Welcome! I help people foster and maintain safe, loving, vibrant and sustainable relationships with the understanding that most issues people face are relational and that healing comes from connection. I have expertise in C-PTSD, unconventional relationship structures, all stages of parenting including adult children, and climate anxiety and grief. I draw from multiple models: Emotionally Focused, Narrative, Mindfulness, Somatic, and Improv, with a sensitivity to multicultural backgrounds. I’m an actively engaged, compassionate therapist who’s fond of the saying, “People who laugh together, last together.”
I come to psychotherapy after a significant career in children’s entertainment, childbirth and parenting education, and draw from my vast and varied life experience. Now that my youngest child is launched, I'm spending the rest of my professional life helping individuals, couples, families, and groups heal, improve and enrich their relationships.
Please note that finding the right therapist is vital to having a satisfying and successful experience in which your needs are met. I highly recommend taking advantage of free consultations to ensure that you feel understood and that you can imagine forming a connection since this too is a relationship!

Groups
Improv for Couples
Improv teaches people to listen to each other, make eye contact, build trust, work as a team, and laugh together. And a couple that laughs together, lasts together! A couple that plays together, stays together! "The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.” Carl Jung 6 Wednesdays, March 20 - April 24, 2024 via Zoom

Old Moms Group - Mothering Adult Children
Like a New Moms Group only for mothers of post-college aged adult children. Parenting doesn't end when children grow up, it evolves and while there is a lot of parenting support for new mothers, parenting adult children comes with its own challenges. Some topics discussed include: dependence, cut-off, and what is "success"; children's partners and growing families; cultural and generational differences. 6 Fridays, March 8 to April 12, 2024 via Zoom
