It is the desire of every human being to be loved and to belong. The only true thing that distinguishes us from one another is our experiences and our perspective of those experiences. Your past, the personal struggles and decisions you currently face and the conflicts between you and those you care about does not define you. What I offer is empathy, compassion, and support with a focus on creating a warm, safe and welcoming environment where you can be heard and understood without judgment.

As a seasoned therapist and social worker, I believe in the transformative power of community and individual healing. My approach is rooted in the understanding that our bodies, minds, and spirits are interconnected with our social and political realities. Drawing from the wisdom of thought leaders and healers, I utilize a relational approach to psychotherapy that honors your lived experiences and deep-seeded wisdom. My practice integrates client-centered, attachment-based, emotionally focused, and sensorimotor psychotherapy frameworks, recognizing that true change comes from within and ripples outward to our communities.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist. In my 25+ years as a psychotherapist I've come to appreciate the wisdom found in various therapeutic models. So I've developed an integrative approach. I believe it's important to tailor the therapy to the individual. Our past, present, and future all influence our choices and behaviors. So I find it helpful to put on trifocals to see where we're at, how we got here, and where we want to go. As social beings our interpersonal relationships are vital to our well-being and happiness. Sometimes our interpersonal style helps us connect with others; sometimes it gets in the way of our relationships. Checking out our personality style is often beneficial. As individuals we are unfolding in our own unique way and I believe there is an inner wisdom that leads us to who we are and what we really desire. Sometimes we get disconnected from ourselves and need to get back in touch by looking inward.

Does life sometimes feel overwhelming? Do you or your child have a difficult time engaging in or completing everyday tasks? Does it seem like nobody understands what you’re going through? Sometimes children or adults experience situations in their life, past or present which can have a significant impact on their life, overall daily functioning and relationships. These situations can leave them feeling sad, angry, withdrawn, shameful, unmotivated or a variety of other emotions. These feelings and behaviors can be confusing for anyone and that is where therapy can help.

Are you finding that life is becoming overwhelming, stressors piling up and feeling paralyzed? Wanting to engage in the world to find meaningful connections, but left wondering how others might perceive you? Turning to short-term distractions for comfort, but left dissatisfied? The way we interpret ourselves can have a profound impact on the way we interact with the world around us. When we start to believe in the voice of the "Inner Bully" our lives can become that much more burdensome, driving us to seek out ways to avoid or detach to escape negative feelings. Trust me when I say, I've been there too, and I'm here to help!
