Our work together will draw from mindfulness and somatic interventions including internal family systems (IFS) and sensorimotor psychotherapy (SP).
My goal is to create a uniquely secure space for you to identify your blocks, understand your relationship to them, & find the tools you need to break through. Each of us has an innate potential for change & growth. I will jump into the work with you & be by your side throughout your discovery. My intention is to bring compassion & truth-telling to the process. After nearly two decades as a mindfulness educator, I believe our connection to our mind & body brings us closer to our motivation & inherent resilience. In our work together we’ll explore this connection to guide you toward the truest & most powerful version of yourself.

Having grown up in a family of therapists and worked through many of my own similar issues, I know personally and professionally the vast rewards of good therapy.
I work eclectically on relieving symptoms of depression and anxiety while assisting my clients in clearly understanding their own way of thinking, feeling, and behaving. At times I will use a more cognitive approach and other times a more psychodynamic approach. The orientation depends upon the client's specific needs.

Individual, group, couple and family psychotherapy with adults covering the entire range of human issues, including anxiety, depression, shame, relationship and sexual problems, trauma, addictions, etc.
I believe that each of us is endowed with a fundamental striving to grow. However, in life's journey we encounter both joy and sorrow. What is important is how we negotiate these experiences. If you are feeling undermined from negative attitudes or facing difficult challenges, help is available through a safe, in-depth psychoanalytic psychotherapy experience. We will explore the relational origins of harmful self-feelings and painful experiences to seek new pathways to enhance your sense of wellbeing. In psychotherapy, we will embark on an in-depth reflective adventure together to facilitate your growth to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

As a professional therapist, I helped individuals and couples through life transitions, grief and loss, self-discovery, depression, anxiety, trauma, finding motivation, and coping with challenging family dynamics.
I incorporate an eclectic skillset, incorporating insight-oriented psychodynamic psychotherapy with cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy.

I also have expertise in couples therapy, eating disorders, as well as the developmental challenges of young adulthood, such as separation from family and identity concerns.
Creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship is the first step toward understanding what's standing in the way of greater life satisfaction and emotional well-being. I am interactive and direct in challenging old patterns of viewing oneself, others, and the world so as to make room for more hopeful possibilities. I believe in exploring the impact of the past on the present, yet because insight alone is often not sufficient for bringing about change, I help clients develop the concrete tools necessary to play more productive roles in their own lives.

We have so many ideas about it stemming from media, friends, family, religion and our own sexual history, which can be very confusing and isolating.
Sex therapy helps heal the wounds of sexualization - the negative feelings & experiences associated with sex. It addresses sexual dysfunction, "coming out," fantasy, gender identity, negotiating relationships, sexual identity & sexual orientation in a safe and validating environment.

I help my clients develop an appreciation for their own stories and to make sense of uncomfortable feelings that prevent them from pursuing goals, that cause problems in relationships or hold them back from creating more satisfying and fulfilling social, family and work lives.
I help my clients work toward alleviating the symptoms and problems they bring to therapy while also helping them take a more intimate look at what is contributing to their struggles so that long term change becomes possible.

My training includes Family Systems, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Object Relations, Emotional-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Clinical Hypnosis.
Psychotherapy for all things love, losses, and relationships. Therapy is a deeply meaningful opportunity we can allow ourselves to pursue. Our overall state of being is greatly impacted by our relationships both past and present. Our formative years play a significant role in shaping our current selves and can have an influence on how we interact with others and behave. In addition, our subconscious mind has the ability to harbor memories that may resurface as destructive thoughts and actions. Problems like depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and relationship difficulties often stem from disturbances in our connections.

I have extensively trained in a variety of therapies so that I can offer integrative and highly individualized treatment that meets the unique needs of each person, couple, or family that I work with.
I am an experienced psychologist who works with adults, parents, and couples from diverse cultural backgrounds and identities. I work with those seeking general insight and self-discovery to those experiencing chronic or debilitating issues such as trauma-related problems, depression, anxiety, or chronic pain. I believe that successful therapy relies on a balance of feeling safe and challenged, and is best done in the context of a supportive and empathic therapy relationship.

I utilize a holistic and integrative approach that traverses contemporary psychodynamic therapy, attachment therapy, Somatic Experiencing, harm reduction, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and internal family systems work.

Past hurts, traumas in childhood or adolescence, negative family messages about sexuality, body image issues, present-day stresses, betrayals of trust, and experiences of loss, may all contribute to this hesitancy.
My clinical training is rooted in psychodynamic abuse-focused therapy. I have a strong foundation in working with trauma, the body and PTSD. In addition, I am a practitioner of Sandtray-Worldplay therapy (Vision Quest Into Symbolic Reality) - an expressive arts modality that may lead to surprising "aha" moments & shifts for both individuals and couples.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
