Are you helping an aging parent navigate the challenging transitions of older age, illness, or dementia? Are you, or someone you love, overwhelmed by the emotional realities associated with a life-limiting illness? If so, I offer calm and compassionate emotional and practical support to navigate the daunting uncertainties of illness, aging, and death. I work with elders and those living with serious illness (as well as those who support them) to cope, plan, and prepare for the trials and transitions of everyday living. When necessary, I help plan and prepare for a meaningful and healing end of life experience.

My background, experience and approach, make me uniquely qualified for helping individuals and families make the changes that they desire. I have worked with people in both school and community settings thus, I respect how the environment and life circumstances shape thoughts, feelings and behavior.

It can sometimes take a brave moment to finally call to get help. I understand that most people would like to solve their problems on their own. My task is to remind you of how to do that. Anxiety, depression and relationship issues can take away the strength to see the way out. I can help. Old ways of thinking or past experiences cloud the present and block us from living fully. Our work together will assist you in being more fully present in your life and in your relationships. Interactively, I will support you and challenge you to change.

Finding a new therapist can be overwhelming. My goal is to provide my clients with a safe and supportive space as we explore how you can find greater peace and clarity. If you're feeling stuck, anxious, or unhappy with certain areas of your life, I can help you examine what is causing those feelings so you can gain greater insight and overcome patterns that may be holding you back.

Since 1995, I have been involved in the field of adoption. For the first twelve years of my practice, I worked with families adopting domestically and internationally. Throughout that time, I began to realize that, although adoptive families experience the same challenges that all families face as their children develop, they cope with additional challenges which have their roots in adoption. I am able to provide you with sensitive, adoption-competent therapy which is based on the latest research in the field. I also have extensive experiences helping you navigate life's challenges and transitions.

I work within a Holistic and Strength-Based Foundation, with a profound understanding of the impact of environmental elements, and the effects these elements cause in the mind and body. Emotional influences cognitive influences physical/physiological influences emotional well-being: these internal systems are intricately woven in a magnificent tapestry that is the individual at any given moment. The individual is further affected by the external systems of family, job, school, neighborhood, spiritual affiliations, nutritional selections, and on and on. I believe in the power of the individual to learn to heal the Self and achieve Wellness and Peace in all Systems.
