**All sessions done virtually.** If you are hungry for personal growth and willing to work at it, the breakthrough you are seeking is within reach. We did not evolve to do life alone...we need support, and reaching out is the first and most important step. My approach is experiential, mindfulness-based, somatic, and person-centered. I utilize somatic ways of working with trauma, depression and attachment issues.

"The most important relationship is the mind's relationship with itself. In other words, the ultimate--and, really the only--relationship you have is the relationship you have with your own thoughts." ~ Byron Katie. I find in my work with people that moving towards health in a relationship, or in improving anxiety, depression or a history of trauma, that working with both the thoughts of the left brain, the images of the right brain and the beauty of getting both hemisphere's talking to each other can be a profound and moving experience.

I have had the privilege of witnessing people undergo the slow, extremely subtle and remarkable journey of healing and self-transformation. This process of psychological growth is astoundingly complex, multilayered, circular and even mysteriously numinous in its unfolding. My philosophy as a therapist is primarily on core transformation rather than merely symptom management and needless to say, I strongly believe in the centrality of the therapeutic relationship as a significant healing agent. Moving towards our wholeness necessitates the courage to first move into the wounded parts that we all have as members of the human species.

If you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships or you feel you are not living the life you were meant to live, I can help you. Perhaps you want to resolve indecision in some area of your life. Or you realize that you need help with anxiety or depression. Some people seek counseling when they have a problem controlling their behavior, such as drinking or arguing. Whatever your reason for wanting to change, please don’t wait to get yourself living the life you envision. Many people have experienced the changes you seek and I am looking forward to being a part of your success.

Each of us has capacity to grow, change, and better our quality of life, including you.

As a practitioner I am curious, open-minded, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I love my work and can think of no greater privilege than assisting in the healing of others. I honor this privilege by listening deeply to clients with my mind, body and heart. Based on my training and understanding of current neuroscience research, I have seen that the difficult experiences we have are stored in our body in complex ways. I provide a safe container to explore past experiences, body sensations, and belief systems you feel may be limiting you from experiencing your wholeness so you can live a more joyful life.

Do you want to feel accepted and understood? Do you want to be happy? Would you like to work on improving areas of your life that are not fully satisfying you? I can help! Counseling can benefit anyone, but often it can be difficult to find a good counselor. My approach is respectful, non-judgmental and genuine. I support you and build upon your strengths to work toward positive change. I promote skill building and see the counseling relationship as a collaboration. Initiating change requires effort and my role is to support and encourage you in your efforts.

** NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**I work with parents and children, married couples and individuals. I am interested in evaluating the whole person within their systems including, primary attachment relationships, implicit and explicit messages that adults received as children, the stress/ disease connection, looking at maladaptive patterns established in childhood that need to be corrected to return to the authentic self. I use the work of Gabor Mate, MD and Dan Siegel, MD in my treatment of individuals and families.

My approach to therapy is focused on providing a safe, supportive place for clients.I draw from a perspective that emphasizes both the interpersonal/relational nature of therapy as well as the important role that culture plays in how we define ourselves and relate to one another. I find that this approach helps to facilitate a strong working alliance between myself and my clients and in doing so sets the ground for clients to begin to challenge existing patterns in their lives and experiment with making healthy changes in the way they relate to themselves and others.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that works with individuals, couples and families by integrating a cognitive-behavioral and family systems approach. I provide a warm, safe, supportive environment, and my therapeutic style is respectful, collaborative and solution-focused.

I think counseling is always useful, even when there's nothing "wrong." We get a lot of chances to go, go, go but not a lot to slow down and reflect. Usually it takes some crisis of feeling or relationship to tell us it's time. I see those crises as opportunities, doorways to deeper understanding. And because we're not fixed individuals, they come and go as we change and grow.

Do you want to make room in your life for joy, confidence and hope? My approach is informed, compassionate, and heart-centered. Finding body-centered techniques beneficial to the body, I pace therapy with your body's wisdom. I work to resolve traumatic stress patterns, transforming them to nurture your unique, individual unfolding. I utilize a developmental, humanistic approach, integrating my psychotherapy training. My desire is to be available to adults to assist them in opening doors they have been unable to open alone, helping them assimilate difficult material at their own pace.

It can often feel like a brave step to decide to go to therapy. I specialize in recovery-- from old patterns that no longer serve you, problems with anxiety or depression, addiction, grief and relationships that are changing. Perhaps you are not sure what you need but you know something is just not quite right...Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to think carefully about your life, your history and what you hope for with a trained listener who can help you navigate and help you to figure important things out.

*My practice is currently full and I am not accepting new clients. ....My work as a therapist is well suited for those that are spiritual/intuitive, as well as drawn to holistic and alternative approaches. I use energy psychology protocals to effectively clear long standing beliefs patterns and behaviors that most traditional talk therapy modalities aren't able to. Using whole brain techniques, clairvoyance and powerful questions we can access your wisdom and create the life you truly desire. My work is especially helpful for those who want to stop judging themselves & their bodies. You can learn to love you.

I work with clients on a short-term model, identifying strengths and enhancing coping skills. I also do long-term insight-oriented work; identifying patterns of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors which reflect unconscious conflict and create barriers in relationships with oneself and others. Symptoms of anxiety and depression are often what prompt people to enter therapy. Some people want to learn tools and behaviors to alleviate symptomology; while others continue with therapy, after symptom reduction, and explore internal themes from their family-of-origin and how they are impacting their relationships today. I believe change occurs through the therapeutic relationship.
