I work with people often at a crossroads in life. Many times, therapy is the place you figure out where to go next. Sometimes this includes reflection on where you've been and what is most important to you now. I am here to walk that path with you -- in a nonjudgmental and loving way, as you find a more satisfying way to be in the world and wit
Currently accepting new clients! Personal discovery and growth is one of life's greatest challenges but also provides one of life's greatest rewards.

After nearly two decades of sitting with clients who felt stuck, repeating the same anxious patterns, wrestling with trauma responses they understood but couldn’t shift, I went searching for something more. That’s what led me to brainspotting, a powerful brain-body-based therapy that helps move trauma and emotional pain stored deep in t
I believe in the strength of the person (s) coming to therapy, and their ability to heal themselves with some guidance. If someone is motivated to find assistance in their journey, then they are already half way through the challenge. My clients come to tell their story, both verbally and through the observance and tracking of the bodily sensatio
I believe that our earliest experiences lay the foundation for our sense of ourselves in relation to others. In my specialty of working with new mothers and their infants, I address the impact of a mother's own attachment experiences on her ideas about herself and motherhood.
