I serve individual adults as a CERTIFIED JUNGIAN ANALYST sensitive to injustice and cruelty within one’s society, work setting, family and/or partnership, and especially within one’s own psyche. This covers your concerns about mood, relationships, sex and sexuality, creativity issues, compulsions, coping with change or loss, lack of passion, disorganization, or effects of neglect, abuse or trauma. We would aim at your gaining greater clarity and self-acceptance and living authentically and more fully. We might explore dreams, fantasies and whatever else your soul expresses, applying courage, honesty, humility and imagination.

We seek therapy when we find ourselves stuck. My role is to help you get unstuck so that you can live a happier and more rewarding life. Working collaboratively, we will identify and explore unrecognized patterns of relationship. Our basic experience of the world is largely determined by the nature of these patterns. I can help you change these patterns, and in this way to discover new possibilities for living.

Have the huge life changes induced by the Covid-19 pandemic brought you to the brink of despair? Many patients grapple with employment change or loss and a resulting lack of structure, identity and purpose in life. Others struggle with spending 24 hours a day with their partners and/or children and attempt to console themselves with substances. Older folks and ones with chronic and/or life-threatening disease experience increased isolation and helplessness. We've all lost some of our favorite coping mechanisms! Psychotherapy enables you to reveal a self you may have kept hidden and to cope and change in ways that you desire.

Making the choice to seek and begin therapy is positive and courageous. It's often a valuable step toward resolving the issues that are blocking the pleasure and fulfillment you deserve. Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Poor body image? Do you have concerns about your sexual functioning? Issues with libido? Pain or discomfort with sexual activities? Having relationship difficulties? Struggling with sexual identity, orientation, or gender expression? Any or all of these can impact your overall well being. I aim to support your capacity to grow and change, feel grounded, and to live to your highest possibility!

I provide trauma-focused individual therapy to adults (ages 18 an up) who struggle with anxiety, depression, panic, trust/abandonment issues, intimacy dysfunction, and self harming behavior.

The decision to begin therapy is rarely easy, but once you begin you may be surprised by the changes that unfold. Finding a therapist who helps you feel safe, supported, and challenged is central to this process.

I believe the true pillars of continued success and growth are based on intention and relationships. If you're having trouble finding your "Why"? I am here to inspire simple changes that are a transformative guide on your journey to renewed health, restored relationships and a greater joy for living. The transition from "stuck" to "moving" is my passion. There is a powerful reciprocity between the mind and body connection. To meet each clients' unique needs, I enjoy using walks and hikes as a way to engage and communicate, and I always make humor and comfortability a priority. You are in control of the progress we make together.

Whether you are struggling with a life transition, feeling overwhelmed, or finding yourself stuck in unproductive patterns, talking it out with a non-judgmental person can help. My clinical training has focused on a wide range of mental health concerns, however I have particular expertise in helping people work through anxiety, depression, substance use, adult ADHD/executive functioning concerns, and anomalous experiences (such as hearing voices, psychosis, mania, suspiciousness, and extreme states). Additionally, I have extensive experience working therapeutically with people who are neurodivergent.

Have you been having trouble finding an open-minded therapist you connect with? Are you going through something that needs attention, and not sure where to seek help? Therapy can help you gain insight into persistent patterns and issues, connect some of the moving parts of your experiences, and guide you toward actualizing your full potential. I provide guidance and support to individuals looking to find answers to problems with relationships, trauma, self-esteem, career stress/burnout, depression/anxiety, and family estrangement.

The focus of my practice is to provide a safe place, where together we can work through any life-transition and/or challenges that may be keeping you from moving forward. Together, we will find understanding, resiliency and strength. I offer you a supportive, non-judgmental and compassionate environment. I favor a collaborative and person-centered approach. You have already taken the most difficult step by recognizing the courage involved with asking for help. I look forward to working with you.

Are you feeling broken, stuck, and defeated by difficult past experiences? Do you struggle to make it through your day without feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed? Almost everyone has felt this way at one point or another in their life. All of life's challenges right now may be making it difficult to find peace within yourself, but you do not have to continue to feel this way. I can help you take back your life and find your truest authentic self once again.
