You long to feel peaceful, present, and comfortable. Your brain is always worried about the future, criticizing yourself about the past, & overwhelmed in the present. Your thoughts affect your body, too, with muscle tension, an uneasy gut, and a heartbeat that revs up at the drop of a hat. You barely remember what it's like to relax; just getting through the day takes work, and sleep is a nightly struggle. It's impacting your health, work, parenting, and relationships. It's hard to feel hopeful. You're looking for something and someone who can help. The good news is that feeling better-even enjoying life-is at your fingertips.

I offer hope through my skilled and active support, using a holistic combination of talk therapy and body-based techniques. I'll help you recognize the shifts that are already emerging, in a way that reduces the natural resistance our systems have to change. Our work together is trauma-safe and focused on enjoyment. The goal is long-lasting healing.

It's time to reach out for help, and I'm ready. I’ll meet you right where you are, and be an ally on the journey to where you want to be. Let me help you enjoy your life and your relationships. You CAN shift the troubling thoughts and feelings that are holding you back. Call me now for a free, no-obligation consultation to get started.

I work with clients who seek healing in both body and mind. Both anxiety and depression come with physical symptoms that increase your pain, and talk therapy alone doesn't address these effectively. In general, unmanaged stress creates wear and tear on our bodies. I will work with you holistically, leading to a greater sense of peace and more energy to pursue fulfillment and enjoyment of life.

I tailor treatment to your individual needs, recognizing the family, community, and society in which you live. Along with talk therapy, gentle somatic (body-based) techniques are at the core of my practice, including Somatic Experiencing and Organic Intelligence. Hypnotherapy can be a relaxing and enjoyable way towards healing. Online therapy is effective and fits a variety of lifestyles.
