I view therapy as a caring for the whole psyche. Working in a deep and supportive manner helps reveal unconscious patterns and aspects of ourselves giving space for new possibilities to emerge.

My approach is for those who are looking for tools to constructively solve life's challenges and strive to connect with the wise and creative aspects of their psyche.

NO CURRENT OPENINGS "If you never heal from what hurt you, you will bleed on people who didn't cut you." Mental health is just as important as physical health and yet we find often ourselves lacking in self care and emotional attention. Maybe you find yourself lashing out at loved ones, or having difficulties communicating effectively within relationships. Maybe you have inner doubts or shame that you have never been able to share in a safe and supportive setting. Maybe you are sick of constantly feeling depressed or anxious with no apparent cause and with minimal hope of change.

I focus on helping my clients improve their awareness of the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Though the development of a strong therapeutic relationship, I aim to help clients celebrate their strengths as well identify and challenge the maladaptive patterns that are keeping them stuck. Together we may explore new ways of labeling and expressing emotion, identify problematic interpersonal patterns, or challenge unhelpful mindsets. My approach emphasizes curiosity, not judgment, around the complex topics that often come up during our work together.

As a person and as a therapist, I understand how difficult it can be to verbally express the internal hurts and struggles one experiences in life. Whether you are seeking therapy because you are feeling stuck and want help moving forward after past traumas, are searching for greater self-understanding and self-worth, hoping to build or support healthy relationships, need addiction recovery support, or are looking for help with daily stressors, anxiety, or depression, I honor the courage it takes to seek help and I offer a safe and nonjudgemental space to begin your healing process.

I specialize in supporting family dynamics and attachment challenges. Many times, parents and children experience disruptions in their attachment, leading to changes in their family dynamics that can have a profound impact on their physical and mental health. The primary goal of our sessions is to reestablish more secure family patterns where attachment and caregiving responses become more effective and emotional bonds are repaired. My mission is to help families thrive by providing the tools and guidance necessary to build strong, lasting connections that foster overall well-being.

We were all teenagers once, and can often recall struggles, such as bullying, depression, anxiety, and fears during adolescence. Many of my clients struggle with the daily challenges of being a young person in this world. I know that the parents also struggle and I provide support for the children, and families. I also see adults and I'm happy to provide trauma based therapy to anyone aged 12 and up. My passion is to help others to grow and change in a way that complements the type of life that they want to live, rather than what they are currently struggling with. I would be delighted to be a part of your counseling journey.

As soft-bellied mammals, we're all vulnerable in the world and in relationships. We often receive the message that if we're just tough or smart enough, we should be fine. I've learned that the toughest, smartest, and most resilient people struggle and there are always good reasons. I help people find ways to create more security in their relationships by understanding where attachment instincts may be tangled up with survival instincts that make efforts to connect feel confusing and painful. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy and Somatic Experiencing, I help you feel better in your relationships with yourself, others, and your past.

I work with any individuals who are struggling with understanding who they are and where they fit into the world.

I am particularly interested in helping people develop insight and self-awareness, with the ultimate end of increased understanding of one’s self, goals, and sense of belonging in the world. Therapy can be a challenging yet life-enriching process, and I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with clients to help nourish deep connections.

Working with children and adolescents and their families since 1997, my emphasis has always been on how to help the adults help their kids. My focus is on finding out what a child needs and then figuring out how to help their parents, schools or caregivers meet those needs. I work with a variety of presenting concerns-from anxiety, depression, behavorial problems, grief, trauma, divorce and normal life transitions.

We are all wired for relationships and we long to connect with the people we love. Our relationships with those around us affect the way we think and feel about ourselves and our world. Eventually, we develop habitual patterns of thinking that influence our emotions, behaviors, and even our physical experience. Sometimes, these patterns become problematic, cause us distress, and keep us from reaching our goals.

We all need to feel heard, valued and respected. But, what happens when our own stress level or that of our children becomes more than we can manage? When ideal communication goes out the window, and we feel frustrated and at a loss? I work therapeutically with you and your child to discover the reasons behind your child's behavior and teach you the skills necessary to restore balance. Whether you or your child are experiencing the effects of divorce, depression, anxiety, oppositional acting out or ADHD, I can help by identifying the cause and offering solutions.
