I am a change-oriented therapist that uses proven behavioral psychology techniques while drawing from her 30+ years of combined experience as a special education teacher, yoga and meditation instructor, and childbirth doula. I work collaboratively with those experiencing difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma , grief, and interpersonal conflicts.

My psychotherapy practice is informed by formal training in contemplative and psychodynamic therapies, valuing health and wellness. My framework is a natural outcome of my own ongoing therapeutic work and developing spiritual practice, allowing me to more fluently move between the spiritual language of love and compassion and the psychological language of emotional distress and resiliency. The focus is on the here and now, understanding that your early developmental experiences affect your present feelings, mood, and behavior, often masking your natural capacity for well-being. Those experiencing life changes, challenges, transitions, such as loss and grief, anxiety, depression, trauma , divorce, work-related issues would benefit.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Relationship, marital problems,the loss of a loved one, self esteem issues, or a long standing emotional difficulty interferes with coping. Sometimes trauma blindsides our usual high functioning. My therapy style considers each emotional issue from an individual's personal history and situation. I relate in an easy-going accessible way using current interventions that work. Practicing for over 20 years as a psychotherapist, and psychoanalyst, I never lose sight of the courage it takes to make the first call that will help change your life.

I have an ear for what you are saying and may not be aware of. Sometimes it is good to have a trained ear listen while you discuss your issues. I have been listening for over 20 years and have heard it all. Listening has made me less judgemental, more compassionate, and my clients tell me, more able to help. I have worked inpatient, outpatient, with all kinds of clients and every diagnosis. I have received special training in EMDR and use it frequently to help resolve trauma .

I blend 25 years of years of experience and training with psychodynamic, somatic (mind/body integration), gestalt and the expressive arts, to work with individuals, couples and families and specialize in relationships, anxiety disorders, addiction, life/career transitions, PTSD and developmental trauma .My training in Somatic Experiencing enables me to address trauma at its bodily source -an inside out approach that cognitive approaches can’t access. My belief in our human drive for wholeness extends to my extensive work with individuals and families impacted by addiction, a fundamental disconnect of mind, body and spirit.
