My intention, as I walk on the healing path with my clients, is to empower self love. We are worthy, throughout our entire life cycle, of receiving all that life has to offer. Symptoms are connected to layers of shame and distrust built up over time through trauma and false programming. Once we understand the patterns that keep us trapped in our symptoms and heal the trauma that activated those patterns, we can make the choice to actively love ourselves and create the life of our dreams.

Your intimate relationship can be one of the most important sources of joy, satisfaction and fulfillment in your life. However, issues may arise which upset that original harmony, and if left unaddressed, lead to a negative pattern of quarreling, difficult communication, and a loss of connection, trust and intimacy. In some cases, this negative spiral can further lead to depression, substance/behavioral addictions, or even an affair. I can provide you with the effective tools for identifying, addressing and resolving those challenging issues, and help you co-create a renewed sense of connection, intimacy and sacred partnership.

My work with individuals and families is grounded in helping to support the ever-changing process of growing, learning and finding a meaningful place within a family and the larger community. The challenges we face in an accelerated global culture seem extraordinarily complex for many of us who can often find ourselves overwhelmed with the demands of a non-stop, technology-driven lifestyle with unrealistic expectations. Slowing down long enough to to give needed attention to our priorities and goals can be difficult, but I'm confident that with some reflection and support we can find grounding and clarity as a path towards wellness.

Not currently accepting new clients. My style is warm and compassionate. I believe that people can only heal when they feel safe and supported, seen and heard. I have a holistic approach that honors the mind/body connection and my advanced training in trauma allows me to provide treatment that goes beyond traditional talk therapy to create deep and lasting healing.

It is easy to get swept up into what the world defines a woman should be. This world can pollute the mind into believing that extreme measures need to be taken in order to fulfill the status quo. It is exhausting molding oneself into a mold that was never meant to be. Each woman has been created for a unique purpose, and if the purpose gets diluted with the expectations of this world, the true beauty and intellect of the woman is hidden and that is a travesty. When a women sees her value in God's eyes, she truly becomes alive, as she understands she was created for a purpose, and is not a mere afterthought.

I start from the idea that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience and it’s this humanness that presents us with both unlimited abundance and challenges. Life can be complex and full at any age and most everyone is confronting an element of transition or change daily. Change, as we have all heard at one time or another, is the only constant in life. I believe we are motivated to change and evolve in life, that the Universe is nudging us to live more fully, with greater presence and gratitude. While the process of growth may not be necessarily simple, it is attainable to all of us.

Do you feel there's a split between how you look on the outside and what's happening inside you? To most people, you look okay, even high functioning. Inside, you feel unsure of yourself and unable to speak your mind. You have big emotions or numbness; relationships are confusing; you are anxious, 'too clingy,' or you avoid and isolate. Sometimes your insides spill out though you do your best to cope and keep them under wraps. I specialize in working with these struggles using body-oriented (somatic) psychotherapy.
