I am a counselor, author, meditation teacher, bodyworker, energy healer and intuitive. My specialties include therapy for highly sensitive people, recovery from abusive relationships and therapy for perinatal mental health. I love working with adults and children and including creative interventions such as art and music. My path to becoming a counselor started with my own trauma recovery journey where I learned so much about mind-body psychology, holistic healing, and developed many healing practices including breathwork, kundalini and vinyasa yoga, and sound healing.

My ideal clients are those who show a willingness to have me walk beside them and hold their pain as they seek clarification on the emotions that drive their distress. By seeking treatment to address relationship issues, they discover that other aspects of their experience are influenced by their powerful need to connect with their significant others. I am best suited to treating marital distress and disconnection between teens and their parents. I understand the unique importance of familial relationships and the significant relief that comes when these relationships are repaired.

I love what I do! I am a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and caring individual who has gone through painful life experiences myself and have likewise experienced the freedom and peace of healing. I am an experienced, skillful clinician who treats adults, adolescents, and children who are experiencing anxiety, insecurity, nightmares, depression, emotional reactions to trauma, stress, grief, guilt, and/or anger. I diagnose and treat children's' issues including ADHD, separation anxiety, divorce issues, anxiety, depressive disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, behavioral, social, school, or academic problems. I teach parents to implement structure & behavioral techniques that really work!

I am warm, direct and non-pathologizing, helping clients seek practical solutions in the present to deal with challenging problems. My focus is to seek the deeper meaning inherent in problems using humor and honesty. I have strong belief in the strength of human beings and their ability to change and heal. The majority of my clients complete their work in ten sessions. For persons with more complex histories, e.g., trauma, we will work until we are done.

Welcome! I am accepting new clients, both in person and online. Therapy is a supportive tool that can start as early as 4 and as seasoned as someone in their 80's. Perhaps you are navigating a life transition and are unsure of where to go next? Or you feel ready to process that traumatic experience? In a collaborative environment you can discover your inner strength and realize within you is the ability to heal.

What is a survivor? Simply put, a survivor is someone who has experienced difficulty in their life. This could be the loss of a loved one, childhood neglect, multiple types of abuse, traumas, or violence. Whatever difficulty is being experienced, my role is to come alongside you, supporting you as you navigate your healing journey. Every individual is unique, so finding the tools, techniques, and therapeutic modalities to best fit for you is part of journey we will take together. I offer teletherapy services only at this time.
