As a body-mind therapist, I integrate CBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques.
Are you a caring person who finds it hard to make time for yourself and struggles to relax? I specialize in helping introverts, sensitive people, perfectionists, people pleasers, and procrastinators break free from overwhelm and find inner calm and clarity. I offer therapy by phone, and I encourage you to be outdoors or take a walk during our sessions if that helps you feel more grounded. Together, we can work on strengthening coping skills, healing from the past, making confident decisions, setting healthy boundaries, and finding more ease in your daily life.

I integrate techniques from evidence-based practices including Walk and Talk Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Play and Art-Based Approaches, Group Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Practices, and Motivational Interviewing.

I utilize a relational and strengths-based approach. I work to help clients develop skills to improve their ability to cope with and manage ongoing life stressors. I am an experienced clinician, LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, who has experience working with trauma, anger, sexuality, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, effective communication, relationships, and attachment-based issues.

I incorporate the latest in neuroscience research and pull from relational psychotherapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic, interpersonal neurobiology and cognitive-behavioral therapies.
Life is difficult. Feeling better is possible. We all have the right and the ability to feel some peace and acceptance about our lives; the things we can control and the things we can not. We may often believe the negative thoughts we have (that we often make up) and act accordingly. You can change your life, your outlook and the way you think and feel about yourself and your relationships. I believe changes and growth occur when an individual is able to challenge their thoughts, examine their perspectives and learn how to be true to themselves.

Previously, I taught neuromuscular re-education, along with being an internationally known author and expert in Applied Mindfulness.
If you are looking for a therapist who is accessible, present, fearless, and authentic, then we might just be a match. I love clients who are therapy veterans and know what they want (or what they don't). I also love to help clients who are new to therapy, and feel a little nervous, to feel secure and supported. Whether you have a trauma history that you need someone grounded to help you address, or just are feeling overwhelmed, if you are wanting to collaborate on making your world better, I am here for it. I bring a lifetime of experiences (and a fondness for metaphors) to the therapy room for us to draw on. I am Gottman trained.

I specialize in life transitions, anxiety, communication skills, co-occurring disorders, depression, resilience, grief and loss, mindfulness, and communication.
We’ve all struggled at times, in ways both big and small. If you are interested in changing your relationship with yourself and others, I can help. People come to me to better their communication skills, unlearn patters that negatively impact their significant relationships (including with self), and make room for joy and meaning. Some clients come looking for tools to manage anxiety; others seek tips and insight for navigating through grief and loss; still others wish to improve their intimacy and communication with their partners. I work with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of life's experiences.

I typically integrate several treatment modalities including: psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and an integrated health approach including, but not limited to, mindfulness based therapies.
Whether you are entering therapy with a clear vision of what you are looking for or are more uncertain of your goals, I will work with you to come up with strategies for growth and the development of optimal emotional health and functioning. I believe that healing occurs through the process of building a trusting therapeutic relationship. By creating a safe and confidential environment I will help you to better understand patterns (which are often outside of your awareness) that lead to emotional distress. Recognition of these patterns empowers you to make choices that can lead to life long change.

Additionally, I enjoy incorporating mindfulness practices in session, along with laughter and playfulness because it is my belief that a component of therapy is the practice of letting ourselves hold on to the little moments that bring us joy.
My practice is centered around supporting individuals and couples at those tricky life stage transitions. Together, we work towards developing a new rhythm of being, while integrating both their past and present identities as a person, partner, and parent. My approach to therapy is collaborative - where healing occurs within relational contexts. As I walk along side you, I attempt to remain rooted within a trauma informed, systems and attachment-based perspective.

I believe when working with people you must look at all aspects of their being; the mental, biological, emotional, spiritual, and cultural to address issues being experienced. Our work as therapists is to work as guides, along with the client, to explore deeper issues that are manifesting in their lives. I seek to find an integrative approach with each client that best fits their needs. Providing a safe and empathetic environment, informed by mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory, and other therapeutic theories and methods, I work to empower and develop skills that provide positive change in client’s lives.

My clinical interests include depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, self-esteem, unwanted substance and behavioral patterns, lifespan growth, among others. I value empowerment highly in the therapeutic process and work well with motivated clients.

I utilize several clinical modalities including EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy, somatic work, solution-focused therapy, design thinking and mindfulness techniques.
Therapy, like life, happens in the context of relationships. Our first task will be to form our own. During this time I’ll hear from you about what’s going well in your life as well as what is feeling difficult or overwhelming. Our work can take several forms, but in all of them I value connection, humor, and authenticity.

I often utilize Transpersonal Psychology theory, Psychosynthesis, Internal Family Systems/Systems theory, and Mindfulness in session.
Welcome! Being human is a beautiful and vulnerable experience that doesn't always have directions or clear answers. You may be here because you feel struck in patterns that are holding you back or feel overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed in your daily life. You may be seeking help because you feel stuck in your relationship(s) or want to feel more free in your sexuality or sexual identity and are unsure how to proceed. And if you are a highly sensitive and/or nuero-diverse person, the world can feel complicated! If you are longing to live authentically and experience meaningful relationships, you've come to the right place!

Nosce te Ipsum” — “Know Thy Self” (Latin) Specializing in solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness-based strategies, I offer a comfortable environment where my clients develop the tools required to increase their understanding of how beliefs, perceptions, and behaviors shape identity. Therapy, above all else, is an investment in self-knowledge. Who better to understand than the person you are with 24/7? The more you comprehend, the more confident you feel, and the better equipped you are to navigate life’s uncertainties.
