Welcome! I specialize in relationships, work and parenting. I’m warm, creative, supportive & smart. I like to help people in life transitions. These are hard times. If you’re feeling alone, overwhelmed, upset or worried about the future, let me help. We collaborate to address the hard things in your life, discover your unique abilities & strengths & create a path toward your dreams and goals. I am a licensed psychotherapist with 30 + years’ experience working with people from age 2 to 100. I create space where you can feel comfortable expressing feelings & exploring difficult issues. We transform you’re goals into do-able steps.
We find ways to understand your issues & move toward your dreams & goals. I’ve found therapy, to be helpful, involves more than words and ideas. Wisdom of the past & neuroscience support an integrative mind-body approach to healing. I interweave practical & creative approaches including; EMDR, neuroscience, Jungian, family systems, & Sensorimotor.
I work successfully with relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma & PTSD. I help navigate life transitions, pregnancy, adoption, parenting, ADHD, autism, loss, divorce, health-related challenges, retirement & aging. As a couple or family you can strengthen your, communication while your deepening connection & resilience.
