Introduction

If you have been looking for a dependable sense of well-being in your life, knowing that how you are in the world - how you think, feel and function - isn’t what it could be or what you’d like it to be, I offer professional and compassionate help. Your feelings and behaviors do make sense and healing is possible. We explore together who you are and what makes you "tick." You develop more balance and self-knowledge so that well-being and control of your life increases. We collaborate to help you access your fundamental "Self" and reduce internal conflict, anxiety, depression and other problems along with reducing (self) blame, shame and troublesome patterns. Internal Family Systems (IFS), a somatic/body-oriented perspective, and mindfulness/meditation - paying attention to what is here, now, with acceptance, understanding, compassion and care - are some of the lenses and tools I use to support healing and growth. I invite you to contact me for a free consultation to see if working together feels right. My goal is to be with you fully and compassionately and to help you move forward and achieve your goals.
