Depression? Anxiety? Difficulties in your relationships? Trauma? ...

Do you find yourself saying, "How did I get here?" or "Something has to change". Often life presents us with the challenges of marriage and relationship struggles, parenting issues, questions of faith and spirituality, financial uncertainty, and, for many, traumatic experiences.

You have options and you have all that you need to move forward into the life that you have hoped for.

I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with life issues particularly anxiety, depression and trauma. Together, we examine areas of struggle or "stuckness" and identify new ways of being more engaged and effective in relationship with others and ourselves.

For individuals seeking greater self-growth, I am a fully-trained and certified Jungian psychoanalyst and use dreams and active imagination to identify unconscious material that may lead an individual to a greater sense of life fulfillment and ultimately joy!
