“Do you notice repeating patterns that cause difficulty in your relationships? Do you have low self esteem or feel disempowered? I can help you resolve these issues and connect to the internal resources required to create change. You can raise your self esteem, reclaim your personal power and live a more fulfilling life. I provide a safe and supportive environment for self-exploration, connection, healing, and transformation. I offer psychotherapy and counseling to individuals, couples and adolescents.

I integrate contemporary psychological appoaches, Eastern teachings, the use of EMDR, a technique to release trauma, and a practice of somatic exercises to help you create a deeper connection with yourself. I also use the Enneagram, a wonderful tool for self awareness, to expand the inner knowledge and objectivity needed to evolve.

I specialize in women's issues. By developing awareness of internalized messages about who she is, questioning beliefs, exploring feelings, and learning about her deeper strengths, a woman can reclaim her power. I also specialize in healing trauma. I've had success in treating veteran's with PTSD using EMDR. For more information on EMDR, please check my web site.”
