When I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I made it a point to meet with patients before reading their chart. As a clinical supervisor of graduate-level social work students, I emphasized the importance of listening without the cloud of a diagnosis and repeated histories. Emotions need to be heard, whether in the form of fierce opinions or protective language. This can happen, in conversation, if the therapist is able to shed or expose known competing biases.

If you've reached this page you are likely seeking a different kind of conversation. One in which all of you will be heard in a spirit of safety and respect, without judgment or criticism. A conversation which may activate your native abilities to understand, tolerate, and ease internal stress, gain genuine insight into troubling relationships, and develop more ease and control over the challenges in living that each of us faces daily.

I have a unique, interdisciplinary background as a seasoned and compassionate holistic psychotherapist (individual, couples, family), divorce/family mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach. I view and treat patients as whole people, integrating Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, wellness, and Buddhist principles into a tailored holistic approach. Together, these approaches help patients understand and change how their thoughts and emotions impact their behavior. As a mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach, I am committed to helping people avoid court and resolve their differences sensibly and compassionately. I am passionate about minimizing the negative effects of divorce and separation by fostering effective coparenting.

I am a body-centered psychotherapist, passionate about helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom and joy. In my role as a loving and supportive guide, I will help you listen deeply to the parts of yourself keeping you from your true path. And since no two healing paths are alike, I have several areas of expertise, including Rubenfeld Synergy Method, an elegant modality combining touch and talk; EMDR, an effective way to heal trauma; Internal Family Systems therapy, a powerful system designed to help resolve inner conflicts; Jungian dream work; Mindfulness meditation; and Food and Body Image groups.

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in the treatment of the whole person through a highly individualized approach that we will co-construct together. My approach involves taking a very thorough history but most importantly listening to your concerns. I work well with people who have both long and short term issues. I specialize in helping people who have personality disorders, alcohol/drug issues, sexuality issues and histories of trauma. As an adolescent/young adult specialist (ages 15-25) I can work with both the young person and their family and will develop a concise formulation of the dynamics that will be useful to all.

What makes an authentic life? How do we create a meaningful existence, while making our way through the unexpected twists and turns in our path? As an engaged and compassionate psychotherapist, I will companion you in navigating major life transitions, relationships, identity issues, family, career conflicts or creative blocks. We will identify and shift long-standing patterns that no longer serve growth, while working together to reduce symptoms that prevent you from living a fulfilling life. Disruptive patterns and symptoms also carry the seeds for change if we listen carefully and connect with their deeper currents of meaning.
