About Dr.
Together, we can make sense of what’s feeling difficult and explore what may help you move forward. In our work, we slow things down and make space to reflect so you can feel more steady and more like yourself again. Many people come to therapy during periods of transition, when something in life no longer feels workable, but it’s not yet clear what comes next. I work with adults across many stages of life and the challenges that can arise in relationships, family, work, health, caregiving, grief, and aging. I’ve been a licensed therapist since 1988, and I bring both professional experience and life experience into my work. I’ve also seen that difficult periods can change how we understand ourselves and what matters to us. My approach is compassionate, thoughtful, and direct when helpful. My work is also informed by training in Integrative Health and Lifestyle Practices. Chronic stress affects both mind and body, so alongside mental health, we may also pay attention to the daily practices that affect how we feel emotionally and physically - sleep, movement, nutrition, relationships, spirituality, and environment. Often, small changes can make a real difference in how you feel over time. Our work can also help you understand patterns that no longer serve you and make room for ways of living that feel more sustainable over time. If this feels like a good fit, we can talk about next steps in a way that feels comfortable for you. Read more Show less
