Welcome!

Let’s create more comfort on your path.

When we increase our ability to meet life from a state of relaxed, focused awareness, our authenticity emerges naturally. Increased authenticity allows us to know what needs our feelings are signaling, and to relate with ourselves and others more honestly and compassionately.

The brain/mind/body is always working towards health and well-being. Sometimes there are blocks in the way. These blocks create anxiety and depression in various forms. I believe the purpose of therapy is to help remove barriers to allow your own natural healing to proceed.

A safe, accepting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship fosters increased emotional balance and well-being, including at the level of your neurochemistry. I use various approaches and work with my clients as co-detectives.

We seek, discover, and implement your personal path to greater emotional freedom and improved relationships with self and others.

I specialize in trauma and its effects, which may include: anxiety, depression, relational problems, sleep problems, anger, and sometimes even physical pain. Many people who don’t identify with trauma have similar effects in their system and benefit from therapy. I use the evidence-based practices of EMDR, CBT, (see “therapies” tab) mindfulness and somatic practices to help clients increase resilience in the face of life’s turbulence.
