I believe we all carry within us everything we need to heal. There are also times in our lives when we need extra support to access inner resources, healing and growth. As your therapist, we will explore together ways that old habits, patterns and history limit the life you want to be living. Whether you are stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, facing big life transitions, worried about your teen, or longing for more meaning and connection in your relationships, you are not alone in your struggle. It is a courageous act to get support and I honor your unique life journey.

There are many times seeking therapy in the short-term can feel necessary to help navigate a crisis situation. And other times, it can be a longer process of self-exploration and growth. In either case, engaging in therapy is an act of hope and the bravest thing we can do is ask for help. I will meet you and your family where you are with compassion, and without judgement.

My clients over the past 20 years have found me to be warm, collaborative, authentic, active, non-judgmental, calm and grounding. I believe in the therapeutic value of our relationship, while using evidence-based treatment modalities such as CBT and CPT to reduce symptoms. My approach is trauma-informed and incorporates humanistic psychology and mindfulness to improve your relationship with yourself and others. In my practice I have treated a wide variety of challenges, including mood disorders, PTSD, gender and identity issues, postpartum depression, relationship issues, addictions, and the psychosocial impact of health problems.

As a clinical psychologist for over 20 years, I help people move through their current challenges and ultimately toward that which matters most to them. Clients often come to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes such as retirement, parenthood, divorce, or serious health problems. Naturally, people want to feel relief from the isolation and suffering that these issues can cause. But I find that people also want therapy to help them feel more resilient, closer to those they love, kinder to themselves and more committed to their well-being. It all begins with a phone call.

"Sometimes when you're in a dark place you think you've been buried, but actually you've been planted"--Christine Caine. There is something painful in each of us that is waiting to be retrieved, healed and shaped into something beautiful. Our grief and longing draw us closer to our truest selves and help us surrender to being reshaped. Are you aware of what is withering inside of you to make room for the flowering of your Truest Self? Together we do more than just "fix" what troubles you...together we "craft the medicine" that truly heals.

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.

I have over 25 years of experience in developing an empowering and collaborative therapeutic relationship to support healing from trauma and childhood abuse---physical, emotional and/or sexual. I also work well with people who have "attachment wounds" (painful or distant relationships with parents/caregivers) which can often result in depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties in present relationships.This is especially challenging for the child who is highly sensitive and/or has a very different temperament than other family members. I have also worked with many people with Dissociative Disorders.

Fulfillment from relationships and the transformation of heartbreak, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and isolation are all possible. Sometimes we need outside support to help us identify our strengths and guide us down a path that leads to healing.

I welcome individuals and couples of any gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and spiritual beliefs.

Please just call. I will help you feel comfortable, having done this work for over 40 years. I attend closely to my client's own described experience. Through my understanding of you, I help you understand /deal with your own core (existential) issues which cause suffering. My role is as facilitator/ spiritual midwife. The true catalysts for change arise from daily life. Ultimately a client learns to: know self more deeply, feel obstacles energetically, face conflicts consciously, and release any internal resistance blocking movement. Real growth must occur in integrated ways throughout body and mind.

Finding safety and the conditions in which to explore all aspects of your experience are vital components in the therapeutic process. The introduction of art, play, and somatic therapies may provide additional ways to bring creativity to the exploration of the material at hand.
I work with children and adults and I specialize in exploring and reconnecting to one's core self. Trauma, illness, and anxiety can disrupt this essential connection - it can be regained.
