Over the years, I have helped countless individuals and families find the solutions they need. Through the process of working together, clients uncover emotional blocks, discover patterns in their behavior, and remove the barriers that impact their lives. Many realize that they have a deep well of inner strength, just waiting to be tapped. Let me help you, gain insight into important areas of your life.

We all experience times in our lives when what once worked for us no longer does. We may become overwhelmed, anxious, fearful, or angry and are no longer able to ignore those feelings. Instead they get in our way. Talking to someone, especially one who listens to you carefully and joins you in a collaborative and supportive process, is amazingly helpful. People with whom I work note that they begin to feel better and less alone almost immediately.

Are you a 20 or 30 something looking to make sense of the confusing changes life so often throws our way? Like a musician, I'll teach you how to 'read the 'chord changes' of your life story to create more interesting music. I specialize in working with artists and show how deepening your personal work expands your craft.

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.

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.

For many of us, there comes a time when something in our life feels out of balance, out of control. Perhaps it's our marriage or partnership, a family relationship, a job, our health. As a psychotherapist, I feel my goal is not to provide you with answers or advice, but to help you understand yourself, your world, and your place in it.

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.

Choosing the right therapist can make all the difference. You may be someone who understands that a behavioral issue is getting in the way of successful relationships at work or at home, but can't figure out how to change it. You may be someone who is going through a life transition such as the birth of a new baby, career change, retirement, or loss of a partner. You may feel anxious, down, or have a general inability to feel happy. Together we can enhance your appreciation of yourself and those around you.

I believe that each person can live life to the fullest! Therapy can help a person remove those obstacles which prevent one from doing just that!
