Many of my clients have experienced chronic illness (including cancer, kidney disease), grief/loss, family conflict, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss of routine and/or job, trauma, loss of identity.
I am an advocate for those who struggle or were not fortunate enough to have certain life privileges, and believe in doing/saying what is right despite pushback from large corporations. Social justice issues are important to me. I have no tolerance for hate/discrimination of any kind, or my clients being taken advantage of. It starts with having a heart.

I specialize in working with individuals ages 13 and up who are navigating illness, grief, loss, and/or trauma. My passion for supporting children, teens, and adults impacted by a life-limiting medical diagnosis is informed by the years I've spent as a medical social worker. My training and experience in palliative care have equipped me to accompany my clients and their families regardless of where their illness journey may lead. In my bereavement work, I support clients affected by all manner of death, with a particular focus on grief after the death of a young child or sibling.

I believe that healthy, thriving relationships are not only possible but essential to your well-being. And most important is the relationship you have with your self. Together we will discover new ways of navigating life and engaging with yourself and others that support deep and lively connection. We will focus on building bridges, not walls, restoring trust and inviting curiosity. Particular areas of specialization include mindfulness-based stress reduction for depression, panic, and anxiety; interventions to help navigate grief, loss, and life transitions; and innovative couples counseling for all stages of relationship.

There’s no one therapeutic approach to help us live happier lives. Recovery from painful experiences, emotional or physical abuse, a complicated hurt-filled relationship, impasses at work, coping mechanisms that no longer help—these different challenges deserve flexible approaches. Childhood skills no longer fit the problems we face as adults. Grief that couldn’t be dealt with then is more complicated now. Relief from depression and anxiety cannot work if confidence, strength, and intimacy are blocked. Understanding the whole person—creating new approaches and thoughtful solutions to problems—is the way I think and work.

Welcome! I offer clinical treatment to people experiencing trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, & issues of identity (race, gender, sexuality, culture). Traumatic experiences have a way of shackling themselves to the body, whether they are accumulated over time or single incidents which compromised our safety. We seek to protect ourselves from a world that failed to protect us, often coping in ways that hurt in the long run. In our work together we will identify sources of pain, the impact they have on your life, & determine ways to reclaim power so that your body becomes a place of safety rather than a site of trauma.

I am a psychologist practicing for over 30 years. My approach is to listen, understand the difficulties you have, and develop a way that we can work together so that you are able to deal with the issues that matter to you. I mostly work with people with depression, anxiety, and/or emotional trauma and help people who feel unhappy with themselves and/or who are having difficulties with others. I also work with people who feel they are not dealing well with changes in their life or believe they need to make changes.

Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide both an opportunity to be challenged and to grow. In my practice, I welcome adults, couples, adolescents and families who wish to improve the quality of any dimension of their lives - from professional, family and parenting relationships to emotional, interpersonal, or physical challenges. Drawing upon specialized training focused on gaining insight (psychodynamic), building skills to manage emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral) and understanding relationships (family systems/relational), I work closely with individuals to develop understanding and identify goals that address the distinct factors that may be inhibiting life pursuits or interfering with personal, academic, or professional satisfaction and success.

People say "you are too sensitive" when you share how you feel. Your family and heritage are important to you but there is tension. It's hard to feel relaxed in your body. At times you feel restless and at other times stiff and numb. Feeling balanced is tough. At times, you feel hopeless. You don't like how you tend to replay conversations in your mind. There are too many negative and anxious thoughts that come.
