You don't have to go it alone. Are you an older adult or the caregiver for a parent or spouse? Struggling to keep your balance while dealing with chronic illness or pain?

With help, you can better understand your feelings and better meet your challenge. If you are stressed and feeling burnt out, depressed, or weighed down by anxiety, reach out for help. In therapy, you can get the support that you need to build on your strengths and thrive. Serving adults of all ages and the LGBTQ+ community

I take great joy in my commitment to support individuals and groups towards healing and transformational change. I have provided therapy in home environments as well as private and college settings. Whether you are facing mid-life cycle transitions, stuck in fear patterns, struggling with menopause or dealing with intergenerational trauma, I can help you lean into these places more deeply with trusted support.

I am a licensed psychologist in private practice. I have an integrative approach, incorporating psychodynamic, narrative, and cognitive modalities. I believe that my primary duty as a therapist is to be present and curious. I take into account past experiences, social/cultural, genetic, and neurological/biological influences on my client's current functioning. I am a also long-time practitioner of meditation and mindfulness, which continuously informs my work.

My mission is to help my clients better understand who they are, what they want from this life, and how to move towards a more integrated self. My alternative style of therapy blends traditional talk therapy with non-traditional therapeutic methods such as nature therapy, mindfulness-based practices, music, art, movement, and nature-based groups. I have found both personally and professionally that nature, creative expression, and physical activity set the stage for healing and growth, and I enjoy incorporating these elements into my therapeutic approach.

As an experienced clinician I have developed deep respect and broad appreciation for the complexities of life and relationships, context and environment, mind, body and spirit. The primary focus of my work has been treating the social/behavioral and mental health consequences arising from persistent unresolved issues, trauma and life transitions for individuals, couples and families. I will carefully consider your needs and concerns within your unique personal context and collaborate with you on a pragmatic and sustainable plan for resolution and an improved sense of well-being.

I am driven by this work’s constant proof that when a person understands themselves better, they begin to live a better life. I am rooted in mindfulness, western psychotherapy, embodiment, and spiritual constellations as my foundation for support and I am comfortable with using a myriad of techniques and lineages to help a person navigate their inner world to change their outer reality.

Imagine sharing your most private thoughts and feelings, safely, and without risk, so that you get to know yourself more deeply. Neuroscience teaches us how emotions affect our behavior, how they are stored in the body, and how negative emotions can be healed. In my work, I utilize techniques that focus on the relationship and the feedback mechanisms between the mind and the body in order to promote deeper and more complete healing. I also help couples and families recognize patterns of behavior that contribute to misunderstanding, tension and conflict. My intention is to create a safe space that is non-judgmental, welcoming and warm.

We all seek a sense of meaning and gratification in our personal and work lives, to be seen and appreciated as we are, and to feel well, alive and whole. I have over 25 years of experience working with adults and teens seeking relief from fear, anxiety, stress, anger, sadness, trauma and isolation & wanting more joy and a sense of wellbeing in their lives. I also have expertise working with people experiencing burnout, and work-related stress. I welcome working with individuals from all backgrounds, races, cultures, and gender identities, and I love working with people from the LGBTQ+ community, activists, artists and change makers.

Good therapy helps us shift from feeling blocked by internal conflicts and fears to having a transformative relationship with ourselves and others. Mindfulness and IFS are two highly effective approaches to help access beneficial qualities of mind, even in difficult circumstances. I have successfully helped clients with a wide range of issues for 15 years, and have taught and supervised students in these techniques.

*I am not able to accept new clients at this time.* By listening deeply, providing insight, coaching and support we collaborate to move past self-defeating patterns that interfere with your living well. As a seasoned psychotherapist and life coach with 30 years experience I believe in each person's singular life path and inherent capacity to heal and grow. Drawing on mindfulness and body-based wisdom we focus your strengths to transform fear into hope, confusion into direction. I work well with people who are stuck emotionally in themselves or in their relationships; people who have experienced trauma; people desiring change.

I offer individual, relationship and family therapy. My areas of interest include: nonbinary and trans identities, alternative family structures, issues concerning sexuality or sexual practices, queer family planning, fertility issues, trauma, grief and loss. I was clinically trained at Smith and have recently worked at a nonprofit primarily with adults with extreme mind states and major life disruptions. Additionally, I am the co-director of Translate Gender Inc, we offer trainings and education around gender identity and expression as well as run psychotherapy groups for trans and nonbinary individuals, relationships and families.

What if your biggest struggles - anxiety, self-criticism, depression, to name a few - are actually doorways to freedom and lasting happiness? The inner turmoil you want to escape may be the very portals to profound self-discovery and expanded awareness. My approach blends modern psychology, powerful mindfulness practices, and a perfect dose of psycho-education sprinkled in for good measure. We start by exploring the root causes of your pain. Your life challenges reveal the unconscious beliefs, unresolved emotions, and past hurts driving your distress. As we release these underlying causes, you'll regain peace of mind and happiness.

I am a creative, compassionate and competent therapist. Trained as a social worker I work to see people in their full integrity and in their full humanity. I see therapy as a time to be heard, seen and understood. I'm dedicated to a practice of social justice and welcome all people.

Looking for a therapist can be challenging. For those looking for the first time, I'd like to offer some thoughts on finding one who's right for you. While credentials and experience have their place, at the end of the day the most important thing is fit. I encourage you to "go with your gut." Do a phone consult. Did they give you space to talk? Did you feel heard? Sometimes what we need is feeling supported by someone who "gets" us. Other times we grow from someone who is able to challenge us in just the right way.

The world can be an unsafe place at times, posing many challenges for all of us. Looking for help to navigate life stressors can be difficult when you might already be experiencing grief, isolation, and anxiety. It can be easy to feel lost, disconnected, and even helpless. I provide a warm-hearted safe space and am confident in treating many psychological concerns. My goal in therapy is to help you find solutions to your problems and illuminate resources already available to you. I am especially helpful in areas of life transition, trauma, and grief and loss. You don’t have to do this alone.

Are you seeking support for increased self-insight and a more purposeful focus on wellbeing in your own mind and heart and relationships? I have trained in several therapeutic modalities throughout my professional life, including person-centered, gestalt, CBT, psychodynamic, narrative, collaborative and organizational and family systems approaches. In the therapy space, my clients explore clarifying their own beliefs, managing their emotional reactions in relationships, using their voices more effectively in their various roles, and balancing role demands of family, work, and social contexts which we often juggle simultaneously.

Thank you for your interest - my practice is currently full. You are not alone if your child is struggling or your family is experiencing anxiety, stress and conflict. Many parents in today’s uncertain times feel overwhelmed, exhausted and unsure of how to help their child thrive. When our kids are having a tough time, our most important work is often on ourselves. Seeking support means you are prioritizing your family’s health and mental well-being. Together, we’ll explore how to achieve greater emotional balance, strengthen connections and increase joy, all of which will improve the emotional climate within your home.

Do you find yourself focusing too much on other people's wants and needs while ignoring your own? Over time, living this way can leave you feeling used up, deeply stuck and way off track. So if you're someone others often rely on for support, it might be time to find your own person to talk with. And it's perfectly okay if you have a sense that things need to change, but aren't sure where to start. I have experience and a special interest in helping people like you alleviate their anxiety, relationship problems and burnout.
