“You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared and anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person.
It makes you human.”

My approach to therapy for women
My approach is a combination of relational, depth-oriented and somatic therapies, which untangle the past from the present and strengthen inner resources. By exploring bodily and emotional experience, women in therapy develop the awareness necessary to heal and transform their lives and relationships. By recognizing old patterns and limiting beliefs, women learn ways to feel more joy, ease and fulfillment in their lives and relationships.
In individual therapy, I offer skilled support to help you:
Experience more meaning and authenticity in your life and relationships.
Cultivate trust and intimacy in relationships.
Know and accept yourself deeply and bring this knowing into your relationships.
Discover what you really want in life (work, relationships, family, activities).
Develop inner resources to deal effectively with life’s challenges
