Feeling overwhelmed, stressed or having trouble regulating emotions? Do you find yourself suppressing and avoiding the symptoms related to these experiences? Whether you're experiencing a significant loss, a difficult life transition or simply need help understanding feelings, maybe it's time to let someone join you on this journey. Someone to provide the empathy, active listening and safety that's needed in order to unburden wounds and begin to heal. I take great pride in providing that environment. Someone did that for me and it transformed my life. It would be a privilege to do the same for you.
Through active listening and clear intentions trust can be built. Trust is paramount in order for change to happen. Clients deem me as relatable, compassionate and direct. Using a person-centered approach, my specialty areas include Internal Family Systems, life transitions, grief and loss, men's and women's issues, trauma and aging.
Led by a deep curiosity of the human condition and my own experience with managing pain and suffering, let me put myself in your shoes and see where it takes us.

Pain and suffering, grief and loss and trauma-related symptoms are common among most of my clients. I treat these symptoms carefully, slowly, with a person-centered, empathic approach grounded in a mix of internal family systems, humanism and strengths perspective. The early work around safety is the key to building trust in the room.
