I am a depth psychotherapist working with individuals and couples experiencing attachment trauma, addictions, irritability, overthinking, low mood and loss of motivation. If you experience chronic pain, illness or are faced with end-of-life issues, I have over a decade of clinical experience and can help. My goal is to provide a trusting environment to explore who you are and what happened to you, to re-establish your capacity to choose how you want to be in the world. Now is the time to grieve unacknowledged and unspoken losses and trauma.
My approach is warm, intuitive and relational. I have clinical training in modalities including insight and psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, pastoral psychotherapy and mindfulness.
My experience includes pastoral psychotherapy confronting pain and distress resulting from spiritual and religious trauma. I have worked over a decade with patients and families facing death, dying and grief, and in mourning our losses. If you think we can work together, please don't hesitate any longer.

My early training was in energy medicine and martial arts allowing me to weave esoteric with evidenced-based psychotherapy. Blending the transpersonal while listening to our humanity provides intuitive insights that may surpass other forms of talk therapy. Grounding is provided so that these new understandings can bear fruit.
