About me
A psychotherapist enjoying many years of working with Adults, Couples and Teens who struggle with Anxiety, Self/Body image, Communication, Recovery, Overwhelm .and Eating issues, with caring, cutting edge, interactive support. Strong availability of focus on mind/body and nervous system regulation, emotional calming and peaceful enrichment.
I had always wanted to help people and seemed to have strengths in listening and reassurance. Through theater and teaching involving youth and families in my 20's I became attracted to returning to school to become a therapist.
I thrived my first internships and an instructor that became a mentor after I attained my masters degree. She taught her students powerful tools for our use with clients that were unique to the program so I felt fortunate. Now I had everything I needed to pass my exams for licensure and begin a private practice! This enabled me to serve a wide variety of clients and provide an expanded version of therapeutic skills to help more people.
Since 1997 I have honed and added my own ways of working with clients , interweaving the mind, emotions, heart/spirit and somatic therapies, along with deeply personalized guided imageries and later, two certifications in hypnotherapy. My background has a strong slant towards cutting edge mind body and mindfulness therapies, yet the traditional support the base greatly.
It is a joy for me to work with healing trauma, anxiety, and guide many in their recovery process from drugs/ alcohol, eating disorders and self esteem/distorted body image problems. I also specialize in anxiety and calming, rebuilding the nervous system's functioning.
I have strong experience with couples as well, preparing them to spend their lives together in marriage or with those in relationships, enriching communication, deepening connection and helping each partner feel heard, seen and understood better by the other.
I have spent years honing and continually adding to my craft in your best interest.
I am happy to listen to you and come to know you, present and historically how you came to be dealing with the stress and life's little(and huge) interruptions and partner with you to get back to the flow of loving(or at least being ok with) your life!
