Wait List-please email or call to join wait list-Women are often faced with many challenges over the course of a lifetime. Navigating adolescence, motherhood, parenting, and life transitions (even positive ones) can sometimes lead to uncertainty, anxiety, mixed emotions, stress, and feeling overwhelmed. We all deserve to have support and knowledge to help us through these challenges so that we can feel better for ourselves and for our families.

Over the last thirty years as a Clinical Psychologist, I have learned how children, adults, couples, and families break free of disheartening relational patterns and rewrite oppressive stories.

I truly love my work, and that may be because I am still learning every day how to ask questions that spark wonder and creativity, how to listen for the depth behind words, knowing when to be patient, when to challenge.
