About My Clients

I work with all adults but specialize in womens' issues. I believe the challenges women face as we navigate the different seasons of our lives are mostly riffs on a common melody. We leave ourselves behind as we care for everyone else, lose our natural authenticity as we play the roles expected of us, or pursue a definition of success that leaves us unbalanced, exhausted, and ultimately unfulfilled. I am truly passionate about helping women who are finally ready to play their own tune!

My Background and Approach

I have a background in a wide range of modalities including Mind-Body Approaches, Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Energy Psychology, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Hypnosis, Biofeedback, and Integrative Coaching. My approach is informed by my training and experience in these evidence-based approaches and delivered in a down-to-earth and accessible manner. Each therapy relationship is unique, and my top priority is making sure you feel safe, heard, and understood. As your partner in well-being, I'll be a fierce advocate for your goals and dreams - providing support when you need it, and challenging you when we agree the time is right. I'll stand by you while you process your past and travel with you as you create your future. I'll provide a safe space when you're vulnerable, and help you connect with your motivation, discover your strength and wisdom, overcome obstacles, let go of what doesn't work for you, and ignite your capacity to thrive!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that with the right tools and the right partner, you can cultivate joy and fulfillment, cope with challenges gracefully, and achieve your most meaningful goals! Almost 30 years of experience has taught me that we have the capacity to create change at the cellular level, and current findings in neuroimaging support that belief. My training in a variety of evidence-based approaches has given me the strategies to help you tap into that capacity. My integrative approach is based on my belief that tapping into that inner power is the key to healing physical challenges and overcoming mental and emotional struggles. My lived experience has made me a true believer! Specifically, I work with adults struggling with stress-related challenges including physical illness and pain, with women struggling with food, weight, and body image challenges, coping with the transition into midlife, and who are sick and tired of struggling with self-worth and are ready to authentically flourish!
