Life brings painful experiences that can pull us away from becoming who we were intended to be. Whatever the source of your pain, there is grace, comfort, and healing for you. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to heal, and in the courage of my clients as they pursue wholeness. I am passionate about creating a safe space for my clients to explore the problems that keep them from being intimately connected with themselves and the people they love. I use a whole person approach; trying to be attentive to the synergy of body, mind, and spirit in the client's experience.

I provide a safe, empathic and supportive environment as we work together to improve the quality of your life. My experience includes but is not limited to encouraging clients who are: suffering from trauma (including sexual abuse), grieving the loss of a loved one, challenged by anxiety and/or depression, working through divorce and/or blended family issues, hoping to improve relationships and desiring self acceptance. I also have experience facilitating general, parenting and sexual abuse support groups. "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do."

Everyone faces life transitions, some celebratory and others mournful. My aim is to help you navigate these transitions without sacrificing your emotional health. My approach is comprehensive and looks at all the possible influences affecting overall emotional health. A large part of my practice includes a focus on building mindfulness techniques to help you feel more in touch with yourself and empowered to respond to life’s challenges with ease. I integrate a relationship-focused, trauma-informed treatment, with evidenced based techniques such as EMDR, EFT, and Mindfulness CBT.

I am here to help you embody a way of being that you are nurtured by. Pain and loss are a part of life and my work gives you a space to share and process your story, make meaning in the face of suffering, and move towards healing and growth. We all get stuck, in overwhelming emotions, unwanted behaviors, and destructive patterns in relationships.

Sometimes life throws a curveball that wasn't anticipated, is difficult to handle, or that just seems unfair. While some things can't be changed -- the way circumstances are experienced and the responses we make to our circumstances requires skills that can be learned and applied to improve quality of life. The things we say to ourselves when facing overwhelming circumstances, disappointment, and injustice are vitally important. Whether you contend with uninvited trauma, grief and loss, anxious or depressed moods, or challenges in significant relationships, it is important to make choices that nurture meaningful life experience.

Regardless of the challenges you face, I believe you are the expert on you. My role is a supportive one as you identify your needs and work through complicated emotions and life experiences. Our work together is a partnership with shared aims: fewer unwanted emotions and behaviors, and a greater ability to respond to stressors. Whether you experience anxiety, grief, trauma, or interpersonal challenges, I am mindful of the vital influence of one's environment, culture, family system, and identity.

I'm interested in helping you understand what triggers your emotional distress and why, as well as what to do about it. My approach engages your mind, body, and inner wisdom as we work together to meet your therapy goals. I'll teach you skills for managing your emotions and stress while helping you transform challenges into opportunities for growth, self-acceptance, and healing. I'm best suited to treat anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, and the lingering challenges of having grown up in a highly-stressed family.

I specialize in helping people of all ages navigate challenges and make changes in their relationships: the relationship with a spouse or partner, the relationship with children or parents, the relationships with extended family or friends, the relationship with loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, substances and most often, the relationship with oneself. For over 25 years I've had the privilege of helping people create a more meaningful life for themselves.

We all have deep inner wisdom that we can access to improve our lives. As a depth-oriented (LMFT) Marriage and Family Therapist, yoga therapist and EMDR-trained therapist, I consider all aspects of a person’s whole being and life to incorporate somatic-based therapies and interventions. In the therapeutic process, I aim to help clients bring consciousness to the unconscious for their healing journey to wholeness. I love supporting individuals and groups through change, loss, transition, and transformation. Click on this link and we can confirm if I am able to take your insurance.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness, I help my clients identify and change ways of thinking and coping that may be impacting their mental health. This approach includes teaching coping skills that will target specific symptoms and triggers as well as learning to cope with or resolve intense emotional pain. I use this approach to treat complicated grief, trauma, panic, and related anxiety or depression.

My approach to therapy is insight oriented, solution focused and centered on helping you become more conscious of your thoughts, feelings and integrating the two in order to help you live a more fulfilled life. Finding the right therapist is a crucial part of the healing process and developing the right connection is key in developing an effective therapeutic relationship. Choose someone whose experience you trust supported by online reviews, someone who you like as a person and someone who sees the untapped possibilities in you. I will be dedicated to ensuring you get the best quality care possible!
