She is a certified Gestalt therapist, certified Imago Relationship therapist and a trauma therapist certified in Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting. She has over 25 years experience.

I am a Registered Art Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate with over 10 years experience providing individual and group therapy. As a practicing Art Therapist, I have witnessed time and again the tremendous healing power of the creative process, facilitated in a safe yet inspiring setting. In my work I draw inspiration from Gestalt, Existential and Transpersonal approaches to counseling. I am comfortable working with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, groups, and families to assess and treat the following: anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotional problems and disorders; family and relationship issues; abuse and domestic violence; social and emotional difficulties, grief and loss.

A holistic, body/mind integrating psychotherapist and art therapist, my 23 years experience with individuals and couples shapes collaborations in which the client's own wisdom-knowing guides unique journeys into wholeness.

My experiential psychodynamic approach to depth healing and integration incorporates gestalt, applied existential psychology, creativity, guided imagery and dreamwork to resolve family of origin issues, developmental trauma, major life transitions, and explore potent life experiences such as relationships, chronic illness, eldering and identifying as GLBT.

I also facilitate classes based on Artlife Creation, exploring the intuitive creativity inherent throughout our lives, and authored the Sounds True teaching set Artlife: Creative Journeys for Life Healing (http://www.soundstrue.com/shop/Artlife/4273.pd)

My passion lies in helping women develop a healthy relationship with food. This means working on the issues that lead to eating disorders, disordered eating, compulsive overeating, binge-eating and 'yo-yo' dieting. These issues may include relationship problems, depression, anxiety, obsessive and compulsive behaviors in other parts of your life, etc. Effective therapy for food-related behaviors also includes training to help you break the destructive and problematic diet-binge cycles, while learning to pay attention to your body's own hunger and fullness signals. Therapy is compassionate, nonjudgemental, and understanding.

My clientele are women from 18-75! At the request of the client, I will be happy to include partner/spouse/family/friends in therapy, when that involvement enhances her success.

I’m excited about helping people become aware of how they create barriers to authentic human contact in their relationships and helping to transform those that don’t serve them in a healthy way.

I love to work with people who are willing to learn to take personal responsibility in how they make contact in their relationships.

I love to work with people who want to really engage with their own growth.

This is the soul of my work: to help you explore your issues; confront your fears; heal your wounded places; and find the courage to live and speak your truth.

Working with me gives you the opportunity to see your problems, both personal and relational, in a new light. I have worked effectively with clients to: improve their relationships; invigorate their sex life; deepen their intimacy; prepare a solid foundation for a healthy marriage; move through a major life transition; recover from a divorce; define and achieve career goals; manage depression and anxiety, recover from addictions; and courageously face end of life issues. I can help you go from where you are to where you want to be.
