My specialties include treating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and chronic pain.  I am trained in EMDR therapy and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT).  I approach therapy from a place of compassion, honesty and heart and emphasize the importance of a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for healing. I also emphasize developing unconditional friendliness towards oneself as another important piece in the healing process. In our often highly critical and aggressive culture, self kindness can cultivate profound transformation.

Individuals seeking therapy may:

Yearn to express an untapped or unexpressed potential.

Feel overwhelmed with stress, anger, anxiety, depression, or loneliness.

Experience life as a new parent, struggling to cope with your radically altered life.

Psychotherapy is life changing. It can help you to recognize and overcome the challenges that prevent you from reaching your goals and living a fulfilling, meaningful life. Learn to manage stress, resolve conflicts, or cope with depression anger, or anxiety.
