Welcome! Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent many years in the law and advocacy field. My previous training and experience helps me relate well with many different backgrounds with a greater understanding and appreciation for the diverse issues and concerns encountered by others. I love working with adults of all ages and couples in their journey towards self-discovery, personal growth, greater connection and fulfillment.
With 43 years experience in this field, I want to celebrate your life’s journey and be a catalyst for your awakening to new levels of well-being. Congratulations for showing up for You!
You are taking a giant step in moving your life forward. I have many tools to assist you; from Gabor Mate’s Approach to Trauma Recovery (Compassionate Inquiry) to Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems Parts Work (IFS) to Voice Dialogue, the Gottman Relationship Method, Jungian Archetypal Shadow Work with Myth and Dreams... to all the Expressive Arts Therapies - Art, Writing, Poetry, Music, Dance, Drama, Guided Imagery, Sand-tray and Ritual. My deepest desire is to be present for you as you open the doors to your dreams.
I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where I walk alongside you rather than ahead of you. For nearly a decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, substance use, chronic pain, and life transitions. My background in clinical psychology, along with board certification in biofeedback and neurofeedback, allows me to integrate both psychological and physiological approaches to healing. Most importantly, I deeply respect the uniqueness of your lived experience and strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered.
WE ALL HAVE A STORY...
A story of where we come from, where we’ve been, where we are, and where we hope to go. My goal is to help you find the words for your struggles, gain clarity from your experiences, and create space for your learning, growth and healing—so you can move closer to the life you envision. Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or a major life change, and looking for support that honors your story and background? I support individuals, age 18+, including people navigating life transitions, trauma, grief, cultural expectations, self-esteem, and work or school stress. My primary focus is helping you feel heard while finding greater wholeness and connection.
I have supported clients with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, relational issues, personality disorders and trauma. I completed my M.A. in psycholoy in 2018 and since then I have worked in both private practice and school settings. I am also trained in EMDR. I use an eclectic approach to therapy that I tailor to meet the needs of each client.
