Authenticity, Humor, Collaboration
I received my Masters in Couples and Family Therapy in 2007, from Argosy University, Honolulu Hawaii. I have done ongoing training and practice in Gestalt Psychotherapy and Process Group work since 2009. I also have done Orgonomy/Reichian somatic body work training and practice since 2015.
I have worked with 5 different Non-Profit agencies doing work with folks of all ages and backgrounds, dealing with a large spectrum of Mental & Emotional Health needs from 2005-2013. I have been doing Group work since 2006. I started my Private Practice in 2009 and have been doing Clinical Supervision since 2016.
I am a Gestalt, Family Systems and Somatic/Body oriented Psychotherapist. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups dealing with varying struggles such as difficult life transitions, trauma, loss, identity development, stress and addiction. I also address how to effectively work with differences in any relationship, enabling more supportive connection and effective communication.
I provide psychotherapy with compassion, humor and an ability to be transparent, direct and authentic. I provide a supportive environment for people going through difficult life transitions, coming to terms with painful experiences, and recognizing unhelpful patterned behavior. I provide support and awareness for how to get your needs met effectively and sustainably, as well as to develop and maintain more satisfying and nourishing relationships. My work is centered around helping you develop awareness of yourself, your interactions with others, and the impact you have, which then allows for lasting change and meaningful connection.
