About Me

Hello and welcome. I'm here to support you as you overcome your current challenges and recover from the painful wounds you carry and/or trauma you may have endured. You don't have to do it alone. You can explore: stress, relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, overwhelm, self-esteem, etc. I work with adults healing the wounds of childhood: emotional, psychological, physical and sexual abuse, indifference, neglect, and other traumas. The healing process is a transformative one, involving an honest and open exploration of your thoughts and emotions; if you are ready to do this, we are likely a good therapeutic fit. With over 30 years experience, my work is person-centered, strength-based, emotion-focused, incorporating wisdom from many therapeutic traditions. Consider the Body-Mind-Emotion-Spirit connection; strengthening one contributes to your overall health & healing. I'll help you reclaim your authentic self, build positive life change, and nurture your well-being. Come and share what's bothering you. I'll listen attentively and gain a thorough understanding of all the factors that bring you to therapy. We'll work collaboratively on the issues most important to you. I'll provide you with support, validation, encouragement, information, insight, and practical life strategies. I'm here, so when you are ready - email me.
