Something's got to change. Together, we can make a plan of action to transform your life and attain your goals.

We will address the pain, anger and maladaptive behaviors within families as well as the frustration and poor communication between partners.

Therapy is a process of discovery and change, which, although often challenging, I believe is always an endeavor worth taking. As I greatly respect one's decision to make this commitment to themselves, I take an active approach in the therapy process and work collaboratively with my clients towards healing and insight. I primarily make use of psychodynamic techniques with a general focus on helping to increase self-awareness, a sense of wellbeing, and a sense of empowerment to achieve desired change. However, it is important to note that treatment goals established by my clients and me are individualized to meet each client's needs.

I look forward to hearing about what's happening in your life now.

Everyone needs and deserves support to navigate life's challenges. The holistic therapies I share and have been mastering for the last thirty years address the mind, emotions, body and soul. They are particularly helpful for people with backgrounds that include trauma , addiction or abuse, present day emotional, physical or relationship challenges. Through this process of support we bring compassion to our selves and the situations we are facing, enhancing awareness and inviting choices that serve us better and help us feel more comfortable. As we feel safer we can readily heal deeper traumas and truly blossom in our lives.

My clinical focus is developmental trauma , PTSD , anxiety, depression, mood and addictive disorders.

Having significant personal experience in my own life transformation, I will strive to help you uncover and strengthen your own inner resources to support you in facing your unique life challenges.
