My experiences encompass a broad range of areas including depression and/or anxiety, physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect, attachment and bonding, child and adolescent behavioral difficulties, family-of-origin, trauma and/or post-traumatic stress disorder, divorce and/or stepfamily, grief, adjustment difficulties, adoption, addictions, and neurobiofeedback work.
Therapy is a spiritual journey to me. I see my role as the therapist to be the mirror to the client, reflecting back to them what I hear them saying about their own knowing, essence, passion, pain, and potential. It is my role as the therapist to sit with the client in the midst of his/her journey and allow him/her the opportunity to get to know and see him/herself, which ultimately leads to a process of loving his/herself. This is part of the soul journey: learning to love ourselves which indeed is a rewarding experience.

From the heaviness of loss, the strain of daily tasks with living anxiety or depression, or working towards overcoming past difficulties, every situation deserves a supporting person to help navigate the healing. Life does not have to be done alone and neither do any complications, whether you see them as large or small. Emotions, thoughts, and feelings are all an innate part of what makes us who we are. To be greeted by them with empathy and warmth from someone else can be something everyone deserves.
