Let me help you grow a life you truly love.

Do you feel as if you spend your life trying to recover from past trauma, make current trauma stop, or get your life under control? Do you find the same painful patterns repeating in your relationships or in your life? Do you feel numb or find yourself "zoning out" with mindless activities? Do you want to overcome your past or improve your present so that your life truly fulfills you, and so that it fits your true nature and your potential?

I have been helping people untangle the knots of trauma and find their way home to a life that they truly love for 40 years. I am a licensed psychologist and complex trauma specialist. I am a nationally certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist with the DBT-LBC Board of Certification (retired from intensive outpatient treatment). I bring skills in EMDR therapy, somatic and polyvagal trauma therapy and ecotherapy as well. My passion is helping my clients create a life they truly love.

With a career spanning over 40 years and a warm, empowering approach, I help people untangle complex issues. While I work with people at every stage of recovery and self-actualization, I am well-known for my successful work with people suffering from severe, complex and life-threatening issues.

I also work with folx who have found their way out of the dark forest and are building out their lives, who want to explore who they are and who they are becoming, who want to empower their process and navigate masterfully with a partner in self-actualization.

If you are struggling with overwhelming emotions or out-of-control behaviors, if you can’t seem to shake a terrible experience (or stop them from repeating), if you feel like giving up, if you need support and guidance through a big life change or decision, if you are ready to make changes and need the motivation and skills to make it happen, I am here to partner with you, and I am committed to helping you reach your goals.

I will be your witness, your ally, and your expert guide. Whether you've been in therapy for years or are just gathering the courage to see a therapist, I will make a safe space for you. I will be right by your side. I'm here for you and can't wait to meet you!
