The clients I tend to gravitate towards are those who are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, struggle with eating disorders/disordered eating, are unpacking unhelpful and often harmful messages that they've internalized, relearning their true selves, and finding a way to safely be embodied in their body and their place in this world.

I encourage my clients to identify and express their feelings and to more fully understand their personal frames of reference. I often use a practical approach, focusing on the development of short and long-term goals, looking at what has and hasn't worked in the past and examining the potential consequences of various courses of action and points of view. I also guide consideration of how the past continues to affect the present. I use a wide range of therapeutic activities to facilitate the therapeutic relationship and process. My goal is to help you reach yours. I hope you'll give me that opportunity.

I am not able to accept new clients at this time. I have over 35 years of experience as a mental health clinician. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy - which means that I believe that who we are as adults is shaped by the past relationships we had in our families. The difficulties we have in our work, relationships and within ourselves, can be managed better and overcome, when we have greater understanding of how these earlier experiences have shaped us. Change happens as this understanding opens up new possibilities for what we want for ourselves, and how we experience ourselves and others.

In order for all of us to grow and heal, it is imperative to spend time investigating the deeper elements of our personalities. With that said, an ideal client would be someone interested in putting effort into exploring their innermost thoughts and feelings. I work to offer a multi-faceted approach to treatment that will help my clients work through issues related to the many aspects of self-identity, interpersonal relations, trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression. I consider it a sign of strength to begin searching for a therapist, and a sign of courage to take the leap into deep explorations of Self.

The body, mind and spirit have natural proclivity for self-healing, but sometimes we get stuck. I believe my role is to simply aid in this natural process while helping to identify and devise a plan to overcome barriers to our innate drive toward wellness. I’ve been in the human services field for fifteen years I have worked with diverse populations including children in a psychiatric facility, adults experiencing homelessness, veterans with PTSD and adults dealing with challenges from common life stressors to serious mental illness in private practice.

My approach to therapy starts with learning about how the individual has come to experience the world, knowing that this is shaped by traumatic events, societal expectations, attachments to primary caregivers, systemic racism, wiring passed down by ancestors, conditioned responses of the nervous system, so forth and so on. In doing so, we might also uncover blind spots that contribute to the ways we show up in our lives that no longer serve us. My style is direct and open, using a here-and-now perspective rooted in mindfulness-based and existential-humanistic theories.

I really enjoy working with adults and helping to identify the barriers between where they are and where they want to be. I especially like supporting with women's issues and ageing/stage of life processing. I am very much a generalist and enjoy working with a diverse set of individuals whose goal is to create change in themselves. I appreciate working with individuals who have an idea of where they want to go, and we can discover how to get there together!
