Sometimes, life throws things at us that can knock us off course, resulting in responses like sadness, depression, anxiety or anger. I'll work with you to understand what has brought you to this place and how you reclaim your resilience and your place in life, on your terms. Together, we'll work toward re-establishing balance, regaining confidence and walking the path of healing and hope. I enjoy working with middle schoolers, teens, adults, elders and couples and use a blend of approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy, psychodynamic work and trauma-informed treatment. I am certified in EMDR therapy, which can help to reduce overwhelming responses to traumatic events. EMDR is evidenced-based and helps alleviate traumatic stress responses. I focus on working with life transitions, women's issues, divorced families, high-conflict divorce, abuse, elder issues, grief and loss, teen concerns and couples issues. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. I work with you to understand who you are so that together we can find a path that is uniquely yours. I use guided imagery at times to help calm traumatic responses, as well as mindfulness and meditation.
