​Welcome! I provide individual and couples psychotherapy online; built on seventeen years of experience in clinics and private practice in USA (Atlanta, GA & Asheville, NC) and  online with clients from all over the world.      
I am an IMAGO  Relationship  Therapist and Consultant,with advanced training.  

   I work with individuals and couples who are wanting to move beyond stuckness in their lives  with in-depth understanding and  more  meaningful connections.  Sometimes the stuckness  can show up as panic attacks or anger issues, or maybe indecision, depression or a creative block .  Often in  exploring the "problem" and our reality, we find the way beyond and what our psyches are calling us towards. 

I   have   worked with people struggling with the majority of the problems that plague  humans, from addiction to  depression to life transitions or psychosis. 

Working together...
 My background includes person-centered, experiential and psychodynamic theory, and includes   
 Focusing​ approach.   I   primarily embrace  approaches   to   psychotherapy  that work with the  body and  engage with the unconscious (depth psychology).   
We  listen to the  subtle movements, language and patterns  that underlie your choices and what is trying to come forward and be heard in your life. This approach is particularly guided by  my practice of the experiential somatic approach called   Focusing. Learning to listen to the story and wisdom of our bodily process  is an incredibly powerful tool for growth.    

I specialize in IMAGO relationship work. With the help of this method, we address frayed and stuck communication patterns in order to restore connection and the drive for growth and integration, both  within the relationship and individually.     I also offer other services: Focusing sessions, Imago Relationship coaching and Dialogue Facilitation.    
​

​
I look forward to our meeting and creating a space for meaningful change. Reach out  to me with any questions.
