I offer an individualized holistic approach consisting of evidenced based therapeutic interventions and alternative strategies that build and heal intimate, social and family relationships through support, relational counseling, brain coaching and nurturing parenting methods to realign and bring balance to your life.
I acknowledge there are no instructions when it comes to relationships. And I also know that children, just like adults, want to positively attach and interact with the world around them. I understand the desire to raise healthy and responsible humans and to be in healthy relationships ourselves as adults. Whether you find yourself struggling to connect, facing unexpected changes in mood, discovering a loss of life satisfaction, experiencing parenting for the first or 5th time or going through a major life change, I can guide you through the process to find yourself again.

Living with addiction issues often lead to isolation, I'm here for you and will help you reconnect to yourself, your family, your community and improving your quality of life.
I believe we are already whole and intrinsically precious but have forgotten and need to get back to a place of wholeness and connection. I help people identify their core beliefs, what is and is not working for them and re-define themselves in a more positive and accurate way; helping people to believe in themselves and their ability to set and achieve what they see as priorities, living in greater alignment with their ideals. Communication is an art form, a skill we can all improve to speak our truth, owning our perspective and creating a safe space to speak their own truth.

It is rarely easy to find a way out of whatever it is that is compromising our ability to be fully present in our own life. We might describe this powerful emotion as anxiety, or depression, a difficult mood we are in more often than not. We may also think of this feeling or mind state as an obstacle we must overcome before we can fully engage with other aspects of our life such as relationships, professional ambitions, creative projects. Perhaps we have a story of ourselves that remains untold, or partially told. A story which is a source of despair because of its untapped potential.

I specialize in working with older adolescents, young adults through adult who are struggling with behavioral/emotional/or cognitive symptoms related to anxiety and stress. Looking below the surface, many people uncover developmental trauma, unlike an intense event, happens through our developmental growth period it is how we learned to see ourselves, sense our own innate human value and how we interacted with the world. This may show up in your life as perfectionism, difficulty doing boundaries or being assertive, self care etc.

Is your life turning out the way you planned? Are your personal relationships succeeding? Are you finding the right career for you? Do people know the real you? Too often we lose track of how we exist each day. Depression over past mistakes or anxiety about what might happen in the future prevent us from being who we really want to be in the present. The goal of counseling is to help you develop a better relationship with your 'self' in order to improve your relationships with others. Check out my video on YouTube to learn more about my approach.

I have both in person and video availability. I work with people who have trouble with relationships, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, rage fits, struggle with addiction/alcohol, have gone through trauma, and grew up in unhealthy homes. People who at times wish they could escape life and need support to remember how to smile, or sometimes learn how to smile (for real) for the first time. If someone uses legal and/or illegal substances and wants to quit or not, I support your decision. If you want to ease your anxiety, anger, and/or sadness and want to feel happy, I believe you deserve that! :)

Indeed, life has its ups & downs and sometimes we need support when it seems our past/present experiences are limiting ourselves and our life choices. The sense of unbalance can result in many obstacles, struggles & indecisiveness. I work with individuals & would love to meet with you to allow for a space to support & develop a better sense of balance. Therapy & my multiple offerings allows clients the opportunity to discover their limiting thoughts, patterns & beliefs in order to recognize, awaken & cultivate unconditional confidence to allow for a stronger & gentler sense of self & the ability to make calm & relaxed choices.

this I believe, is the essence of life.

We discuss in the first session your hopes and what supports you in life positively.
Hello, thank you for taking time to be here. Therapy is an investment in time, personal commitment, and money. My practice has shifted since COVID to seeing less people, for 60 to 90 minutes, and not accepting insurance. Hakomi, Mindfulness, Somatic Psychology, CBT and other modalities are part of the support provided as people move through grief (death, terminal illness, divorce...); healing past trauma, re-surfacing or ready to liberate from, the lies they embed in our narratives; and reclaiming the day to day wakefulness of being. Anxiety, depression, problems at the macro level, benefit from mindfulness and action, and therapy.
