Do you experience symptoms of emotional, relational, or physical pain, confusion, and loss? Anxiety, fear, hopelessness, and bodily discomfort can linger long after traumatic and destabilizing events. You can learn to navigate these symptoms, regulate them, and walk through the process of fear and immobility back to integrative functioning. My priority is to help you recognize, accept, heal, and integrate the difficulties you are experiencing and become aware of your inner strengths and guiding values through the process. You can find the strength and courage to engage again with life and the passion to not only survive but thrive.

Are you having trouble coping? Crisis can be an opportunity for positive change. I can assist you with coping strategies, communication tools, and support if you are feeling stuck. I utilize a strength-based, holistic approach that is respectful and collaborative. Over 20 years experience utilizing evidence-based interventions for depression, relationship issues, anxiety, and trauma (EMDR, CPT, Internal Family Systems).

I offer practical, useful steps toward balance and integration of the parts of the self in need of healing.

Coming to therapy is an act of self-love. Being curious about what makes us feel and act the way we do is the most rewarding endeavor, bringing authenticity, creativity and choices into our lives. Our self-concept and beliefs about the world were formed in infancy and learned in our primary relationships. Unconsciously, these early experiences guide many of our actions in present time. I am passionate about exploring with you old patterns that do not serve you anymore. I support you in cultivating conscious and self-caring responses to the inevitable challenging and painful events of life.

Feeling fatigued or burnt out by the demands of your clinical practice? Good clinical supervision can help you create an expansive clinical practice, one that challenges you to grow while honoring the skills you enjoy using in your work. I'm a psychodynamically-trained social worker who specializes in clinical supervision and consultation, in both group and individual formats. I approach my work with compassion and a large dose of humor, engaging deeply with other clinicians to explore the possibilities of a richer work life, more aligned with their core values.

Change and impermanence are the great constants in our lives. If you are in a time of transition, and are experiencing symptoms such as depression, anxiety, health issues, or relationship concerns, I would like to meet with you. I hold a Ph.D.in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in depth psychology. I bring a psychodynamic and relational perspective to consultations with adults of all ages.

I help couples regain love, find shared meaning and improve ability to listen and be heard. Additionally, the transition to parenthood, while longed for, can place huge strains on relationships. Being a parent brings up unresolved feelings of all kinds from one's own childhood that may interfere with being the parent you want to be. I help parents and children feel good about their families. My goal is to help parents find greater competence and confidence to recognize and respond to their children's fundamental needs.

The core commitment of my work is to support my clients as they explore and challenge themselves in pursuit of greater truth. My approach is informed by a variety of theoretical frameworks. In every session, I collaborate with you to understand your experiences and work toward change and healing that feels meaningful to you. I cultivate a safe, authentic, and non-judgmental space for you to center and balance as you experience life’s waves. To foster this, I use presence, active listening, and mindfulness as a foundation for trauma-informed care, inner relationship focusing, and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR).

Have you ever wondered why it seems you always get the same results in relationship? Since there are many forms of relating, it's likely you find common threads in most of those. We live in a culture that promotes codependency and fails to support us on a path of personal empowerment. This colors not only our perception of others, but also of ourselves. Feelings of sadness, grief and anger arise, and are difficult to calm. With focus on intention, coaching toward better boundaries, and clearer communication, it's possible to find more joy and harmony in life.

I love working with older teens and adults from diverse backgrounds experiencing life transitions, relational difficulties and mood disorders. I have a particular interest in supporting those individuals struggling with depression, grief and loss, aging, divorce, micro-traumas, and family conflict.

In my practice I focus on helping clients achieve their goals in a safe, supportive environment. Working to increase their quality of life whether they suffer from symptoms of anxiety, depression or anger. Once able to let go of past unhealthy patterns clients can be free to live up to their highest potential. I have much experience working with clients of diverse backgrounds and enjoy the opportunity to do so.
