I will help you understand the reasons beneath your fears, discover your innate strengths, self compassion & develop the empowerment that helps you lead a life filled with joy, energy & love.

Hello and welcome. You may be an individual or a couple seeking to understand how past attachments, fulfillments, and traumas inform your present with the hope of repairing and improving your relationship to Self and others. Or, you may feel lost and want to explore how to live life with intention, meaning, and authenticity. I help clients explore their attachment styles, grief, losses, and traumas with curiosity, mindfulness, and loving-kindness. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients, witnessing them blossom within this confidential, safe space of existential reflection, forgiveness, acceptance, and rebirth.

My approach in working with you is strengths-based and based on the laws of attraction, our power to live more intentionally and more connected with the universe to create a life that we both desire and deserve. As humans, we all share the basic desires of love, wanting to be loved and self-fulfillment. Maybe you've been feeling burned out and at the end of your rope? You may have a strong desire to realize your potential and purpose, but don't know where to start. Well, you've definitely come to the right place.

I specialize in helping people deepen insight, awareness, and understanding of themselves and their issues so that healing and growth can occur. I have over ten years of experience helping people on this inward journey and have developed a range of strategies to help people go further, heal faster, and grow more.

Did you know ages 45-55 are just as developmentally rich as adolescence? What if we saw aging as a spiritual path, and our body's symptoms of perimenopause and menopause as guides? A mid-life crisis is often characterized by an anxious sense of "is this all there is?" compounded by stressors related to caregiving, death, divorce, job loss and relationship dissatisfaction. This can create existential questions related to one's identity, purpose and meaning in life. Yet this mid-life chrysalis, is an opportunity to slow down, reflect and become more fully conscious of ourselves as women in the afternoon of our lives.

Wholeness leads to healing. I guide my clients to accept all parts of themselves and find balance in their lives. I entered the field of counseling with a passion for treating trauma (big T and little t trauma). Along the way I gathered some exceptional tools for doing so, including EMDR and a somatic approach to psychotherapy. Not so far removed from trauma, I have also developed a specialty in treating addiction of all kinds. I have seen the power of emotional healing to transform people's lives in ways they always wanted but didn't know how. I am here to help whenever the client is ready to do that brave and powerful work.

You do not have to be sick to get better. I believe in paying attention to experience not what is bad or wrong. We can all learn skills to improve. My past experience as a world ranked professional tennis player gives me insight to work with high school, collegiate and professional athletes or anyone in this age. I work from a depth model, which encourages self-exploration to improve skills. The exploration helps one become conscious of long standing coping mechanisms that may no longer be as valuable as they once were. Learning what you do that blocks happiness empowers you to make choices that lead to a satisfying life.

As an evidence-based relaxation and meditaiton trainer, I am uniquely qualified to help you learn to cope with grief, anxiety, past trauma, and women's issues. My approach is eclectic, using interventions from a broad base of solidly-grounded, accepted theoretical orientations. I see clcients for anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and women's issues. I will collaborate with you to assist you in recognizing your individual strengths and strive to empower you with the self-awareness and self-confidence to pursue your dreams.

Causing and Creating Inspired Transformation~Are you feeling like you are in a transition at this point in your life and need someone to help see you through it? Maybe there's a block in an area of your life that could be helped with new perspective? Possibly you want to learn about visualization, intentional creativity, or creating sacred space? I Love working with people who are in transitional space and are ready for growth and change. Today you are one step closer to feeling empowered, passionate about life, and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

With over 25 years in the mental health field and 13 years in private practice, I offer a multitude of personal and professional experience. Much of our suffering is due to dissatisfaction in relationships. Sadly, many relationships end prematurely when we are most hurt and emotionally vulnerable. However, this is the time when the very intimacy we were lacking prior has the potential to finally break through. I give you tools and insight to heal old wounds that are holding you back from experiencing the love you seek within yourself and others. Together we address the intrapsychic conflicts and longings of the soul.

I specialize in helping individuals with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, dating, parenting, separation and divorce, and individuation/spiritual growth. I work with clients to facilitate meaningful change.

My ideal client wants to change and evolve, and is willing to work at it through sessions and homework! I'm non-judgmental and a creative collaborator with my clients. I've done my job if clients feel heard, renewed, and empowered. I have a ton of experience and credentials: I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Brainspotting, and Brain-based Hypnotherapy. I work in trauma recovery, relationship issues, addiction, mood disorders, Jungian counseling, and spiritual counseling. I'm extremely adventurous, youthful, and have experienced life in many places and realms.

Do you feel stuck or lost much of the time, but also have an innate ability to recognize that you want and deserve more out of life, out of your relationships, perhaps more out of yourself? Do you want to participate in a deep dive of possible unconscious material that may be holding you back? Being able to open up about these vulnerabilities is challenging and involves deep exploration into the psyche. My intention is to create a safe, accepting container so you are able to explore all parts of yourself, welcome them and integrate them into your life.

I integrate all my training in helping clients heal and transform their lives in the direction which honors living one's full potential/purpose. I work with individuals and offer women's expressive arts groups. The areas I have worked with include: mild - moderate anxiety, mild - moderate depression, stress reduction, communication skills, codependency, low self- esteem, relational issues, grief, social skill building, marital/divorce/relationship issues, women's issues, racial/ethnic/cultural concerns, meaning of life, life transitions, life purpose, identity questions, BIPOC issues, spiritual issues, and eco-related issues.

Do you find yourself wondering why you're where you are in life...what brought you to this point? What is the meaning of this crisis in my life? Is there a purpose for my life? My approach to therapy is founded in Carl Jung's Depth Psychology and is useful for all life's problems that come our way - depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, grief, relationships, career and aging as well as for reflection and personal growth. Together we can find the answers to these questions. My approach is holistic, warm, client centered and non judgmental.

I offer counseling for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and women's issues. Because I understand that life goes on despite our thoughts and feelings, I feel it's important to be a guide and a soundboard to help you address your issues head-on while maintaining and sustaining new and better habits of self-care, mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance.

My "ideal client" knows to provide loved ones the very best, he or she must also be at an individual best. Short-changing the "self" depletes the ability to offer abundance to others. Whereas prospering in heart, health, mind, and body lead to connections of premium value. My clients look beyond the ordinary, knowing possibilities are endless and will be found with concerted effort and bravery. Keeping life fresh, free and filled with potential, elevates us all. When my clients depart they have renewed joy and gratitude because they are awakened to the gifts that were once just beyond their reach but now part their life scripts.
