Practice Information
Life offers us opportunities for growth, healing and self-discovery. I offer a compassionate and supportive environment utilizing a strength based approach. A vital part of my work is to support you in exploring your inner resources and innate wisdom while cultivating practices that will deepen a greater sense of well-being. May it be long term objectives or short term goals, my intention is to provide practical tools and guidance moving towards insight, self-acceptance, healthier relationships and deeper connections. I welcome individuals, couples and families of any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and spiritual beliefs.

I use an integrative and relational approach to tailor treatments that meet the unique needs of each individual. I specialize in transpersonal and somatic therapy in treating the whole-person. Some areas of focus include life transitions, PTSD, relationship issues, couples/marital counseling, anxiety, depression, loss/grief, anger management, substance abuse, spirituality, identity exploration, parenting issues, blended families, co-parenting and divorce.

As a therapist I bring my education, training, professional experience, a diverse career background and my personal life experiences. I hold a deep commitment to my own healing and inner growth and believe in the healing potential of psychotherapy and counseling.
