Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed about life? Relationships? The pandemic? Have you experienced something difficult or traumatic? I would be honored to support you. I focus on supporting life transitions, grief and loss , trauma healing, the LGBTQIA2S+ community, climate distress, and existential or spiritual concerns. If you are struggling, you are not alone and I'm glad you are seeking support.

Are you experiencing anxiety to the point of having panic attacks, or feeling so down that getting out of bed in the morning takes enormous effort? Are you feeling alone and grieving, having recently lost a loved one, a pet, a job, or a relationship? Perhaps you are going through a confusing life transition and are looking for a new sense of purpose and direction. Whatever you are struggling with, you are not alone. There are times in everyone’s life when we need some extra support and guidance. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or grief .

You’ve had a big loss - a death , identity, home, your rights, a relationship, etc. The pain is unimaginable. At times it feels impossible to face. Distractions used to work well enough, but life feels out of control and you’re exhausted. You're your own worst critic. You'd never talk to others the way you talk to yourself. From the outside looking in, you’ve got it “together", but it's hard to let people know the real you-even though you want to connect. Worries hijack your focus and ability to relax and even sleep. You move from being on edge to feeling numb and checked out. Life is a roller coaster and you want to feel balance.

Life can be very stressful, especially today in our fast-paced, post-COVID world. You may be trying to make sense of what you are feeling. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety or depression. Maybe you are a parent feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Possibly you have experienced a loss of some kind. A loved one, a job, a home, your health, or any other loss . Unexpressed grief can complicate your emotional wellness. In the words of William Shakespeare: “Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and bids it break.” Telling your story can help you move through the pain and suffering.

Transform your relationship with life! Reduce stress. Release old patterns. As a licensed psychologist and registered yoga teacher, I help clients with the difficult emotional housecleaning needed to build more vibrant, satisfying, authentic lives. I cultivate collaborative relationships with clients and utilize a wide range of interventions including mindfulness, brainspotting, guided imagery, cognitive behavioral therapy, and grounding techniques to address the emotional, relational and physical challenges in clients' lives. Areas of expertise include stress management, work-life balance, burnout recovery, women's issues, grief and loss , transitions, trauma, health challenges, yoga for cancer survivors, and supervision of therapists in training.

For years I have worked with clients who are moving through major life transitions and grief , or working with depression, anxiety, or psychological trauma. When we suffer from distress, I believe we are simply "forgetting" our natural wisdom and the fundamental health that lies beneath our outward problems. Underlying my work is a essential belief that our soul is on a journey in this human body, and we are here to learn deep lessons and celebrate the gift of being human - this implies my optimistic view of human psychological distress.

I strive to provide a safe and therapeutic space for individuals to work on a variety of issues. I believe that each of us has inherent abilities to heal and live a successful and balanced life. A therapist or counselor's role is to use learned skills and therapeutic modalities in an empathic voice to assist individuals in overcoming the obstacles in their life. My goal is to have that person feel mentally and emotionally healthy AND to thrive. I hope to help you unlock that potential within yourself using such modalities as general psychotherapy, art therapy, EMDR, DBT and mindfulness-based psychotherapy.

My approach with clients is relational, somatic/body-centered and trauma-resilience informed - trusting that grief is a natural part of our soulfully lived lives. I provide a strong container, attuned presence and deep listening, allowing threads of connection and meaning to be recognized and woven. Together, we identify and affirm capacities of resilience while turning toward how we are each called to grow and evolve into meaningful connection and service. I specialize in grief counseling, spiritual companioning, dreamwork, somatic and mindful awareness, and life transitions of all kinds, including illness and end of life.

My passion is supporting parents who have experienced difficult births. Bringing another life into this world is an important and challenging experience. Whether you are the individual who gave birth or a witness, there can be immediate and/or lasting waves of physical and emotional difficulties that may effect your life. These paths are unique to each of us because every birth is important and impactful. My work is to listen and journey with you as you explore your birth story and the impacts it has had on your life. Although this is an area of focus, I work with adolescents and adults needing support in other areas of life.

As a parent do you feel overwhelmed? Do you feel as if you have tried everything but nothing works? I can help you and your child persevere through life’s challenges to overcome anxiety, anger, trauma, loss , perfectionism, and adjustment issues. With compassion, perceptiveness, and humor I provide in person play therapy for children ages 4 to 13. In a safe place your child can express his or her feelings, resolve problems, and learn essential life skills.

Everyone is going through something. Perhaps life has thrown a challenging situation your way or you are experiencing unexpected stress. Perhaps you feel anxious or in need of a change. Perhaps you are searching for meaning in who you are or what you have been through in the past. Whatever brings you to therapy, know that healing and joy are possible. I take a holistic approach to well-being - cultivating a non-judgmental therapeutic environment, helping to identify where you may benefit from healing, and tapping into your strengths.
