Everyone has within themselves the resources they need to feel better, function better, and engage in more rewarding relationships. But it doesn't always feel that way. My work is to help you clear the barriers to engaging with your inner strengths. No matter what you're struggling with, I'll help you focus on ways to know yourself better, honor your needs, communicate more productively, navigate conflicts more successfully, and manage times of transition with greater clarity, perspective, and hope. Learn how to better tolerate and even grow from your most unsettled parts as you develop trust and confidence in your inner wisdom.
I've been working as a therapist for over 30 years and supervising mental health clinicians nearly as long. I specialize in relationships, including your relationship with yourself. I draw from strength-based approaches including IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help individuals, couples, parents & teens, & organizations attain more satisfying results.
Facing a time of transition? I enjoy aiding those changing careers, considering retirement, or making any shift in role, status, or environment. With mindfulness tools, arts approaches, reading materials, and providing a safe space for reflection, I can help you embrace change with a sense of inner harmony and clear intention. Contact me to discuss further.

My work is informed by IFS (Internal Family Systems) sometimes known as "parts work." I'm drawn to this approach because it is deeply respectful of clients' experiences and builds from each individual's inner strengths. Together, we will clear the barriers to your inner wisdom, as you learn to access and trust the voice of your reliable Self. IFS is especially transformative in couples work.
