We have all been tested by a global pandemic. You may have found yourself using unhealthy ways to cope to manage increased stress and anxiety (overeating, having an extra glass of wine, arguing with family members, throwing yourself into work, worrying, isolating yourself). When things go wrong (divorce, job stress/loss, medical challenges, financial pressures, death of loved ones) many people become self-critical, negative, and avoidant. The way we navigate these challenging times can determine whether we build inner strength and gain wisdom or bear the consequences of unrelenting standards, self-criticism and disconnection.

Through trauma focused and chronic stress modalities, we process past and present stuck imprints to bring the body and mind back to a balanced state.
Practice is accepting new clients! I am passionate about providing education and empowerment around the mind-body connection. We learn to understand how the mind and body may be in survival mode and how a learned response may no longer serve us. Holding space allows for the body and mind to create space from imprinted thoughts & emotions in order to see choice in self-talk, belief systems, behaviors, and gain acceptance of ourselves. We learn how to rewire/rewrite our narrative through self-compassion.

“Peaceful are the empowered.” The focus of my practice is to empower individuals and families struggling with many of life's problems. Whether it is coping with COVID or over exposure to the media; dealing with stress from work, school, or a relationship; coping with an illness; or struggling with an addiction, life's problems can seem overwhelming and even debilitating at times. The good news is we hold the answers to our struggles, and can find them if given the opportunity to talk them out in a safe and judgment free environment.

There are many reasons why constant overthinking impairs our mental health, so many reasons why analyzing situations over and over again in our head interferes with our life, and when left to its own devices why overthinking can become damaging. The sadness, the stress, the endless worrying, all the negative thoughts that have the ability to flood our mind with intensity and drain our body until exhaustion can often lead to Anxiety, Depression, and other mental health disorders. I want to help you to understand, make sense of the uncertainty, return to you some control and hope, and the possibility of learning from it all.

I am trained in Critical Incident Stress Management techniques as well as in the therapeutic use of the Expressive and Creative Arts.
Problems are meant to be worked on, people are meant to be worked with. The therapy process offers a way to work through your problems while you are partnered with, heard and supported. Many paths can be taken, all intersect with the paths of others.

If, along the way, you struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, parenting or eldercare, I can equip you with tools and skills to help you cope.

After graduating from social work school 46 years ago, it has been my privilege to have partnered with and met all kinds of people from all walks of life presenting with a myriad of struggles. From my perspective, treatment is all about improving one's quality of life. Experience has shown me that with the appropriate amount of support and reality testing, most people are quite capable of addressing their challenges and feeling better about themselves. I prefer using a more traditional psychodynamic approach to treatment. Such an approach emphasizes providing a positive space for people to change.

Over the past 14 years I have put together a unique system of problem solving and planning called "Growing The Whole Way". This system teaches how to think bigger and work with the mind, body, and spirit for better results in making change. It also supports taking care of yourself in the process. My workbook includes key concepts and practical strategies to help with motivation, organization, and meaningful planning. It also teaches efficiency along with follow through and self development. Once complete this book can become a personalized reference outside of session time. This system can also be used again for future goals.
