Do you find yourself saying, "How did I get here?" or "Something has to change". Often life presents us with the challenges of marriage and relationship struggles, parenting issues, questions of faith and spirituality, financial uncertainty, and, for many, traumatic experiences. I specialize in partnering with you to determine a new path forward with more freedom and greater meaning and purpose. The process of therapy is always guided by your values and goals. You have options and you have all that you need to move forward into the life that you have hoped for.

Eirene simply means peace and reconciliation within yourself and with other people. How is your relationship with yourself? What about with other people? When those relationships are unbalanced it can look like repeating the same dysfunctional patterns no matter how hard you try. It can feel like you are stuck, unmotivated, frustrated and don't have the energy to make the changes you desire or not being sure of what changes you need to make to live a fuller, more complete life. You may also feel overwhelmed, anxiety filled, doubt in yourself and your abilities, anger/irritation, and setting impossible goals for yourself.

I focus on helping people understand their underlying motivations and identify emotions that are being suppressed. The purpose of this is to help people develop a stronger sense of self, identify what motivates destructive patterns in their life, and help resolve interpersonal struggles. I work with couples and individuals and specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of personality disorders.
