I specialize in supporting individuals through journeys of life transitions, family building (foster care, adoption, or reproductive medicine), aging, grief/loss, and trauma. I support you as you learn to navigate challenges brought on by significant life events, look for the lessons hiding in such challenges, and find your way back to your heart amidst them. It is always a privilege and honor to walk alongside you as you seek to live life consciously - growing, living, or aging with purpose.

Personal discovery and growth is one of life's greatest challenges but also provides one of life's greatest rewards. Through my own healing journey to address childhood trauma, I did many years traditional talk therapy. While I found this to be helpful, it wasn’t until I discovered somatic experiencing (SE) therapy that I began to experience a deep settling in my body and mind in a relatively short period of time. This settling of the nervous system can lead to a newfound sense of feeling present and engaged in life. One gains more capacity to experience positive emotions, tolerate negative emotions without becoming overwhelmed.

Hello and welcome! Finding the right therapist can be a challenging task and I want to acknowledge your courage for taking the first step towards creating vital change in your life. When reaching out for help, we all want to feel at ease and comfortable; working with someone free of judgement who treats us with kindness and respect. I am very easy to talk to and my aim is to assist you in obtaining a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I have been working with children, adults, teenagers, families and couples for over 10 years.

I AM HERE TO HELP YOU LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT TO BE LIVING AND MAKE THE DECISION TO DO JUST THAT TODAY. GRIEF AND LOSS, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, MARITAL DISCORD OR DISSATISFACTION, UNHAPPY, UNDER ACHIEVING OR PERFECTIONISTIC TEENAGERS ? Life happens, and there is a choice on how to react/respond to each and every stimulus. Either in Fear or Love. Acceptance is Peace/Resistance is Pain. I can provide the tools to achieve a healthier, happier, higher functioning, harmonious life. You and your family will leave my office with concrete techniques to implement immediately. I am passionate about my profession and honored to be of service.

There is no one approach to psychotherapy that is right for everyone.  As your therapist, I will take a highly individualized approach to the work that we do by starting with a comprehensive approach to understanding your unique circumstances and goals.  My work is always guided by the  principles of a psychodynamic approach, is informed by a wide range of psychoanalytic theories and is grounded in the wisdom of somatic experiencing.

Sometimes our life experiences lead us astray from our true nature which may cause unwanted struggles and allow false beliefs to dictate how we show up in the world. If you are experiencing difficulties in your life or problems with your relationships and want to create a healthier life that brings you peace, joy, purpose, and fulfillment, I welcome the opportunity to support you. I have great admiration for those who choose transformation. I know the strength, courage, and vulnerability it takes to live and express as your authentic self. It is not easy, but with the proper support and guidance, positive growth is possible.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Let's begin a new journey on a path that YOU choose. Whether you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, or searching for deeper insight and personal growth, I seek to help you become the best version of yourself. I focus on building your self-awareness and insight because I believe that we have to intimately know ourselves in order to implement change successfully. Growth is not easy, immediate or painless, but it is well worth it as you begin to move closer to your most authentic, fulfilling life.

I've been fascinated with how people change and don't change over the last 30 years. There is some stickiness in ourselves and others I think we'd all like to feel the power to transform. I've realized that fears about the sense of self not being good enough, lovable, or valuable knock us out of our connection to our internal core values, right in the moment where our core values would transform the situation. Contemplate when you let yourself down and don't follow through with what you know you want to do. Reflect on the times you've needed compassion and only received an evaluation. How would you change all this stickiness?

I will teach you how to develop confidence and belief in yourself. I will teach you how to be a strong and assertive man or woman. I will teach you the skills needed to develop high quality and fulfilling personal and business relationships. My therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and results oriented.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. We all struggle at times in life and sometimes it is hard to solve our problems all on our own. I provide the space for you to work through whatever thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors have you feeling stuck or cause you to feel dissatisfied with yourself, your relationships, or just life in general. My role is to offer insight, guidance, and support when family and friends aren't enough.
