I listen closely to each individual and support his or her unique ability to heal by utilizing the wisdom of their mind, body, and soul. My approach is grounded in the belief that each person possesses innate inner resources he/she can use to heal, grow, thrive, and fully connect with their soul to become the whole person that they are meant to be. My service is the work of the soul. My work and approach are characterized by intuition, compassion, optimism and collaborative exploration, and a re...

Grief can make us feel lost and confused, but we can feel better. People typically think grief and loss are solely about losing a loved one. But we endure ambiguous losses more often than acknowledged. It can occur through experiences such as depression, anxiety, a relationship break-up, pandemics, or other life events. Although the emotions might seem to be everlasting, healing is achievable. I believe everyone needs support from others at some point in their lives. That does not mean they are ...
As women we play so many roles and often have little time to care for our personal needs. This can become a way of being which often leads to feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, drained, and stressed. When we create a healthy balance that includes our needs as priority, we experience more energy, more love, more joy, and a clearer sense of purpose. As your therapist, I will explore your concerns, assist you in identifying your personal strengths, and help you to develop effective coping strategies...

Through my experience working with a variety of individuals, I truly believe that we all hold an innate ability to heal. This beautiful process gets hindered by obstacles, such as trauma or shame, perhaps resulting from adverse life events to our family of origin to systemic oppression.

I think about patients from a psychodynamic perspective, and I make liberal use of both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques. In plain English? In all therapeutic endeavors, I try to maintain a balance between exploring early contributors to current troubles on the one hand -- and, on the other, focusing on present-day patterns that maintain or exacerbate them. I work from the premise that our choices and behavior often have unconscious motivations and unarticulated assumptions. ...

My aim is to create a warm and collaborative environ...
Life is tough! I recognize and understand that sometimes life knocks us down or throws us a curve ball. Every now and then it can make it hard to get out of bed, ignoring our everyday responsibilities. Sometimes it can make us very anxious, worrying all the time if the decisions we’re making are the right ones. Making difficult transitions in life (i.e. what college to go to, what job to accept and am I in the right relationship) can be stressful. Therapy is a great opportunity to get a new pers...

The pressure in college can be really insane. Trying to keep up with your school work and still be a good friend and daughter, not to mention all of the other balls you juggle can feel untenable. You’re learning more about yourself everyday, and that means your relationships are changing too. This time in your life should be about excitedly preparing for your future. If anxiety, self consciousness, relationship issues or even traumatic stuff from your past is over shadowing that, I can help....
My approach is relaxed and individualized and I like to use humor where appropriate. I love working with women who may look like they have their shit together from a distance, but behind the mask they wear for others, they are filled with self-doubt, worry, and are chronic over-thinkers. They have this nagging feeling that they're not good enough and too often compare themselves to the people around them. They're not great with personal boundaries and would rather disappoint themselves than o...
