In the over twenty years that I have been in the clinical practice of psychotherapy, I remain amazed by the tenacity and resilience of the human spirit. I respect the human capacity to survive and adapt to challenges - big and small, acute and chronic - but also the ability to make change given the right circumstances. It has been an honor to witness and be part of many individuals’ journeys to a better and more satisfying life using psychotherapy. Sometimes peoples’ ability to change has seemed miraculous. Through my training, many modalities have been embedded into my practice including cognitive-behavioral techniques.

I help clients optimize their potential and achieve a sense of mastery and purpose in their personal and professional lives. Whether your goal is to embody an authentic leadership presence, achieve new behaviors, build a positive body image or to create powerful and sustainable change in any aspect of your life, experience and observation have taught me that lasting change is only possible when the whole self is engaged--body, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, language and energy/spirit. Utilizing a multidimensional perspective opens up creative and meaningful solutions for healing, connection and skillful action.
