Many people who seek mental health services struggle to find a clinician who is both personable and effective. The most important factor in therapeutic success is the therapeutic relationship. I am not the right fit for everyone, but finding the right professional is key. My work includes working with difficult to treat individuals as well as those who have experienced previous treatment failures. I am also a forensic psychologist and conduct evaluations of individuals involved with the legal system and often provide expert testimony. If you think I might be able to help you achieve your therapeutic goals, please contact me.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, spiritual crisis/development, and I coach people to help them realize their life goals, what they really want in life, work/career and relationships. I use specialized cognitive, client centered, and somatic approaches. For details please see www.newtranspersonalpsychotherapy.com

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes?

We are always, already in relationship. Whether it is a relationship to another person, place, or oneself, we are in some way connected to and affected by our surroundings. It's in relationship that our deepest hurt can take place, and it's also in relationship that our most profound and liberating healing can occur. Let's utilize relationship- yours and mine, other relationships in your life (partner or friends), and the greater context of society, and nature to illuminate your unconscious patterning, and support you in finding new, intentional ways of being that bring you greater joy, clarity, and wellbeing.

Simply put, I love being a part of one's journey toward his/hers greatest emotional health. I believe that all persons have unique tools to heal one's self.

Not Accepting New Clients. There is great opportunity for growth in life's challenges. Whether you are struggling with past trauma, relationship issues, life transitions or anxiety/depression, my goal is to help you find a strong trust and confidence in yourself and your inner wisdom. Blending traditional and non-traditional approaches to growth and change, we work to identify and shed thoughts, beliefs and actions that are no longer working, and to find new and effective ways to approach old problems.

As a seasoned psychotherapist/life coach, I believe in our innate healing potential and guide my clients to unlock their internal wisdom, resilience and resources for healing. Somatic (body-centered), mindfulness-based approaches to holistic coaching and therapy, allow me to integrate my clinical training while tuning into intuition to effectively guide the unfolding healing process of my clients. Trauma-informed, holistic coaching and therapy allows for greater capacity to rewire the brain, which can make the unconscious conscious and shift your automatic reactive patterns and outdated beliefs, helping you to live your best life.

Are you looking to make a life change with the support of alternative holistic methods along with time tested traditional tools? If so, I can help you. Whether you are looking to shift the symptoms of anxiety, depression, or trauma, or wanting support through a life situation or transition, you don’t have to do it alone! I work with people both in a traditional office-based format, as well as in an intensive model to accelerate your process. I also offer individual and group-based personally meaningful, culturally relevant Rite of Passage experiences to support you in conscious and intentional movement through life challenges.

As children, play is how we live our lives, interact with our environment, communicate our thoughts, feelings, and passions. Often times the stresses of life, relationships, job pressures, traumas, and losses make us forget how to play, how to explore, and seek growth. Wherever you find yourself today, I would be honored to help YOU find YOUR way back to your playful spirit. One that encourages you to grow, explore, and understand yourself. Gently pushing you to be the best you, you can be. So that you can overcome obstacles that are in your way, conquer hills you are seeking to climb, and relationships you are hoping to create.

Have you spent too much time feeling stuck, spinning scenarios and stories around in your head that are causing you pain and isolation? Are you seeking gentle ears and a grounded presence to support your moving forward with strength and grace? I believe all worthy journeys behold a fair share of good times and challenging obstacles. I am here to support the highs, lows and everything in between. Whether you are mourning a loss or contemplating a big, new beginning, I look forward to guiding, nurturing and supporting you.

For over 25 years I have worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds, people who may find themselves struggling through a life crisis, interpersonal struggles, or just wanting to improve the quality of their own life. I proudly adhere to my social work Code of Ethics, and work in an atmosphere free of any judgement or shame. I am always mindful and respectful of boundaries and confidentiality. I have a full time practice where I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families.
