About
With warmth and collaboration, I offer practical strategies for working through difficult emotions—such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the effects of childhood wounds. Drawing on decades of experience and therapeutic tools like (IFS) Internal Family Systems work and mindfulness practices, I support you in reaching compassionate clarity, healing, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. My approach is non-formulaic; Your voice and choices are honored at every step. I also do groups for adult children who are healing from challenging childhood experiences and who are cultivating improved self-leadership. I enjoy working with couples on communication, blending families, reigniting long-term relationships, and navigating life’s big changes such as empty next, retirement and health challenges. A special focus of my practice is assisting Creatives—from entrepreneurs to artists—who face unique pressures in their careers and relationships.
