About Me
Since beginning my career as a therapist in 2001, my passion remains helping others access their inner wisdom and build skills to create deep connection with themselves and others. When old patterns of thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors that may have helped in the past begin to wear thin and keep us stuck, I believe that is life's call to move past old constraints into greater freedom and peace. I integrate EMDR, EFT, ACT, IFS, Somatic, Jungian, existential, and other therapeutic orientations to create a holistic approach in meeting each person's and each couple's unique needs and experiences. I specialize in treating trauma at any point in life, including childhood attachment disturbances that impact adult relationships and day to day functioning. I also specialize in helping people navigate life transitions and exploration of religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs that provide value and meaning to a person's life. I celebrate all aspects of diversity and respect all belief systems. I consider it a profound privilege to be invited into a person's private experience as a nonjudgmental, compassionate witness to their pain, and as a trustworthy companion on a portion of their life's journey toward wholeness and joy.
