“I have 23 years of experience helping people with loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, feeling "stuck", low self esteem, and relationship problems. I believe that all individuals have the ability to change, heal, and reach their fullest potential.I have extensive post-graduate training in proven techniques for helping people change old, self-defeating patterns of thinking and behaving. I am well-prepared to be a compassionate and attentive guide on your path of change and growth.

I draw upon a range of approaches tailored to individual needs: insight-oriented therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, art therapy, and body awareness techniques. I can help you develop new coping methods and skills in mindfulness, cognitive re-framing, and assertiveness; empowering you to meet your life goals.

I bring an Eastern, holistic philosophy to my work. This perspective emphasizes attending to the whole person with curiosity and acceptance. Self-awareness is nurtured without forcing change. Call and I will be happy to talk with you about your therapy needs before starting therapy.”
