Life can be challenging and sometimes painful. Most clients come to me due to distress or general life dissatisfaction. My goal is to foster a safe place for individuals to share their feelings and their pain. I want clients to feel heard and understood. I feel it is a privilege to help people find ways to cope and empower them through challenging crisis or relationship struggles. My approach is collaborative and I try to build upon a person's strengths. For some clients, I provide tools and suggestions and for others I help them to identify their role in the conflict.

Being disconnected from yourself or stuck in a joyless existence is not something you must simply endure. The lingering effects of trauma caused by overwhelming events can prevent you from experiencing the present fully or anticipating the future with hope. Imagine living life without the frenzy of distraction, the seduction of escape or the public relations campaign of always being “fine”. How would it feel to no longer be controlled by another person or event? What would it be like to be in relationships without anxiety, fear or intimidation? What if you laughed more, worried less, and interacted with yourself compassionately?

My approach is rooted in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and accepted. I meet each individual where they are on their journey, providing support and guidance. I prioritize empathy, collaboration, and emotional safety and honor the trust my clients place in me by creating a space where they can explore their innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Together, we'll explore your inner landscape, uncover your strengths and cultivate the change you desire.
