"We are hard-wired for connection and so I focus on couple, family and individual relationships. At their best, our close relationships feel like home - safe and secure places where joy and support abound. When relationships feel strained, or you’ve lost a sense of safety and stability, we struggle. In your partnership, you may be experiencing disconnection, repetitive fights, mistrust, infidelity, lack of intimacy, or loss of emotional connection. In my work with couples, I connect with each of your perspectives, working as a translator for your emotional needs and hurts, and helping you heal any fractures of trust or old wounds."

"We all face challenges and often times the most difficult thing is knowing when and how to ask for help. You are because you have taken that brave step. I am here to support you and collaborate with you to figure out what wellness and wholeness can look like for you. As an art therapist, I believe the creative process offers a unique avenue for exploring and complementing talk therapy. Sometimes it is difficult to put our experiences and feelings into words and it is helpful to have another way to express them. You do not need to have any artistic skills, just an openness and curiosity to learn more about yourself."

"Welcome. The most important aspect of psychotherapy is the relationship with the therapist. Working through conflicts or past pain happens through experiencing, not just through merely reading or thinking about things. Gaining self acceptance and discovering how to bring an open heart to your family or intimate relationships does not come simply from acquiring an insight, or from reading a "how to" book. It starts with the healing relationship... and the only way you will find out how comfortable you might feel with your therapist is to talk to them in person. My focus in treatment is on the relationship."
