Welcome
A little bit about me
Over the course of three decades, I have been continually and consistently in awe of the self-awareness and growth that can occur within a therapeutic relationship. Its wholehearted presence, deeply respectful listening, and empathic engagement can have a profound impact on our lives.
My style of relating is rooted in collaboratively creating an emotionally safe and caring environment that gives rise to authentic connections with yourself, others and the world we live in. I welcome the opportunity to work with you!

My Work
In my private practice, I work with people from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in young adults and women who experience challenges with life transitions, relationships, anxiety and/or depression, and parents who are looking to engage in more cooperative and nurturing relationships with their children. I see these challenges through the lens of personal growth and wholeness.
I have come to understand relationships through the eyes of Relational-Cultural Therapy; I know that the yearning for genuine connection is basic to life and that our relational nature drives us to grow through and toward connection. Though there is a natural flow of connection, disconnection, and reconnection that occurs within relationships, it is when there are ongoing disconnections that we experience psychological unease and a sense of isolation, fearfulness and emotional distress.
My understanding of the therapeutic process continues to deepen through my ongoing study of Relational-Cultural Theory, and my interest in Mindfulness, Neuroscience and Ecopsychology.
