I am a Solution Focused Therapist working with individuals and couples. I have been in practice for 28 years. In my Solution Focused approach, a person looks at the issues/areas of life that need to be changed, and what habits, behaviors, actions and choices keep perpetuating these issues in your life or relationships. We look at when these issues are resolved, what will be different? What will you notice now that these issues are no longer on the emotional property of your life? What will others notice? What has stopped you in the past?

We all find ourselves at times feeling overwhelmed by life's dips and curves. It is nice to have someone to be with you on your journey. I provide a non judgmental and safe presence to support you during these times. I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 30 years and have gained respect and admiration for those people who wish to explore and understand themselves more. I specialize in attachment, loss, trauma, and identity issues. I provide a warm and compassionate environment to explore oneself and be heard.

I believe in the brilliance, authentic gifts and simple presence of every person. We are all whole and enough as we are. We use awareness in relationship of the body, mind, emotions, and, if it is right for you, spirit, with mindfulness, and curiosity, with other effective modalities, to find balance, increased resilience, support, hope and empowerment. What's held inside is given voice and expression in order to have more choices and a fuller experience of life. I believe in the value of small steps with support, and I hold a deep trusting container for understanding, compassion and transformation.

Many of us seek outside help when there has been disappointment finding a lasting relationship; and once in a relationship, some of us seek a way out! I am ready to assist you in the process of understanding yourself within relationships including those with your family of origin. Sometimes it takes a crisis of some kind or other to help us to put our concerns and need for self understanding front and center. Life transitions and the loss of loved ones benefit from the focus that therapy, whether brief or longer term, can provide. I practice yoga, always a beginner! and study Tibetan Buddhism; these also influence my work.

For each of us, life is not without change, loss, transition, even trauma, and the emotional difficulties that result. And we heal and transform by way of supportive connection, internally, environmentally, and relationally. I am inspired by the subtle ways in which providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space allows for a client’s inner wisdom, insights, and empowerment to emerge and for life’s transitions to be eased. I work to provide a sanctuary to process, be witnessed in, and build helpful skills for dealing with loss & grief, transition, emotional distress such as anxiety and depression, and trauma.

Do you want to live more joyfully and to have better relationships? Are you living with depression, anxiety or unhealthy habits that interfere with your motivation and ability to act decisively, respond creatively, and connect more authentically with others? If so, you are not alone. Changes in our work, health, and relationships often create a personal crisis, which invites us to examine and confront aspects of ourselves that no longer serve us in order to learn, grow, and move forward with our lives in a new way. This can be challenging work and it is often helpful to have an ally.
