Creating balance in mind, body and spirit is my personal and professional mission. I have been in the counseling field for over two decades. My experience has been very extensive from working with young children in a psychiatric setting to counseling the Geriatric population in hospital and nursing home settings to educating clients on integrative therapeutic approaches like yoga. Currently, my focus has been treating women issues, depression and anxiety issues, physical illness and traumas, parenting issues, cognitive impairment and life transitions. I prefer adults but have been skilled in working with children.

Instead of describing my ideal client, I'll disclose that I tend to be the ideal therapist for Type A personalities/ perfectionists. Those who have achieved great professional/ academic success are coming to see me because those trusted skills don't deliver the same success in other areas of life, often affecting their relationships and causing distress during the early postpartum period. Suppose you value direct communication, are willing to engage in therapy on the regular, and are ready to unlearn old stuff and the story about yourself. In that case, I think you should reach out so we can further discuss our availability.

Now Accepting New Clients! I love working with individuals, couples, families and groups who want to grow as human beings. In connecting with their true selves, they heal from past wounds, practice life-relationship skills in the present, and find meaning and purpose in their life journey. I assist with fostering well-being in their evolving life, cultivate healing relationships and integrate mind-body-emotion-energy-soul-spirit in their life and relations.

When we are out of balance in mind, body, or spirit, the overall effect is that we don’t feel well. We become plagued by knowing something is wrong, but perhaps do not know exactly what that is, how we got there, or how to begin changing it. As the imbalance worsens, so does our discomfort, and we begin to suffer the effects of emotional dis-ease and physical disease. An imbalance commonly presents itself (for example) as anxiety or depression. When a struggle wages in the mind, its effects are often felt throughout the body in the form of fatigue, distractability, digestive problems, muscle tension, chronic pain, and more.

Many women experience emotional challenges that manifest as anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues. These symptoms may appear suddenly or over time in response to a major life occurrence.

As women, we give so much of ourselves to everyone else that it often gets in the way of our ability to thrive; I believe we deserve to feel good, and that the world is a better place when we are thriving.
I work with women who are struggling to keep up with their daily life, who feel trapped in a never-ending cycle of stress and overwhelm, and who are hoping to find a way out. These women know that “there is more” but just can’t seem to pull it off. They look at other women and wonder "why everything is so easy for them – what is wrong with me that I can’t figure this out?”. These women are ready to feel better NOW. My unique approach blends medication management AND effective therapeutic techniques to women who struggle with depression, anxiety, and a sense of overwhelm. Accepting NEW patients for telemedicine appointments.
