I work with individuals and couples to create practical, effective solutions for overcoming challenges and releasing the patterns that may be holding you back. Deep within, we often already carry the wisdom we need. My role is to listen carefully, reflect that inner wisdom back to you, and help translate it into practical, empowering steps forward. Together, we can clarify the path that leads you toward becoming more fully and authentically yourself.
With over 30 years of experience as a clinician and Jungian Analyst, I specialize in supporting personal growth, improving relationships, navigating major life transitions, and addressing a range of emotional challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and LGBTQ+ concerns.
Whether you are facing inner conflict, relationship challenges, or periods of uncertainty, we will work together to uncover underlying patterns, recognize your strengths, and open new perspectives. A warm, compassionate therapeutic relationship can be a powerful catalyst for change, helping you move toward the life you truly desire.

In my practice, I have witnessed patients uncovering hidden potential that led to profound transformation. Often life's greatest challenges are fundamentally insoluble. They cannot be logically solved but must be outgrown, seen in a new light, with a new level of consciousness.
