I have been a psychologist, marriage therapist and coach for many years and truly enjoy helping people find ways to overcome life challenges in their personal life, workplace, and relationships. I see myself as a teacher as well as a therapist.
I understand that those struggling with anxiety need a safe, validating, and empathetic therapeutic relationship. This is of utmost importance, and can give you the space you need to explore novel avenues of healing and growth.
I have experience with working on specific fears/phobias, generalized anxiety, panic, and anxiety that has been somaticized. I know the impact that a racing mind can have on the whole self. I use primarily mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy to help to slow the mind down and create space stillness, acceptance, and self-compassion.
We understand that those struggling with anxiety need a safe, validating, and empathetic therapeutic relationship. This is of utmost importance, and can give you the space you need to explore novel avenues of healing and growth.
“What if..?” It’s like a silent monster that no one else can hear - always questioning but never giving you the answer. It can paralyze or make us want to run and hide. Together, we can learn to quiet the beast, to better understand it and work with our anxieties rather than let them control us.
I work with my clients to uncover the core problems causing their anxiety and fears. Anxiety is a natural human process that is hardwired into is. Experiencing anxiety does not mean there is something wrong with you, it means that your body is trying to tell you something. Together, we can work collaboratively to uncover the meaning behind these anxieties and fears.
I believe that at times it is difficult for us to see things clearly. My goal is to help you re-adjust your way of looking at yourself and your world, and to help you realize what is possible. I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship that develops between you and me.
Specializing in techniques that reduce anxiety symptoms, I provide a supportive space to explore and manage your fears, helping you regain control and find peace.

My approach to therapy as a Jungian analyst is to listen deeply to discover the unique person that you are and the problems you are facing. In a safe, caring, and supportive setting we will utilize dream analysis, journaling, and other creative work to help guide you back to the wisdom within.
