Life can be unsettling, overwhelming, even traumatic at times. Self-esteem can waiver, relationships can be difficult, we can become anxious, depressed, experience guilt, loss and sadness. All are normal parts of the human experience, yet not always easy to navigate on our own. My belief is that through a dialogical relationship with a compassionate other, while listening to the information our body provides, healing is very possible. We go beyond coping techniques, to uncover the wounds that are under the current struggles. We will process traumas on a deep level, bringing more capacity and freedom to your nervous system.

There are times in life when we feel afraid, sad, anxious, angry, stuck, overwhelmed. We can’t find a feeling of ease and contentment within ourselves. We need someone to listen empathically and without judgement, to see us for who we truly are. I’m here to help you connect to your inner knowing and heal old wounds, make sense of confused states, soothe anxiety and sadness, resolve trauma, and appreciate life again. Men in our culture require attention to how their feeling selves have been repressed. Couples, in trouble, often have a deep yearning to become relational and connected while maintaining their authentic selves.

I understand that it is stressful when your child is struggling, and you might not know where to turn. I have a strong background in working with children who find it difficult to communicate, express their emotions, and connect with others. I will work in a way that is fun for your child and will give them opportunities to improve their skills in communicating, connecting and problem solving. Children will want to work with me because it will be fun, and they are working out their issues through play and art making. I work with children by incorporating their interests and by understanding the developmental level of the children.
