My expertise is working with adults experiencing life challenges.
Some transitions can be anticipated while others can feel unimaginable, unexpected, shocking and very painful.
Issues I support clients with:
-
Trauma
-
Caregiving and health related issues
-
Grief and loss
-
Changes in significant relationships and roles
-
Parenting adult children
-
Employment transitions
-
Aging
If you...
-
Feel confused, sad, stressed or overwhelmed
-
Feel alone or numb
-
Struggle with regrets, guilt or shame
-
Feel uncertain about next steps
-
Difficulty identifying your own wants and needs
Significant life challenges often...
-
Activate old wounds and trauma
-
Resurface unresolved family dynamics and stressers
-
Loss, grief, anxiety and an array of feelings often arise when facing these difficulties.
-
Echoes of the past can significantly impact present life.
-
Our roles and responsibilities can suddenly shift and we can feel out of sync with ordinary life.

About Me
Specializing in Life Challenges, Transitions and Loss Therapy
I am an LCSW and a Certified Grief Educator trained by the world-renowned grief expert, David Kessler. Years of Jungian, somatic and dream analysis, and trauma training guide my work. In addition, I am a long-term meditation and Tai Chi practitioner and teacher. I was the founding Executive Director of an award winning non-profit agency addressing the complex unmet mental health needs of adults facing multiple losses, multi-generational caregiving, health issues and loneliness.
My varied skills, sensitivity and training inform my services. I have a long-term commitment to the deep inner journey.
“In every adult there lurks a child- an eternal child something that is always becoming, is
never completed, and calls for unceasing care, attention and education. That is the part
of the personality which wants to develop and become whole.”
-Carl Jung
My key principles are kindness, presence, and a trust in our capacity to integrate,
change, and live enriching lives.
