Move Beyond Painful Patterns. Find Your Way Back to Connection.
You can feel more connected to yourself and the people you love.
Meaningful change is possible
For over 30 years, I've helped individuals and couples heal old wounds, deepen self-understanding, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
When Connection Feels Out of Reach
By now, you may be tired of feeling disconnected, even when you’re doing your best to hold everything together. You want to feel more at ease with yourself, more understood in your relationships, and able to express what you need without guilt or fear.
With so much conversation about mental health in books, podcasts, and social media, you may have begun to recognize how your past shapes the way you feel about yourself and relate to others. Some of what you hear resonates, but knowing the language doesn’t always help when you’re overwhelmed, shutting down, or caught in another painful argument. You may understand more about your patterns than ever before and still feel unsure how to change them.
Perhaps you recognize yourself here:
You put others’ needs first and struggle to make room for your own.
You second-guess yourself or worry that you’re somehow not enough.
You and your partner keep having the same arguments without feeling heard.
You miss the affection, trust, or closeness you once shared.
You understand some of your patterns, but find yourself repeating them anyway.
You don't have to keep living this way. Something different is possible.

A Little About Me
Hey, I’m Windy
A free spirit, an open heart, and a quiet rebel with a passion for justice.
I'm a child of the '60s at heart—shaped by a generation that questioned the status quo, believed in possibilities, and wasn't afraid to imagine a different way of living. That spirit of curiosity and growth has stayed with me.
Life has given me plenty of opportunities to put my beliefs into practice. I've navigated difficult chapters, started over, raised a family, and learned that courage isn't always about being fearless. Sometimes it's simply choosing a different path.
As a seasoned therapist, I bring years of experience to my work, along with an enduring curiosity about people, life, and the many ways we grow and change. Meditation keeps me grounded, music feeds my soul, African dance brings me joy. Horses, dogs, and nature ground my heart.
I bring all of that into my work—a little humor, plenty of curiosity, deep compassion, and the belief that we're never too old or too set in our ways to grow.
I believe life is meant to be lived fully, with authenticity, courage, and connection. And I love helping people find their way toward that.
“Healing isn’t about becoming someone different. It’s about finding your way back to yourself.”
Understanding why you feel or react the way you do is important. But insight alone doesn't always change deeply rooted emotional and relationship patterns.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapies, and relationship-focused work to help individuals and couples create changes that go beyond the therapy room.
For individuals, this means greater emotional balance, stronger boundaries, and a deeper connection with yourself.
For couples, it means learning to navigate difficult moments with less reactivity, greater understanding, and renewed emotional connection.
Our work is collaborative, personalized, and guided by what matters most to you.
