychological scars, past traumas, family dysfunction, community and systemic issues. By turning inward to identify, understand, and nurture these hidden parts of ourselves, profound healing can be achieved. My approach is anchored in psychodynamic thinking, enriched by insights from transpersonal and liberatory frameworks.

I have experience helping clients with a variety of specific issues, including: stress reduction, anxiety/fears, depression, grief and loss, relationship problems, coping with illness, trauma, problems with low self- esteem and LGBT issues.
Difficulties in life provide tremendous opportunities for growth and healing. Rather than viewing symptoms, distressing emotions, etc. simply as "problems," I see these as the pathway toward greater personal growth and freedom. I use a variety of methods and techniques to help clients achieve their goals, emphasizing cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based therapy techniques, as these have proven to be effective in both my practice and formal research studies. This approach often leads to greater psychological well-being, more connection to others and an increased ability to “live in the present.”

You may be experiencing loneliness, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, loss, creative blocks or the effects of trauma and oppression.
I work with adults, adolescents and couples in a patient, respectful and collaborative way to understand and work through underlying dynamics which may be outside awareness. I believe that our personalities are formed within primary relationships and therefore transformation is possible with deep understanding and acceptance of another person.

My focus is helping unconventional people, LGBTQ2SIAA people (with a focus on elders and youth), people in non-traditional relationship configurations (poly, non-monogamous, kinky), and people who are going through pet illness and pet loss.
Are you struggling? Are you feeling you have to withdraw from the world or you've lost some of the spark for living? Maybe you consider yourself unconventional in some way. You may feel like it's hard both to be yourself and to get the support you need, as if the message others are giving is "You can be your authentic self or you can have their compassion and understanding, but you can have both." Maybe this has lead to feeling isolated or like others can't truly understand what you're going through. Therapy can help.
