My Approach to Helping

Hey there--thanks for checking out my profile and taking a courageous step toward greater well being. I believe that therapeutic change comes from the inside out, helping you to identify, understand, and manage your emotional experience.

You might enjoy working with me if you are:

- Someone who wants to reconcile your personal identity with societal pressures and expectations?racial, sexual, gender, spiritual, andor professional
- A self-employed artist, musician, or creative social entrepreneur who wants to step more fully into your next phase, including leadership roles
- A survivor of childhood emotional trauma who wants to be more present and grounded in your life, particularly during a major life transition
- A motherless daughter wanting support in navigating a life impacted by loss

If you can relate and would like to connect, contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

My specialties include:

- healing from childhood emotional abuse and neglect
- clarifying needs in relationship
- navigating difficult life transitions
- embracing leadership as a purpose-driven social entrepreneur
- finding meaning as a motherless daughter
- supporting changes that increase self-esteem and confidence
- reflecting on issues of identity, purpose, and meaning

My Therapy Focus

Mindfulness is the foundation for the three approaches I integrate into therapy: somatic (body-based) practices, relationalanalytic therapy, and Internal Family Systems ("parts" work). I believe therapy works best when we get present to your moment-to-moment experience, which leads you to the answers that work best for you.
