You have an intuitive, spiritual, or metaphysical perspective. You're pursuing an inspired life, yet there's too much tension inside. Anxiety, heaviness, or history of trauma can weigh on your heart, and make it feel impossible to manifest your dreams. Perhaps your empathy/sensitivity is creating challenges. But with an experienced counselor drawing from a variety of approaches, you can grow in clarity and empowerment. You'll experience calm confidence that you're not missing out. With time, you'll be surprised at the peace and joy you develop about your path.

Accepting New Clients - I am a strengths-based clinician who enjoys learning about my clients and their unique lived experience. I work with people in transition, who are still discovering themselves even later in life, and who are looking to identify what holds them back. I build a constructive dialogue with my clients, helping them gain insightful into their troubles, even when they struggle to see where their stressors lie. Even if you do not have the tools yet, but you are willing to take that first step and make a change, I will meet you every step of the way.

I help women overcome anxiety, trauma , and body image issues. Many of my clients are highly sensitive, resilient folks who struggle with binge eating, food restriction, over-exercise, and low self-esteem. Many are tired and wired: exhausted by anxiety but can't turn off their thoughts and perfectionism. Our work together will help you challenge old, negative beliefs, tune into your intuition, and align with your values. I use a combo of problem-solving and slow, trauma -sensitive strategies to help you feel less worry and more freedom in your relationships, choices, body and food.

I will help you understand and overcome barriers and challenges as we foster opportunities for options and possibilities. I look forward to working with you through an interactive and dynamic partnership driven by your needs and dreams, motivation, commitment, strengths, and goals. I provide a supportive, caring, non-judgmental, responsive approach to a therapeutic relationship based on trust and collaboration. I have over 25 years experience empowering people in the development, utilization, and enhancement of coping skills long after completion of therapeutic services. Therapy is tailored to each client or family's unique needs, goals, and strengths. Saturday and evening availability.
