Sometimes life feels harder than it should. You may be doing your best, yet still feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. I work with individuals and couples, including those preparing for marriage, to slow down, listen to what your body and emotions are saying, and rediscover balance, connection and self-trust.

I am a Psychotherapist who is dedicated to working with adolescents, adults and families. My approach is warm, down to earth and grounded in curiosity.

Life is moving fast these days, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed juggling relationships, work or school, family, and the constant noise of the world.

I've been in the private practice of depth psychotherapy for 30 years. As a therapist I hold the quality, comfort, and confidentiality of the relationship as foundational. It would be an honor to help you move into greater life satisfaction and joy.

What is it that brings you vitality? What gets you stuck? The key to well being is our relationship with self, and with what is actually happening, not what we think should happen. As we learn to mindfully attune to ourselves and trust what is arising, and we learn to value and process emotions and experiences - whatever they are - we start to relate to our self and to life differently. Setting limits, making bold choices, experiencing passion and clarity become possible and natural. And so we find: our suffering, our symptoms turn out not to be a problem to be fixed, but a gateway to our freedom.

Transpersonal Therapists
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilize the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
