Great to meet you!

In private practice since 2008, working with individuals, couples, and groups on Maui, in CA and OR. I enjoy working with those ready to change and grow, to live a more balanced, fulfilling life by bringing compassion & understanding to behavior patterns, initiating change and orienting toward their true life goals. I focus on topics of life transitions, specialize in couples & intimacy coaching (PACT), Birth as well as Relational Somatic Trauma Recovery and post traumatic and spiritual growth.

My approach to therapy

Specialized in Trauma Recovery & Relational Somatic Psychotherapy, Jungian Psychology. Addressing the deeper meaning of how symptoms present, I support you to see how they point toward an area where healing wants to happen. Interested in finding the root causes, we work together to bring the unconscious to conscious awareness - change becomes possible.
