Are you struggling to let go of lingering hurt, anger, shame, or guilt related to your past? Do you feel unworthy, not enough, or have difficulty trusting others? Do you lack a sense of meaning and purpose in your life or feel alone in your relationship with your partner? Are you and your partner caught in hurtful patterns of communication? Whether you come alone or with a partner, I help people work through difficult emotions, improve communication and boundaries, and feel more connected and at peace in their lives. I also help teens struggling with issues related to identity, confidence, mood, and relationships.
I value being fully present with my clients and providing unconditional acceptance in our encounters. I specialize in Internal Family Systems Therapy for complex trauma, which emphasizes re-establishing a connection with suppressed emotions and parts of the self to heal. With couples, I use Emotion-Focused Therapy to transform old, stuck ways of relating.
I know how hard it can be to take the first step and reach out to a therapist. I also know that living a life held back by our past, the pursuit of perfection, a lack of meaning and purpose, and strain in our relationships isn’t a life fully lived. It CAN be different. Reach out and schedule a free phone consult or book online with me today.

Many of the adults I see describe a lack of meaning and purpose in their lives. They feel lonely, anxious, and isolated, including in their relationships. The couples I work with often describe a profound sense of disconnection. I help clients broaden their perspectives and process painful emotions so that they can feel more at ease and connected to self and others.

With couples, I use Emotion-Focused Therapy to help you get out of stuck patterns of communication by helping you hear the deeper, more tender longings, hurts, and fears behind the reactivity on the surface. By creating new corrective experiences with our partners, we chip away at blocks to connection and rebuild trust, intimacy, and closeness where it's been lost.
