"Many of us appear to be functioning well in life, but in reality feel like imposters, often stressed and unsatisfied in our lives and relationships. I foster the discovery of genuine peace and fulfillment through "undoing aloneness," helping clients embrace their best and worst selves, and unearthing a more self-compassionate and authentic way of being. My clients are typically individuals and couples, seeking treatment for anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and a wide variety of relational issues."

"I treat individuals and couples. People see me to help ease distress and often to find greater meaning in life and connection in relationships. I work in a relational and supportive way, addressing underlying issues to resolve them. This process can alleviate sadness, anxiety, depression and resolve inner conflicts, while building self esteem and a conscious relationship with your inner self.
A fresh perspective enables you to find your strength and courage, to clarify your thinking or even enliven deadened passions. At times psychotherapy can be difficult, but it also creates surprising and meaningful changes in your life."

"I work with individuals from young adulthood through older age, and couples have been a specialty for more than 25 years. Life events and experiences can cause stress, confusion, grief, and myriad other feelings which, when internalized, result in anxiety and depression.

I work with people to resolve, heal, accept, and cope with loss, trauma, illness, family, marital and work issues, and more."

"As a child, adult, and couple's psychologist, my goal is to provide treatment with care and integrity.
Children come in for school problems, behavioral problems or mood disturbances including anxiety. I provide support and coaching for parents along side the therapy for their children.
Adults come to see me for desire to live with less pain, more peace. Couples engage in work to improve communication or manage a stress that is effecting the relationship.
The therapeutic relationship is a powerful medium for change. Regardless of the reason for starting therapy, most people get tremendous relief."

"I specialize in helping people connect with their present moment experience, emotions and thoughts in new ways. Anxiety, trauma, addictions and depression all drive negative and harmful ways of relating to ourselves and others. Mindfulness, Somatic (body based) experiencing and EMDR combined suppors inner change and resilience. This integrated approach allows change to happen at the level of the nervous system via our innate drive to heal. We are always changing; it's happening passively all the time so why not face and connect (instead of bracing against) our experience so we can truly heal."

"People often seek therapy when they sense that their lives could be bigger - when they feel limited by old patterns, beliefs and behaviors. We all share the human need for freedom.

Clients I've worked with have reported benefits such as experiencing more joy; greater inner peace and wellbeing; more satisfying relationships; a deeper sense of connection with others; more effective communication; enhanced creativity; and greater self confidence."
