Life is a journey with unexpected challenges and at times suffering. We all need supports and strategies to rediscover our inner strengths. I work in a partnership with you as we explore and unpack your relationships, your roles and your sense of self. There is always hope and meaning even in the darkest places. Also in all relationships there are times when one or both partners feel hopeless, frustrated, betrayed or deeply hurt by the other. In both individual and couple counseling we work together to develop new techniques towards not only coping, but towards finding renewed hope and meaning. I love what I do!
Over the last 25 years of working with stress, anxiety, pain and trauma I have become increasingly inspired by the strength and resilience of others. I work with a trauma-informed approach; the ultimate goal is to cope and thus "get up in the morning" with a purpose. I cautiously unpack trauma histories replacing them with new meanings and hope.
I am open-minded, authentic and warm. I use an eclectic approach with the model that is most suited at the time to the personality type, current situation and specific needs. I tend to go back and forth organically between models as people are complex and cannot be pigeon holed into any one way. Experience joy, live in the moment and be kind to yourself!
