About

After working with individuals across all stages of life for over 30 years, I have come to believe that we are all wired for health in our relationships with ourselves and others. However, when faced with early trauma or a lack of emotional safety, our systems can adapt by remaining in a vigilant state or by disconnecting or shutting down.

In keeping with this premise, I employ a collaborative therapeutic style marked by warmth, empathy and respect. My integrative approach to psychotherapy draws heavily from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, emotion-focused therapy, somatic work and mindfulness. This cohesive approach combines the latest psychological knowledge and techniques with early wisdom traditions in order to support clients as they move towards a restoration of well-being in their minds, bodies and relationships.

With a Psypact License, I can work with patients/clients in most states within the US.
