I have been a therapist since 1985. My degree is in Transpersonal Psychology where spirituality and psychology meet. I took ten years off from practice to raise my kids and then started up again working with new moms. In 2010, I taught Kabbalah. My specialty is working with people who are on a spiritual path or are religious. I survived my own cancer treatment in 2009 and am fully in remission. I also saw my husband through his demise from Dementia in 2020. These kinds of difficult experiences have given me the strength to rise again after being beaten down. I can help you do that too.

Do you feel like something is wrong with you? Do you wish it would all just stop and go away? Is your child acting out and you don't know why or what to do? If you have had any of these thoughts, then you're in the right place! My practice is based around what happened to us, not what is wrong with us. I am here to support & guide you in processing thoughts and feelings, reflect on experiences, learn new coping skills, and figure out next steps.
