I bring a warm, compassionate presence to help you locate and heal the sources of suffering.

It is a truly an exciting time to have the privilege of working with people in family therapy. In the last decade, advances made in understanding the connection of mind, body and spirit give us wonderful tools for building satisfying relationships with ourselves and others. During my 25 years in practice, I have learned the importance of listening carefully and responding with compassion I see it as my job to create a safe and respectful relationship with you. From this ground, we work, at your pace, with whatever issues unfold. In our work together, you will increase your awareness and authenticity.

Hi! Thank you for checking out my profile! I hope you'll feel welcome to reach out to me if it looks like we might be a good fit for one another. I use a liberatory approach in my practice. This means we'll work collaboratively to go beyond symptom relief, exploring practices for individual well-being that also support collective change. My work is rooted in many decades of contemplative practice and I have a special interest in Buddhist Psychology that often shows up in the therapy room.

I specialize in helping people who are facing life changes, stressors or relationship conflict. Sometimes something horrible or hard has happened in life and you may find you need support getting back on your feet, or making changes in your life. Or you may have suffered for awhile and feel ready now to make a change. I am skilled in helping people navigate these chapters of life, of helping you heal and move forward in a more meaningful and fulfilling way.

I provide integrative psychotherapy for adults, couples, teens and families. I incorporate empirically validated methods, including EMDR, CBT, DBT, and the Gottman method for couples and families. Your concerns are my focus as we work together to develop solutions. I offer parenting support, divorce support, and grief support for families. I am also uniquely experienced in working with families and individuals with special needs, especially youth and adults with ADHD and those on the Autism Spectrum.

It's so hard to find peace when you and your partner can't see eye to eye. Where did the magic go? How did you lose sight of the attraction that brought you together to begin with? "We used to be so in love...what went wrong? My partner feels so far away. How did we get stuck in this pattern of fighting and blame? Even when we try to make changes, we just wind up hurting or avoiding each other in the same old painful ways. Sometimes it hurts so much, other times I just feel numb."

I work with clients from a warm and empathic, non-judgmental approach.

Do you feel alone, lost, empty, or dissatisfied? Are you struggling with meaningless work or overwhelmed about the state of our world?

Perhaps you desire supportive and healthy relationships with people who share your values. Or maybe your deepest wish is to know your purpose, to be involved in inspiring and meaningful work where you can know and share your gifts.

I enjoy working with individuals interested and committed to discovering their own inherent capacity to live a more embodied, present, and expressive life. I am passionate about helping those who are struggling with a major life transition or have experienced trauma/loss regain a sense of well-being and ease in their life and personal relationships. My approach to healing is fundamentally relational and holistic, drawing heavily on mindfulness-based, somatic, and creative expression techniques. I interweave neurophysiological, transpersonal, and attachment based frameworks that allow for both solution-focused and depth work.

We are all learning to become human; no easy task.

I support you in tracking ALIVENESS & empower in your full expression.  Along the way, I teach skills that strengthen your capacity to work with difficult emotions, the inner critic, & habitual impulses while staying connected to the present moment.
