I have been a psychotherapist in private practice for about forty years. After receiving my MSW, I felt I needed additional training to work effectively with clients. I studied psychoanalysis for three years, and I received a certificate in psychoanalytic oriented psychotherapy. It was extremely helpful because of the intensive supervision I received.

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress and worry? Is every day filled with anxiety or sadness? Perhaps you lack confidence and struggle with self-esteem issues? Has Covid perhaps made you feel even more that you are not in control of your life? Is all of this making it harder and harder to cope with everyday life? I know what it means to get to a place where you can have peace, self-acceptance and contentment, where you can find meaning and happiness in your life, whatever you decide to accomplish.


I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families, teens and the elderly. Using many practices that have been proven to work, including mindfulness and meditation, we will work together to help you accomplish your personal and professional goals.

Being human means struggling sometimes, and being human means finding the ability to go beyond our struggles. By working together, we will help you learn new skills and use your own wisdom to reach your goals and build greater self-awareness and self-empowerment, overcome depression, anxiety, stress and self-worth issues, and live a fuller and happier life.

I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck, disconnected from their body, or who carry an extensive trauma history. Whether you’re highly analytical and struggling to drop into your body, or finding it hard to feel and name your emotions, I offer approaches that meet you where you are. Using somatic and body-based methods, including movement, mindfulness, imagery, and metaphor, I help clients access their inner world, integrate difficult experiences, and break through old patterns.
