Welcome! I aim to create a supportive space to partner with clients in their healing process. I have over a decade of experience working with adult and youth trauma survivors and their loved ones. I partner with folks seeking support with trauma recovery, anxiety, parenting, reproductive health (pregnancy, abortion, loss, etc), adoption/fostercare, grief, burnout, compassion fatigue, and/or identity exploration. I am a White, straight, cisgender mother who is dedicated to personal and collective liberation from White supremacy, capitalism, and patriarchy.

Finding yourself stuck having the same fights over and over again, not feeling heard or understood? Are you confused and tired of wondering how you even got there to begin with? Are you wondering if your relationship could ever get back to a good place? Perhaps a lot of life happened over the past couple of years, and now you feel in a place to best address it?

Are you struggling with adjusting to change? Are past traumas keeping you stuck? There are so many changes universally right now and they can be overwhelming. Even adapting to what we are referring to as "normalcy" is different and new. Or, do you have some issues with feeling confident in one or more areas of your life? I get it. Sometimes clients come to me for guidance with their relationships, yet their work situation is mostly satisfying. And still others would like to feel more comfortable in their family role, professional role, or even in their roles in general. Some want to feel at home in their bodies and don't know how.

If you are at a place where you are experiencing some difficulties in life, you do not have to stay in that place.

I see my job as supporting people in stepping into lives of consciousness, authenticity, meaning, and joy - whatever that looks like for each particular person. My focus is primarily with people who are dealing with grief, addiction / recovery, and/or aging, although many of my clients are outside these particular categories but yet are longing for a deeper life. To get there, healing has to happen first. Trauma needs to be addressed. Beliefs, communication styles, and relationship patterns that are limiting need to be considered and reformulated. Stressors and anxiety needs to be managed. This is the path we travel together.

Tired of having to explain or defend yourself, or your existence, to those who just don’t get it? I see you. Feeling crushed by the weight of everything going on right now — post election emotions and related bullshit, family stress, relationship challenges? Are you tired of feeling alone, scared, or unsupported as you try to navigate through it all? Or maybe you are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and seeking a real therapist who just gets it - no explaining necessary. Or perhaps you and your partner are stuck in a pattern that leaves you feeling disconnected and frustrated with each other, and exhausted with the universe.

It’s difficult, even scary, to ask for what you need. Many of us don’t even know how to identify our needs. Maybe you’ve never been allowed to express them or been made to feel like you’re not valuable enough to have them. It’s not your fault. But it can lead to problems. Those needs get expressed somehow, often is ways we regret or don’t understand, ways that cause harm – such as feeling perpetually exhausted or overwhelmed, avoiding emotions, arguing, or disengaging from relationships, even yourself.

I believe my role as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can talk over your difficulties, and I in turn provide perspective, insight, and creative problem-solving strategies. With over 25 years of experience, I have many therapeutic approaches available. Past clients have told me that they appreciate my ability to listen reflectively but still provide active feedback and ideas that allow them to see a new angle on their problems and begin to change. I can be most helpful with relationship issues and with anxiety and depression. I have particular specialties in helping women with mid-life transition issues.

I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, especially in times of transition and uncertainty. My approach is relational, depth oriented and mind-body-Spirit focused. I draw from psychoanalytic theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and somatic therapies. In sessions we work with emotions, thoughts, body sensations, dreams and free associations to explore both conscious and unconscious material. I pay special attention to what is happening in the present moment of the sessions, while honoring the impact of important relationships, life circumstances and ancestral history.
