*Please email for scheduling requests*. Hi there! I'm happy to hear that you're interested in taking the first step toward improving your life. Therapy can be a vital element in healing the most important relationship in your life: with yourself.

My clients work on stress management and on healthy ways to cope with relationship barriers, grief and loss, creative/academic/work challenges, and life transitions. They enjoy a mature and licensed collaborator as they make changes in or learn to live with a difficult situation. They learn and practice skills that illuminate their choices. They identify their strengths and use them in new ways. They see how perceptions and behavior affect well-being. My clients benefit from a well-rounded experienced therapist (in my case, over 30 years), and they describe me as warm, practical, good-humored, respectful, and nonjudgmental.

Taking the first step can be the most difficult and intimidating part. The good news is you are recognizing and being mindful of your own experience and what you might need. A step towards taking care of yourself in a healthy and meaningful way is a great one. Therapy can be a safe space to grow in self-awareness, gain insight into the meaning behind your feelings and experiences, and become more open to creating long lasting, sustainable change. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be let in to your personal story.

You may be thinking, “oh, forget it, I just can’t make that decision right now.” Or, “I don’t want to sit for an hour and cry while I tell a total stranger my life’s story.” Or, “what if someone finds out that I’m not perfect.

Hi there! I'm passionate about working with folks who deal with high functioning depression & anxiety, experienced childhood trauma and/or complex trauma, or who struggle with body image, disordered eating, and self esteem concerns.

Therapy provides the unique opportunity for you to adventure into and openly investigate your internal world.

I do so with a genuine curiosity and openness, integrating my training in mindfulness and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.
