About me
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with almost 30 years experience, I consider myself a holistic psychotherapist who works to address the whole person in therapy, not just their symptoms. In a space grounded in respect and humor, I work with you to tap into your inner wisdom and innate creativity. Together, we can explore new ways of thinking, shift old patterns, and move toward a greater sense of safety, agency, and connection in your world.
The world has seemed like a challenging place lately, have you noticed? Sometimes things like anxiety and depression are actually normal reactions to abnormal circumstances. Sometimes they’re rooted in long-standing issues, or responses to traumas we can’t quite name. Either way, feeling anxious, frozen, sad, or stuck can make it hard to live the life you want, especially in challenging times.
One thing I'm sure of is that you deserve to feel better, now. As an EMDR practitioner since 2015, a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, and an Expressive Arts Therapist, I am well equipped to help you find symptom relief as soon as possible. And with good old fashioned problem solving and support, we can work together to bring real growth, balance and peace to your life.
Let me know when you’re ready to get started!
