“I see my role as a guide and facilitator to help you discover the resources within to become an active agent of your own healing and growth. You’ll develop new awareness about the patterns in your life that no longer serve you and new skills to transform those patterns. For couples, I’ll help you lower reactivity and shift the dynamics that block intimacy and connectedness so that you can engage with each other with more authenticity and empathy.
My specialties include relationship, work, self-esteem, depression and anxiety, loss, illness and chronic pain, and life transitions. I have been practicing for 20 years and am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy as well as short-term solution focused therapy and mind/body skills.
In a compassionate and boundaried setting I will help you find ways to manage the discomfort and pain that arise from life’s challenges so that you can feel more vitality, connectedness, authenticity and peace.”
