“The beginning is the most important part of the work.” – Plato

Recognizing that getting started can often be overwhelming, I believe in
honoring the start and not just the finish. My initial approach is creating an
empathetic space for the two of to get to know each other and to explore your
decision to begin therapy.

My work over the last 18 years has included individuals (ages 8 – 88),
couples, families, and groups. My intention is to provide insight and vehicles
to change to personal struggles and family conflict. Appreciating that every
client is different, I recognize the importance of integrating various
interventions that consider both inner strength and fragility of spirit.
Though my foundation is rooted in Psychodynamic (dealing with the
unconscious and generational influences) & Attachment Theories, I
incorporate several modalities (CBT, Solution Focused, Mindfulness,
Positivity) based on the client’s unique circumstances and history.

I am a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician and have also earned
certificates in Infant, Early Childhood and Parent Psychotherapy; Eating
Disorders; and Psychodynamic Perspectives on Trauma Treatment and
Theory.

I served as Clinical Director at Pelican Cove Counseling Center and continue
to dedicate a generous amount time to Supervising, Mentoring and Training
Associates who tirelessly and dedicatedly accrue hours towards licensure.

With my steadfast confidence in the mind’s resilience and potential, I invite
clients to welcome their path to change.
