The stress of trying to manage it all when it feels like you're drowning is exhausting! I specialize in working with women feeling overwhelmed by relationship issues, parenting challenges, loss and grief, or traumatic experiences. My clients often struggle with feeling depleted; they're tired, their thoughts keep racing, the anxiety's overwhelming, and they can feel really stuck and alone with their pain. It's a lot! And when life stressors occur it's ok to not feel ok, it's human. Some who are used to doing things on their own may question why healing would be any different and so continue to suffer. You don't need to go it alone.

Engaging in therapy takes courage and strength. I approach therapy with warmth and compassion to create a safe space for reflection and healing. I work with teens and adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, and general life stressors.

In my opinion, psychodynamic therapy is an essential part of psychological work and can be beneficial for people from all walks of life. I have found that psychodynamic psychotherapy is an effective treatment option for those struggling with overwhelming emotions. One of the benefits of this approach is that it helps to create a safe and trusting relationship, which is important when learning new coping skills.

My foundation as a psychotherapist began with art. My first degree was from the San Francisco Art Institute. Art making is always a form of self-study. My approach to to art was always with an interest in making concrete shapes from the mystery of one’s internal life. Because of this psychological understanding of art, I pursued a master’s degree in art therapy. While working as an Art Therapist I also served as a caseworker with the chronically mentally ill population. I wanted to further my education so enrolled in a social work program which culminated in my receiving an MSW and then worked to earn a LCSW.

I offer both traditional psychotherapy and executive coaching for Fortune 500 companies.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I tend to work well with people who: 1) want a space to “get it all out” and share openly with a third party, 2) learn more about their mind or emotions and how they work, 3) collaborate with someone to gain a fresh perspective, and 4) find solutions or gain tools to manage their issues that lead to the alleviation of distress.
