I want to feel better. I want to be closer to my partner. I don't know what I want to do in my life. I keep saying I'm going to start... (fill in the blank) and I get on my phone, I eat, drink or shop too much. I need more balance. I need to be heard and stop being numb. I want to enjoy life and relationships more.
Through a lens of recovery, personal and professional growth I partner with you while facing the things that have limited or stopped you living the way you truly want to live. I use a blend of practices: AEDP, Mindfulness, Couples therapy and 12 step recovery and a bit of humor.
It's not about the pain. It is about an aloneness so painful that it feels unbearable. I hear you. You are not alone. I get the pain of a breaking heart that brings a person to face one's helplessness and become ready to change . It takes incredible courage to ask for help to change. I hear you. I welcome you.

In therapy we work on getting unstuck; relationship issues; compulsive behaviors; emotional wounds and needs. Anger, fear, longing, sorrow. First we will get to know one another and then we will go together to look at what keeps you from living the life you want. I use the body and emotions as guides for this. Most people have a sense of relief and hope early on.
