You find yourself struggling in relationships, feeling like your brain just isn’t wired for what others seem to do effortlessly. Unspoken rules in relationships feel like a mystery, and no matter how hard you try, it feels like your brain is sabotaging things. You sometimes hurt your partner without meaning to, even when you feel like you’re doing everything right. It’s exhausting to keep walking on eggshells, unsure when your partner will feel hurt by something you did—or didn’t do. It feels like there’s a missing piece, something everyone else has that you can’t seem to grasp.

I understand your struggles. Do you find yourself lying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, unable to quiet your mind? Or perhaps you wake up feeling exhausted, despite spending hours in bed? Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed, on the verge of burnout, and struggling to keep up with the demands of your career and personal life? You have tried all the remedies, such as lavender oil, white noise, and relaxation, but nothing seems to be working. You want restful sleep because you understand the importance of sleep and well-being in leading a fulfilling life.

At certain times in their lives, people experience problems that are too difficult to handle alone. When their usual modes of coping no longer work for them, they feel overwhelmed and may want to learn new ways of coping through psychotherapy. Even though ways of responding based on past experiences may no longer be helpful, people tend to repeat old patterns of behaving, thinking and feeling. In psychotherapy I can assist you to understand these "habits", to see alternatives and to change.

Does this sound like you? You're a highly sensitive person and or empath. Maybe you're the Type A, overachieving type who has a hard time truly saying what you mean or setting boundaries with the people in your life. You're passionate about personal growth, willing to "do the work" - maybe you've even been to therapy before. For you, maybe it shows up as anxiety or ADHD, maybe it's a difficult relationship with your mom or dad, a history of childhood trauma, difficulty breaking bad habits, workplace stress/burnout, procrastination, difficulty in your romantic relationship, or a sense of worthlessness you just can't seem to heal

Stop yearning for a deeper emotional connection, and instead achieve open and honest communication, and a renewed sense of trust and intimacy. If you envision a relationship where you both feel seen, heard, and understood, where conflicts are resolved with compassion and respect, we can help. The decision to seek help can bring up vulnerability and uncertainty about the future of your relationship. These feelings are valid and common; don't have to navigate these struggles alone.

My main area of focus is helping eliminate abuse in interpersonal relationships, from as seemingly "light" as bickering to more escalated confrontations. I've worked with perpetrators (males and females) of domestic violence for nine years, helping people as they work to re-establish healthier relationships with partners and family members again, or start new relationships better. Much of this is developing communication and empathy skills, all in the context of understanding yourself better and, often, your life experiences you've had that have brought you to this point.

Experiencing a mental health issue is more common than not, particularly regarding careers. When stress affects our ability to function on or off the job, it's time for help. Helping clients work through these challenges and reengage with their lives is what treatment is about. Based on a previous 25+ years as a career responder, I am familiar with stress, trauma, and maintaining balance. I also treat clients who have never worn a uniform. I see therapy goals as holistic and pragmatic by building understanding, strategies, and practices to build relief, resilience, support functioning, and recovery.

My practice is full at this time. You are exhausted from trying SO hard and never feeling like enough. Sometimes you feel ok but when you pause, you realize your thoughts are racing, your muscles are tense, and you are utterly depleted. Anxiety, self-doubt and your inner critic do not need to rule your mind and body. You are worthy of support and deserve to feel more at peace with yourself. I love to help clients strengthen inner resources, cultivate self-compassion, create healthy boundaries and find more ease and joy.
