Are you feeling empty, alone, detached, anxious or misunderstood? Integrative Psychotherapy can help. As an integrative psychotherapist, therapeutic inquiry begins with the assumption that I know nothing about your life experiences or how you make sense of them. Through inquiry, attunement and involvement we will discover together where you have experienced early interruptions in significant interpersonal relationships and how it has impacted your sense of self and adult life. These interruptions and misses are often experienced as depression, anxiety, compulsions, fears or agitation and often interfere with a sense of self and the development of healthy adult relationships.

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed?
I guide individuals, couples and families through challenging transitions.
Some of these changes are anticipated, such as marriage, birth of a child or retirement. Other changes are more challenging; divorce, affair, loss of a job, sudden illness or death of a spouse.
Both personally and professionally, I view change as an opportunity for growth. I teach you tools for coping and how to continue to move forward.
I also work with children and adolescents to help them cope with strong emotions and manage change in an age appropriate context.

My areas of specialty, from years of practice, training and research are trauma, anxiety, panic, infidelity, codependence, narcissistic abuse, divorce and parenting.
Many of the ways we learned to cope in childhood helped us survive difficult experiences, but those same patterns of coping can create stress, anxiety, relationship struggles and emotional overwhelm in adulthood. I strive to provide a safe space to help clients understand these patterns, connect with yourself, and build skills for navigating life with greater clarity and confidence. Together, we can help you develop healthier, more effective ways of coping so you can experience relief, calm and fulfillment in your life.
