Grief is the price we pay for loving deeply and having to let go. It can result from the death of a loved one, end of a relationship, or the loss of a job, home or former identity. Grief can feel simultaneously empty, yet heavy. It can cause confusion of how to go on living a "normal" life. It can also feel like no one else could possibly understand. After a decade of working alongside individuals who were dying, providing counseling to care givers and loved ones, I understand the significant pain and trauma of grieving. I also know how to help in healing and restoring hope.

If you feel something in your life needs to change but aren't sure what, you’re not alone. You might have ideas about what you need and you’re ready for action, but you’re not sure where/how to start. You’re probably tired at this point – tired of feeling distracted, worried, frustrated, or sad. You’re ready to overcome the feelings and thoughts that brought you here. The good news is you’ve already started: you’re reading this, which means you’re closer to finding relief, growth, and strength. Together we’ll face your problems; you’ll learn new ways of thinking and feeling that help you tame your emotions, rather than obey them.

I believe that people’s behavior and mind are highly complex and, therefore, require a complex approach to develop self-awareness that translates into sustainable change. The therapeutic process needs time and patience before the shift of perception will be noticed. I understand therapy as fine-tuning between theoretical approaches, patient needs, genuine care, a non-judgmental environment, trust, and collaboration.

I work with you to discover what a meaningful life looks like and make changes that lead to deeper fulfillment. Deep, attentive listening creates a safe space for you to explore your unfiltered thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we will create greater awareness and understanding of negative patterns that keep you stuck and experiment with different ways of responding to life’s many challenges and complexities. I am passionate about working with people struggling with low self-esteem and high self-criticism, stressful life transitions, and difficulty in relationships.

Do you and your partner struggle to communicate effectively with one another, resulting in unwanted difficulties and tension within your relationship? Are you dissatisfied with your relationships?

With individuals, I work to help you understand and overcome difficulties in feeling empowered and in control of your life.

The world can feel overwhelming. Especially at a time where everything in both personal life and professional life is in flux. How do you adjust the changes outside of your control? Are you struggling with unwanted thoughts, feelings, or ideas? Has anxiety taken over so much of your head that you don’t know what would be left if it fell silent?

You aim for success and often achieve it! But somehow an empty feeling sometimes arises and the healthier, inner, emotional life you value feels just out of reach. Perhaps at times the relationships you hold dear are affected in ways you don't intend.
