About My Clients

You don't have to do this alone. I bring decades of experience working with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma & transitions, relationship challenges, loneliness, and the big life questions. Together we can create a safe space for you to explore, express and affirm who you are, as we work towards getting you where you want to be. If you have a desire to feel more authentic, more connected & at ease, & to live life with more joy, passion & purpose, you've found the right person.

My Background and Approach

My approach is holistic, collaborative, relational, trauma-informed & mindfulness-based. Whether we are doing traditional talk therapy or incorporating meditations, breathing exercises, body-based explorations, or yogic wisdom, our work together is always a co-created unfolding of personal expression & discovery. With over 25 years of experience, my training is extensive, with 2 Masters (MSW & Dance-Movement Therapy), abundant postgraduate training in multiple evidence-based psychotherapies & mindbody healing arts, and advanced certifications as a yoga teacher & yoga therapist. And while most of the time in sessions we may "just talk," we have a larger context of tools & perspectives to help you learn how to better navigate life's ups &downs. Tools that can help you alleviate anxiety & depression, deal better with stress & conflict, change your relationship with anger, fear, trauma, & grief, work with addictions & childhood wounds, improve memory, sleep issues & self-esteem, and more!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I hold as my life's dedication a desire to inspire health, consciousness, and creative living. My core values of connection, collaboration and compassion guide me, and my primary goal is for each client to feel seen, heard, understood and celebrated. I aim to undo aloneness as we work together to meet your goals. Non-judgemental and down-to-earth, all are welcome with humility and sensitivity. I have been honored to witness great transformation, growth and healing in my clients over the years and I look forward to being a part of your journey. ->> I am also the owner of a boutique group practice specializing in integrative psychotherapy. Our dedicated clinicians have openings & take BCBS, CIGNA & offer generous sliding scale.
