"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." Haruki Murakami. I cannot stave off life and its inevitable pains--loss, grief, and trauma--but I will hold a safe space for you. I will join you without judgement where you are, as you are. I will tailor therapy to the uniqueness of your needs. Through this supportive, compassionate partnership, your sense of trust and of personal power will be reclaimed. Issues, whether with addictions, relationships, "stuckness", trauma, etc., will be brought to light and to resolution. Moreover, through this process you will manifest your inherent creativity, connection, peace, love, and joy. In additional to talk therapy, I offer specializations like EMDR, experiential therapy, psychodrama, yoga therapy, etc., which are effective and efficient evidenced based practices for enhancing resiliency and trauma resolution. Empowered with new tools and skills, you will shift from surviving to thriving. I believe that we are all of divine creation, and my job is to connect with the sacred within you. I serve as your mirror, reflecting your "me" so that you may truly be seen, heard and valued. Together, we will transform your pain, claiming instead peace, joy and opportunity.
