If you are dealing with Couples Issues or Trauma Issues it is invaluable to have someone to assist you, to listen to you, to remind you of who you really are and most importantly that You Ae Not Alone. It takes courage to contact and see a therapist to assist you in uncovering the real problem(s), to increase knowledge about yourself, to face and apply a new understanding. Together, we can break ineffective patterns in Relationships and Recover. You are here because you would like to develop effective patterns: I believe recovery is a process of rediscovering what is always there-You. Love Is Love. All Are Welcome Here.

Currently offering a combination of teletherapy and in person sessions; please visit my website for more details. Is life overwhelming? Experiencing trauma? Are you, or your child, experiencing depression or anxiety, ADHD, have a teen going off to college, going through a divorce or any other life transition? Don't go it alone. Together, we will decide what is the best course of treatment for YOU. I believe in treating each person as the unique individual that they are. I am not a "one size fits all" therapist. We work collaboratively, and make YOU the specialist and director of your own life. Say YES to life again!

Do you want to feel confident in yourself & your relationship with loved ones? Maybe you're a self identified perfectionist or people pleaser, struggle to say no or express your feelings. You try to keep the peace, so you avoid conflict, put others first, & are stuck in a vicious cycle of bottling your emotions only to explode later. Only so much can be swept under the rug before it seeps out in other ways: Often anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Together we will process the past to build a better future. From family to intimate partners, friendships, & most importantly the relationship with yourself, I am here to help.

Discussing the challenges you've been through is a vulnerable place, but also one that can be full of growth and clarity. I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with some of life's big transitions. I utilize an integrative approach to create a safe, trauma informed space to build regulation skills, communication skills, and process trauma. I have a background in working with adult survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, college students, and children in foster care birth to 21. Trauma and transitions are each taxing in their own profound ways, but each can lead to change. I'm here to hold that space with you.

Often in therapy we work to bring what's unconscious into consciousness, which can create more agency, freedom, and choice. As both a psychotherapist and writer, I believe in the power of finding connections between that which is seemingly disconnected in order to uncover a deeper understanding of oneself and the way one relates to others and the world.

With over 30 years of experience with children and their families I utilize many of the leading approaches including CBT and solution focused and strength based to help with a "good fit" or alliance being the primary objective. When the child or teen is comfortable in opening up healing and positive change is possible. Parents have many tools some of which they are not using to fullest and these can be accessed with help.

Our deepest wounds are beyond words. So are our deepest strengths. When fear, anger, and grief run high, verbal methods aren't enough. Now more than ever, there is a need to repair deep injuries and draw from deep strength. You need a healer who will help you mend from (not cope with) generations of pain - someone who can help you access resources you didn't know you have to make breakthroughs you didn't know were possible. Now more than ever, you're hoping for someone who can go into dark places with you and help you find your light - someone who advocates for you at your worst and brings out your very best.

For the past 30 years I have specialize in HIV/AIDS, codependency, severe complex trauma (PTSD and D.I.D.) and now those suffering with Lyme disease. I utilize E.M.D.R., psychodrama and very specific trauma healing techniques. I work best with those who are willing to explore, evaluate and try new ways of looking at themselves, their past and their future. I am open, honest and friendly. AT THIS POINT I AM UNABLE TO TAKE ANY NEW CLIENTS.

A well lived life inevitably presents challenges. It is natural and healthy to seek out support to help you through. I'm honored to welcome individuals, couples and families into therapy where both inner and relational awareness can grow and develop. Our work together will build on your strengths. We'll explore the roots of your distress, where you're stuck, and why. Shedding light on frustrating patterns, disconnection, trauma, depression, anxiety and grief can reveal a path to a deeper more compassionate connection with yourself -- opening up new possibilities for your life and relationships.
