For over fifteen years, I have helped people recognize that their fear, despair, self-sabotaging beliefs, negative relationship patterns, and damaging behaviors are vital messages of what is needed and what is blocking their ability to reach their full potential, develop satisfying relationships, and feel more alive. Within a therapeutic relationship of understanding, insight, and connection, you will experience greater clarity and courage to make positive changes. I see my role as helping you become more fully and authentically yourself.

I specialize in helping people gain a profound understanding and acceptance of themselves. I also focus on addressing the root of people’s problems and helping them recognize new perspectives. In terms of topics, I specialize in: eating/body image issues; relationship difficulties; negative personal patterns; spiritual concerns; and helping people live more fully.

I bring considerable compassion and insight into my work and would enjoy the opportunity to get to know you.
