I am a strong advocate for healthy relationships both inside and outside of the home. Numerous studies have shown how strong relationships impact the very quality of our lives, reducing anxiety and depression and increasing trust, empathy, cooperation and self-esteem.  Healthy relationships support our immune systems, recovery from disease, resilience, and creativity.

In therapy, I use my relational training and knowledge of the body, brain, and mind to support you in finding self-compassion, healthy connections with those you love, and daily practices for balance.

During our sessions, I will gently guide you to reach into the well of your self-knowledge, listening for the most deeply held memories, questions, and needs, which act as thresholds to discovery and renewal. I may offer you evidenced-based experiential exercises to try, which are informed by modern neuroscience, contemplative practices, and relational psychology.

My work often centers on guiding people through transitions. Whether focusing on health and mindfulness, developing a more precise professional/career forecast, or resolving whether to stay, leave or change a relationship, I aim to help you cultivate presence, compassion, and well-being.

Although not mutually exclusive, I believe in equal parts courage and acceptance.  Psychotherapy sessions help to create clarity, healthy boundaries, a greater sense of purpose, and a solid relationship with yourself and your loved ones.
