        Welcome and thank you for visiting my website. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with fourteen years of experience treating people with a wide variety of issues. I have been in private practice for eight years and am committed to helping individuals, couples and groups enhance their quality of life with an approach that honors the mind, body and spirit. 

     If you are experiencing distress or dissatisfaction with your life, therapy is a powerful way to make a change. Most of us can get through almost anything as long as we have support. I offer a non-judgmental, nurturing and genuine relationship within which to safely explore difficult and uncomfortable material. Through discussion and experiential processes, we will work to resolve disturbing or traumatic life events and relationships. These experiences need no longer dictate your feelings, perceptions, reactions and choices in life. Instead, you can allow your own internal wisdom to guide you. You will begin to experience life with confidence, purpose and satisfaction.  

My approach to treatment is interpersonal which allows me to use the therapy relationship itself as a major instrument of change. I use  experiential and somatic techniques to access deeply hidden feelings and beliefs. Once accessed, these old experiences can be fully processes and then let go. In addition, I am a Level II-trained practitioner of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

 I strongly believe that the most successful therapy work comes from addressing all aspects of experience. I have an extensive network of practitioners from many disciplines that I refer to and consult with in order to provide my clients with an individualized and comprehensive therapy experience.
